Our goal is to fully explore the wedding-planning process and feature the many aspects couples face throughout their engagement, highlighting real issues with real ideas and solutions—some serious, many entertaining, all useful—packaged neatly in a balanced and engaging newsletter format.
Simply put, our automatic online newsletter method is a time-and money-saving service for wedding industry professionals. We aim to help you grow your business organically (with just the right mix of information) by promoting and presenting indispensable digital material that brides will like and trust.
Whether you have questions regarding our subscription services or custom projects, we are here to help lift your business to the next level. The Wedding Newsletter is made up of a tight-knit group of individuals, who are there to pick up the phone, answer e-mails and see your project through, beginning to end.
Our Toast to You is that you will effortlessly sit back, relax and look at your business with optimism, enjoying increased profits, more time to work with your clients, and peace of mind knowing you are strengthening the foundation of your company for future growth and profitability.
Cheers!
