Meghan Ely's Clients Featured in Top Publications: From The New York Times to Martha Stewart Weddings


When it comes to visibility in the wedding industry, few names command the same respect and results as Meghan Ely, Founder and President of OFD Consulting. With over 15 years of experience, Ely has transformed the way wedding professionals approach publicity, helping them tell compelling stories that earn national attention. Through her boutique PR agency, she has consistently placed her clients in some of the most prestigious media outlets in the world, including The New York Times, Brides, People, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Architectural Digest.
This track record isn’t by chance—it’s the result of Meghan’s deep understanding of both media trends and the unique challenges facing wedding and event creatives. Whether working with planners, florists, photographers, or venues, Meghan Ely and her team specialize in crafting tailored pitches that align with editorial calendars, trending topics, and the authentic voice of each client.
“It’s never just about getting press—it’s about getting the right press,” Ely often says. “We’re not looking for one-off wins. We’re helping creatives build long-term visibility that supports their brand and business goals.”
From Boutique Firms to Global Brands
Ely’s clients span the spectrum—from boutique firms to nationally recognized brands—and each benefits from OFD Consulting’s strategic approach. The agency has secured high-impact coverage in Bridal Guide, Style Me Pretty, Southern Weddings, and Destination I Do, helping clients expand their authority in their respective niches.
In an industry where consumer trust is often built through third-party validation, being published in an iconic outlet like The New York Times or Martha Stewart Weddings can instantly elevate a business’s reputation. Ely’s work not only opens these doors but ensures her clients are media-ready, offering media training, copywriting support, and crisis PR strategies as needed.
An Advocate for Storytelling in the Wedding Industry
What sets Meghan Ely apart is her commitment to authentic storytelling. She helps her clients find and refine the human element in their brand, whether it’s a couple’s moving love story, an entrepreneur’s path to success, or a creative solution to a major planning challenge. This results in features that resonate with both journalists and audiences.
Ely’s belief in meaningful visibility is evident in the creation of the OFD Collective, a PR membership platform for wedding pros seeking consistent media exposure. Through the Collective, clients access editorial opportunities, curated resources, and a supportive network—all underpinned by Ely’s expert guidance.

Meghan Ely’s influence extends far beyond media placements. She is a past national president of WIPA, serves on the Allied Council for the National Society of Black Wedding and Event Professionals, and is a member of the National Nominations Committee for NACE.
