Attn: Wedding Vendors … Awesome Contest: Free Online Marketing!
My name is Suzanne Franco Land and I’m the founder of “The Destination Wedding Site.”
I’m super excited to announce the first contest / drawing for wedding vendors here on The Destination Wedding Site. This contest is really more of a drawing because I like it when everyone has an equal chance of winning … don’t you?
So what’s the deal? Well, in addition to running this website I’m also an online marketing and SEO (search engine optimization) expert. And … in the spirit of doing some networking and promoting the site to wedding vendors I’m offering some amazing prizes up for grabs.

I am Kitty Kanzashi and I design and make Japanese inspired hair accessories. All my pieces are made using a textile technique called tsumami where I fold squares of fabric to make petals. These are then used to make flowers which I use in all of my accessories.
I love making my kanzashi and there is nothing better then making a piece of accessory that will adorn a bride’s (or anyone in the wedding party) outfit.

I am just beginning to teach myself about SEO, marketing, blogging w/affiliate marketing and creating a web page. I am slow at this and I can sure use this package for my business of, Teas, Oolongs, Black, White, Green and others. I can do Tea Parties. I grow my own medicinal herbs and culinary herbs also. I make my own creams, lotions, balms, bath teas and salts. I think this is a wide area and I need to slim it down as to what I want to market and sell. My daughter is a wedding photographer and we help each other. I loved the name and it does take bees to create whatever it is we love to grow. Pamela

We are Wedding Prose, the pros who write for weddings.

We guarantee that our couples will feel as if they wrote every word of our work themselves, except that they know they couldn’t have said it that well themselves. We offer everything from a simple vows writing service to a complete wedding package that includes inivitations, a website, toasts, the entire wedding ceremony, and much more.

Thank you!
After 5 years in the retail floral industry, we launched our freelance wedding flowers business serving the Vancouver lower mainland and the Fraser Valley Area in British Columbia, Canada. We do bridal bouquets and all floral decorations for weddings and corporate events.
Glad to be here introducing imageXperience™ and our professional wedding photography. You may have seen my husband, children and I on TV last year following our life test drive in Jamaica, where we launched our destination wedding photography at Rose Hall Hilton in Montego Bay.
We are a British family with Jamaican parentage and we were born and live in the UK. In 2010 I decided that it made sense to not only photograph destination weddings in Jamaica, but to also photograph UK weddings, which saw the launch of Denise Ebanks Weddings, which ironically took us to Spain to cover a destination wedding blessing, following the couple’s UK wedding.
Wedding photography for me is far more than simply capturing the images on the day, we want to add to your wedding day experience.
We consider ourselves blessed to do what we do and really appreciate it.
Enjoy and be connected!
