About The Wedding Industry Journal

Our Strategy – Our strategic focus is on UK wedding businesses; suppliers and venues represented in all areas and categories in the wedding professional sector.

We combine our knowledge and experience in the wedding industry with other passionate contributors; new, and established, who have valuable information to share. We are constantly looking for new and innovative contributors, forward thinking commercial partners and service providers with a variety of options for our readers.

The Wedding Industry Journal is the First and Only UK based industry platform, dedicated entirely to Wedding Business owners and the Business of Weddings- not couples.

Our Mission – To create a neutral free-to-read media platform for those working in and on UK weddings. A place to be informed, educated and inspired whilst feeling supported and connected.

We are growing a thought-provoking, supportive and informative media platform for our readers, consumers, commercial partners, our contributors and guest writers. We continue to innervate and research what our sector needs right now and for future growth.

Our Purpose – Until now, the Wedding Industry has felt like a somewhat disconnected place for those who work within it. Now, more than ever, we need to feel valued, recognised and supported, to take us forward.

In short; Specific Industry News, Training & Development, Business Resources and Professional Services can be hard to find all in one place.

Here is your go-to destination for all of this and more.

We have the support and alliance of the Industries Associations, groups, experts, communities and individuals (for which we are grateful) to create a non-biased brand platform to represent all voices.

With so much noise and ever more complex algorithms to compete with, promoting courses, webinars and educational resources for fellow professionals can be tough. The solution? Do it here. The Journal is a place where you can find and advertise the courses, memberships, summits, books and events that matter to you in our Training Directory.

As much as many of us love what we do, running any business comes with a responsibility to handle your affairs professionally. Whether you need legal support, an accountant, copywriter, a shop fitter, website designer, social media manager, SEO expert or any other service provider, our Business Service Directory is there to help you find the one that’s right for you. If you, your family or friends, have any of these skills and trades then the Business Directory is where people can find you easily. Look HERE to get listed.

If you have something to share and need a place to voice it then do get in touch HERE
