Attn: Wedding Vendors … Awesome Contest: Free Online Marketing!

Wedding Contest Drawing ContestMy 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’m holding a simple/fun drawing where I’m offering up my online marketing services to the lucky winners of the drawing.

Let’s look at what’s up for grabs:

Grand Prize: A Complete Online Marketing Package! (Valued at over $2,300!)

Runner Up Prizes:

There will be 8 runner up prizes awarded … one each of the prizes listed in the Grand Prize Package … and I will award them in the order that I draw and in the order they are listed above. Make sense?

Hope I win the online marketing package for wedding vendors from @theweddingsite http://ow.ly/7P0iL You should enter too #tdws

I just started out in the wedding photography business and am really trying to get my name out there. I am the owner and operator of http://www.kimsue.com, design and photography, LLC. I had assisted and second shot in many weddings before being asked to shoot a few by myself for a few good friends who were all absolutely thrilled with the results. But mostly, I was a concert photographer. It wasn’t until I started checking out the market for my own (hopefully eventual) wedding that I realized just how much photographers charge. It was insane to me the cost of an average wedding. Why not cater to those who are just like me, a crafty, smart, almost-average income, business savy woman trying to make it on her own.
As a small business owner (and a DIY bride, eventually)who is struggling in an already tough economy, I truly believe the budget bride is the bride of the future. Who wants to spend the cost of a down payment on a house, on a wedding? On just one day? DIY, Homegrown weddings are becoming more and more popular. That’s why I started ~ [I do!]w/kimsue! ~ wedding photography for even the most budgeted bride~ Now, I just need to advertise! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Cheers,
Kim

Something Borrowed NY is the premiere online wedding shop that RENTS designer bridal accessories at a fraction of the retail price! We know that after your wedding there is really no use for your tiara (unless you’re Kate Middleton), and that most of us don’t have the space to store yards of tulle and crystal baubles. We’re modern women who love fashion and aspire to wear gorgeous things on our special day. But we don’t necessarily value the possession of a one-time wear item.

I am photographer|owner|operator of Suzetta Anne Photography | (destination) Wedding, Boudoir & Portrait. I started photographing “a bride” and doing lifestyle type portraits http://on.fb.me/rG6vyU in the mid 60′s. I would dress my sister up as a bride, have two of my brothers act as groomsmen (really just space fillers) and then photograph for as long as I could convince them to let me. I wanted to tell her story, her way and at the same time capture that fairytale dream come true. It didn’t matter where or how big or small the event because it was her story, not mine. I believe we all have unique Cinderella & Prince fantasies of what we want our fairytale story to be and how we want it told. My clients enjoy the memories of their event captured and told their way, their own unique story.

Hello everyone! My name is Masha Lezhen and I am the owner and designer of Delezhen, my handmade jewelry line. I’ve always had an affinity for good design, and I was inspired to create beautiful designs myself. I’ve been making jewelry for about a decade now and I’ve been sharing my creations for about a year on Etsy. I love working with excited bridal parties as I share in their enthusiasm by customizing pieces to their liking. Here is a link to my shop if you’d like to see my work:

Hello! This is so exciting! Thank you for inviting us all to take part in such a generous draw, i’m sure everyone is crossing everything in the hopes of winning!

I’m a wedding photographer from the North West of England and love romance & fairytale endings <3 My photography is whimsical and delicious, and I am doing my first DESTINATION WEDDING IN PARIS in two weeks time!! I have a base in Paris and a base in Lusaka, Zambia, for any brides jetting off to Africa that would like a friendly, fun, reliable wedding photographer who can speak English, but am absolutely willing to go further afield :)

{Thank you Suzanne for conjuring up this contest, i'm glad you're doing a draw, makes it nice and honest and not a popularity contest! x}

Just for fun you can see lots of portraits & styled bridal shoots on my blog – http://joanne-spencer.blogspot.com/

Wash away the bridal stress on a honeymoon in warm tropical waters or cruise anywhere worldwide on a small to large yacht selected just for you, the newlyweds! I roam the world (and my backyard) to see yachts and meet the crews that can host an amazing custom tailored private charter honeymoon for nearly all budget!

I grew up in the wedding biz, I hung out in the family bridal salon until I eventually managed the salon until my mom retired and we closed the salon. (33.5years!!) I think if it could be done in bridal, I’ve done it….from sewing, altering, designing, coordinating fashion shows, selling, buying, seminars, pressing and steaming dresses, wedding planning…..you name it, I’ve done it at one time or other!

I now am opening up on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Weddingzilla, designing and making wedding accessories that are not in the conventional wedding market. I have so many projects going its going to take me a year to get them on Etsy.

I also blog at : Weddingzilla.blogspot.com and Weddingzillas.com and have two websites: beachbridetobe.com and Weddingloco.com, a wedding planning website.

I am @Weddingzillas on Twitter. I am Rose Trifero Giffen on Facebook. Feel free to add me!
