Guides For Brides - Wantage

Samantha V.

We have advertised with and listed our business through Guides for Brides for the last10 years. Its the only wedding website and directory we do so. The team are lovely, extremely professional, and, unlike some of the other wedding directory, their content is 100% authentic. We couldn't have had the success we have had with our business without Guides for Brides. Their wedding fairs in particular have been great for us to get bookings. Their customer service awards are genuine and authentic, and, unlike other wedding industry awards, are 100% based on real customer reviews. We are proud to have won the award for photography 2 times, and to have been finalists for 7 years in a row. We strongly recommend working with Guides for Brides; ask for John, the Sales Manager.

We've been working with Guides for Brides for events and exhibitions for the last two years and we must say that their organisation, client care, communication and attention to detail is outstanding. Every event is on point, they make the effort to give EVERY person their quality time and the help they need. Mail shots and texts contain all the information we need and are clear and easy to understand. They also lets us know of upcoming opportunities and introduce us to other people who would be great to network with, for their needs and ours.

Our fellow supplier network has grown hugely on a personal level, and on a professional level. We all recommend each other and help each other out and our work has boosted substantially as a result. We have also commissioned work from fellow suppliers as gifts to friends and family.

I was hesitant to exhibit at first as I wasn’t sure how our specific offering would work as we’re not the “traditional” type of wedding band, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The opportunities and exposure you get from working with Guides for Brides is excellent and the face to face interactions you get to have with clients and suppliers is invaluable. We have made over 5 times our initial investment over the last 2 years, and attended other non Guides for Brides wedding fairs, which haven’t come close.

We absolutely recommend working with Guides for Brides and we look forward to the upcoming wedding fair season!

A Must-Have Platform for Wedding Professionals

Guides for Brides has been an absolute game-changer for my business. Not only does it offer fantastic visibility to couples planning their weddings, but the real magic for me lies in the networking opportunities it creates within the wedding industry itself.

Through their carefully crafted events, I’ve connected with like-minded suppliers, built strong professional relationships, and even collaborated on styled shoots and real weddings, as well as becoming one of those coveted preferred suppliers to some of our better venues. The sense of community is genuine. Every member of Guides for Brides is there to help and where necessary, to advise and educate, because they care about this industry and fully understand that it’s about growing together. They are always looking for ways to help suppliers thrive.

Whether you’re just starting out or well-established, Guides for Brides opens doors to new opportunities and keeps you fully tuned into the pulse of the industry.

Highly recommended for any wedding professional who wants to be seen, heard, and connected.

I have been working with Guides for Brides for over 15 years and have found their services invaluable in terms of advertising my business. Amongst their many services, they hold some of the best wedding fairs in the area, which are great value for money and bring a good quality of potential customer through my door. John and the rest of the team are extremely friendly and helpful and are always at the end of a phone/email for any queries, and suggestions on how to improve their service to me. If you are thinking of setting up a new business in the bridal industry then advertising via Guides for Brides is a MUST!

We have been working with Guides for Brides for about 15 years now! We have used their website to link to prospective couples searching for decor companies and also to attend their wedding fairs.

We deal directly with John and he is amazing. He has always been a dream to work with, he understands our business and our client base. Working with John and the team has helped us gain new venues to become referred suppliers to and thus has helped us grow our business.

Their wedding fairs are always so well attended and I always find that leads from them follow through into confirmed bookings.

John always takes on board what we need to bring and makes sure , being a decor company , we allow for a space to showcase out items and in turn I always hear feedback from couples how pleased they are at the chance to see the decor on display!

All in all thank you to John and the team and here is to many many more years of working together!

We've had a great experience with Guides For Brides! We attended an event at Mulberry House and it was great to hear Nikita speaking about the next generation of couples and TikTok trends - super insightful and forward-thinking.

In my business, Eternity, we personally work with GuidesForBrides often and they've been one of our best partnerships. From the team, to the ideas, to their businesses - everyone has always been extremely engaged.

Would highly recommend!

Working with Katie at Guides for Brides has been an absolute pleasure. She is friendly, professional, and incredibly supportive—always just a call or email away when we need her.

One of the key challenges we were facing was ensuring a steady flow of quality wedding enquiries and securing meaningful showrounds. Katie and the team really stepped in to help, offering valuable advice on how to optimise our listing and improve our visibility. Thanks to her guidance, we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in both the volume and quality of our leads.

Katie has also been instrumental in helping us grow our social media presence. With her support and advice, we’ve been able to reach a wider audience and have seen fantastic results from this increased exposure.

She genuinely understands the wedding industry and takes the time to get to know the venues she works with, which makes a real difference. Her enthusiasm and commitment to helping us succeed shine through in everything she does.

We truly value the partnership and look forward to continuing to work with her and the Guides for Brides team.
