BeMyBride was launched in 2006 after discovering that current wedding directories did not deliver fully comprehensive listings for a particular area. The directory was initiated in Cambridge and it's surrounding areas and listed wedding suppliers that were based within these specific areas. This allowed couples getting married the opportunity to find and contact suppliers that were available and importantly local to the area they were getting married in.

Due to the success of BeMyBride in Cambridge and because of the contact we receive from suppliers in other areas who wish to advertise their products, BeMyBride has expanded its format to cover; Bedford, Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and Peterborough. The directory remains in the same format which delivers fully comprehensive listings

We know that the internet is a great place to start when searching for particular suppliers and it is also a wonderful tool for advertising your company and will reach a very large number of clients rapidly. However, the internet is a vast and cold place and it is important that clients can find you and find you quickly! BeMyBride is highly ranked in search engines and will drive potential clients to your advert via a clean, quick and well defined site.

BeMyBride stands out because we offer a fully comprehensive website for a specific area and we drive people to our site from a variety of advertising mediums. We also offer couples the chance to take advantage of supplier's special offers and view up to date listings of wedding fairs in the area.

By attending wedding fairs we get to speak to many Couples and they tell us that stumbling upon incomplete suppliers listings for their local area was incredibly frustrating. Couples would like more choice when they are planning their wedding and BeMyBride delivers this by being fully comprehensive.
