Magazine Media Partnership
The Big Fake Wedding aims to promote small businesses, to inspire brides and to encourage solid marriages, and as we move into new cities, we are looking to partner with local magazines that will help us accomplish these goals.
A Big Fake Wedding Magazine Media Partner receives:
- the opportunity to hand out magazines at the event in “The Tunnel of Love”. During the reception portion of the evening, we open “The Tunnel of Love” as a way for guests to meet participating vendors and to collect goodies and marketing collateral. Media partners are provided with a table as well if they wish to offer a raffle or giveaway or to display any marketing materials.
- an invitation to The Cocktail Hour, a networking event we host that gives participating vendors a chance to meet one another before the event.
- branding on TheBigFakeWedding.com. We will include your logo link on our website as well as offering support via our social media outlets.
- tickets to the event (hey, free dinner and dancing)!
A Big Fake Wedding Magazine Media Partner provides:
- an ad for The Big Fake Wedding in the publication leading up to the event.
- advertising support via their blog, Facebook and/or Twitter.
- editorial consideration for the photos from the event for a possible feature in the publication following the event.
- suggestions for venues and vendors in the city that might be a good fit for The Big Fake Wedding (we would love to include your advertisers whenever possible!)
Sweet Words
“For any special event/wedding related media, it’s a constant race to find the brightest talent and freshest content to share with readers. It was my experience with The Big Fake Wedding to find both of those things each year that I had the opportunity to work with Callie and Michal. Not only could I sigh a breath of editorial relief, but the character and quality of leadership and participants at The Big Fake Wedding consistently exceeded my expectations. Five stars for The Big Fake Wedding!” – Callie Rogers, former editor-in-chief of Occasions Magazine
