Currently operating in four geographic regions servicing 21 states, Your Local Wedding Directories have quickly become a favorite to brides and vendors alike. The ease of the website navigation allows brides to search based on their local venue rather than focusing on a nation-wide search. They are then able to search by category, covering every potential need: a venue, flowers, photographers, dresses and even for events leading up to the big day such as rehearsal dinners.

“Current wedding directory websites offer millions of vendor options for brides, unfortunately their national scale does not allow brides to easily search for vendors in their chosen location,” says Your Local Wedding Directory CEO, Barbara Weller. “Often times brides will find a vendor they love, only to find out they will not service their chosen wedding venue. By offering geographically specific directories, we are minimizing this disappointing situation for brides, and creating a more functional planning experience.”

The local focus of the directories allows for vendors to realize a higher return on their investment as they are not forced to compete against national brands. On the old guard national wedding websites, local vendors are not only lost in endless lists, but they cannot compete against the advertising spend of the big budget names. Vendors are able to be noticed for their service rather than their advertising. Brides benefit from a more authentic interaction and are able to connect directly with each vendor.
