While we are happy to offer a list of references to all prospective clients, we thought we’d share insight from clients, education chairs and members of the media, all of which have worked with us time and time again.
Meghan and her team deserve more than 5 stars. It’s actually quite cruel to limit her/them to only five, haha! As a part of her speaking track within the collective, I’ve received both educational and press opportunities that I NEVER would have otherwise earned. LA Times? Brides? Check. Check. As a more niche service provider (live wedding artist), I’m often “forgotten” by the greater industry. Meghan and her team always make me feel so valued. My voice matters, and she advocates for it to be heard. I’ll always be grateful!

Meghan and her team are the best in the business. Not only are they so knowledgeable and share a wealth of resources in their PR membership proactively all the time, but they are the nicest group of people and truly care about your business and delivering a great experience. Through the membership, I was able to secure placements in Martha Stewart Living, LA Times, AP News (distributed to NBC, ABC, Fox, CBS, + local media outlets), Bridal Guide, Destination I Do, Love Inc, interviews on podcasts, and more for my stationery business. And Meghan helped me navigate some tricky PR partnerships that arose organically outside of the membership during office hours. If you’re on the fence about joining, I would definitely recommend it for your wedding business. You won’t be disappointed in the quality and sheer number(!) of PR leads you receive, or in the quality of Meghan and her team’s advice.

OFD Consulting has been an incredible partner—smart, strategic, and always looking out for opportunities to elevate our brand in the wedding industry. Led by founder Meghan Ely, the team brings strong connections, thoughtful guidance, and genuine care that make a real difference for their clients. I can’t recommend Meghan and OFD Consulting enough as both a PR agency and a resource for professional growth.

The best PR around for wedding pros. I think everyone who is serious about being a full-time wedding pro should sign up for at least the editorial track with OFD. you pay for baseline support, education, and a career bump, and what you get is an abundance of information to take in, experts who don’t just know what they’re talking about but know who to talk to (which is the key), and an all-around uplifting of your career, especially the more effort you put into getting as much as you can out of it. Put differently, you get so much more out of the membership than the services exchanged on paper. It’s SO worth it. They’re more than generous with their time, but efficient and streamline everything because they know how busy we all are as well. They do everything so smart. SO SMART. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOREVER.

Meghan Ely and her team have been a guiding light for us as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the wedding industry. They have provided us with opportunities that we could not have imagined, making sure our voice is heard and our work is seen. We have been a client for many years now and can attest that OFD is a PR firm that cares deeply about their clients, offers highly valuable education and connects wedding professionals with one another. We couldn’t be more grateful for the exemplary work the OFD team does for us!

I have worked with Meghan Ely and OFD Consulting for TEN years now. If the longevity alone doesn’t say enough about the quality of OFD’s services, then allow me to elaborate: Participating in the press opportunities through the OFD Collective was a game-changer for my event planning business — it allowed me to grow as a brand, become a thought leader in the wedding industry, and position myself as an educator in the field. And for the last 3 years, being in the Collective has helped my law firm grow in similar ways, with both the quality and quantity of weekly press opportunities.

I can’t recommend the OFD team enough! I first heard about them through a number of my wedding photographer friends who used them and were having great success. I have done both their editorial and submissions track, and the ROI has been absolutely incredible. Getting these publications not only provides more website traffic but also establishes you as an expert in your field. They are incredibly responsive and honestly such a fun team to work with. If you are someone who hates submitting weddings for publications yourself, this is the best time saver for your business. We chatted about my publication goals for each wedding, and then they curate the submission gallery themselves, gather information from the couple and all vendors, and submit the wedding on my behalf. They save me so much time, and then I just get an email back if the submission was accepted and when the publication date will be. If you are looking to get more press and publications, 100% book OFD Collective.

Meghan and the OFD Consulting team have been nothing short of incredible! After stepping away from the industry for a couple of years to focus on being a mom, I needed a way to get my name back out there—and OFD made that process so seamless. Through their platform, I’ve received amazing press opportunities, including a recent feature in Bridal Guide Magazine!
What I really appreciate is that there are no gimmicks, no playing favorites, and no gatekeeping—it’s a straightforward subscription-based service that delivers real value. I’ve been genuinely happy with my experience, and whenever someone asks if they should sign up, my answer is always yes!

Working with OFD Consulting over the past 10+ years has been a positive and beneficial experience for my business, Paisley & Jade. Thanks to the team at OFD, we have been featured in numerous prestigious press outlets, and the resources provided within the Collective help us continually hone our PR skills. If those resources weren’t enough, OFD regularly has webinars on timely and important topics, and office hours where we can have our business-specific situations addressed – and the advice is always spot on! I would highly recommend working with Meghan and her team!

When I first found OFD, I was super skeptical because it seemed too good to be true. We’ve all heard about the PR agencies that make promises and can’t deliver or don’t have the connections they boast. But working with them for the last year has been absolutely spectacular. They were always on top of submissions, always keeping me updated with what was going on, always giving me the opportunity to learn more and expand if I wanted to, there were always great PR opportunities basically hand delivered to my inbox every day. The feedback they gave was always so kind and helpful. Right from the beginning, they were invested in what my goals were and helped me get there the whole way through.
