About the agency
OFD Consulting is a public relations practice exclusively serving wedding professionals and the special-events industry. Founder Meghan Ely launched the business in spring 2009 after working within the wedding industry and identifying a gap in publicity expertise for venue owners, planners, caterers, florists and related companies. The firm applies direct knowledge of wedding businesses to both editorial promotion and industry-facing authority building.
The company's official history records an important 2019 change: it narrowed retained PR representation toward business-to-business industry press and speaking engagements for event professionals. OFD also established Wedding Industry Speakers, a resource for conference organizers, and OFD Collective, a training and opportunity membership intended to help smaller wedding businesses pursue consumer press and real-wedding features themselves.
The team books interviews, pitches print and digital media, plans speaking appearances and advises wedding professionals on strategic visibility. Its current site says it has more than 17 years' industry experience; that duration is company-reported and is consistent with the published spring 2009 start. The distinction between its premium B2B retainers and OFD Collective membership matters for clients comparing publicity options.
