Offbeat Wed is an industry platform for wedding and event vendors who care about inclusivity. (Yeah, we used to be Offbeat Bride.)

Are you dealing with overly controlling parents?

I spoke to a journalist who wants to interview couples whose parents or in-laws have offered to pay for some of the wedding but in exchange, are being VERY insistent on getting their way. (For example, a mother-in-law insisting on inviting her entire friend group or a father pushing a fancy venue that doesn’t suit your low-key tastes.) She said "Obviously all anecdotes can stay anonymous!"

Wedding vendors spend so much time talking about how well they see their clients... but when was the last time YOU felt truly seen?

The 1:1 consulting sessions I do with Offbeat Wed vendor members are designed for exactly that. I review your website and messaging, tell you what your brand is currently communicating (not just what you meant to say, but what a stranger actually reads), and we figure out together what to sharpen.

Every new and renewing vendor membership includes a free session. Lemme know if you've got questions, or DM me if you want in.
