Atlanta Wedding Info was a promoter for Magical Moments "Elegant Bridal Event". Arba Tucker, owner of AWI, was very supportive and knowledgeable on effective ways of promoting my event to be successful. Her quick thinking took my event from having no registered guests to over 50 within 2 days as well as trained me on numerous ways of improving my future events. AWI is a company which has many resources to assist your business from promoting to building your Website. Arba was available to me in my time of need and very affordable. The personal attention and the knowledge I gained, made me feel like I was her only client/student. It has been a Blessing working with AWI and I look forward to our businesses growing to reach Sky's The Limits.

Arba,
Congratulations on your new adventure with AWI. I think it is AWESOME that you were able to let go of your personal desires and follow God’s plan. I was intrigued by your message...thank you!
The real key to marriage is not having the most beautiful dress or exotic flowers on your wedding day; but having God in the center of your marriage every step of the way. I was grateful to see your message and have a new admiration for AWI - not the typical wedding publication! I will definitely turn to AWI to seek my wedding information. Thank you!

Keep up the good work! It's challenging for most of us, but God is greater. A fav. scripture of mine is Luke 1:45. Enjoy! And I plan on advertising with you VERY soon! Take care.

Thank you Arba, for your magazine and now the web advertising. You have been extremely helpful for the last 5 years. The support, encouragement and personal attention has benefitted A Visual Image Photography very much. It is rare when you have a vendor that you can account as a friend as well. Your attention to details and the energy put into the effort is indeed impressive. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sending out Atlanta Wedding Info. It really keeps me well informed and it keeps me abreast of what's happening in the wedding business. Additionally, I really have enjoyed participating in some of the wedding shows your company hosted and they have proven to work in my favor. I have booked brides galore for not only weddings but for wedding favors as well. I always direct newcomers to your website for wedding events, post cards, pamphlets, business cards, etc. for all of their printing needs. I am looking forward to working with you in the near future. Please be encouraged and continue doing what you do best. God Bless you and yours.

Lillian's of New York Caterers and Personal Chef
Lillian O. Blackwell
I have been a fan of this magazine for almost as long as you have had the publication. I find this magazine to be most helpful to brides and vendors and just on lookers alike. This little booklet cuts through a lot of unnecessary fillers the larger magazines have. Thank you for your insight to this vast industry and keep up the good work.

great place to advertise your wedding services

If you are looking for a good place to advertise your wedding related product or service, AWI is the way to go. A nice glossy digest sized publication. AWI will even provide its advertisers with leads in Excel format for free! They will also keep you informed of wedding shows and networking events in your area of interest. Of course, there are no guarantees in advertising, but Arba Tucker definitely goes the extra mile to help you promote your business. |

Voices of Faith Wedding Ministry (8/20/05)
Mikki D. Asberry, 2005 Vendor Chairperson, 404-242-5143
WOW! Vendors are STILL signing up! Voices of Faith's Wedding Ministries Bridal Expo will never be the same, Thanks to Atlanta Wedding Ideas!
We spoke with Arba and her team to gain more marketing tactics to increase our 2005 Vendor participation and it worked! AWI proved that marketing your event through Atlanta Wedding Ideas, and atlantaweddingideas.com ensures exposure in the community as well as long-standing relationships to outstanding business owners within the Atlanta Wedding Industry.
Arba, at Voices of Faith, we're known for saying, "It's a Family Affair, Come and See Why". We want to thank you for extending your insight and expertise, and we consider you and your team a very important part of our family!

My Special Events
Georgette Lake 678-935-0264 I can't start to thank Arba for all her wisdom and help with my new business. I was told to get in touch with her from a fellow networker and boy she put me in touch with a Godsend! I have worked in Sales and Marketing and most of the people in this business would hardly give you the time of day when it came to doing an ad. Arba goes beyond helping you with an ad, she helps your company find it's vision in making the ad appealing. Arba has not only helped me with my ad, she has been there for me via email or phone at anytime to answer any questions I have had or to help me solve a problem with my website. She even helped me come up with a way to incorporate my candle business with my Wedding Planning. I am new to advertising in Atlanta Wedding Ideas and I am sure that I will see a great turnout from it. You must attend an AWI networking meeting to meet Arba personally and you will see what I mean. She tells it like it is, but has a warm spirit and high energy. I recommend anyone looking to not only run an ad but to get a sense of this market and a way to make your ad appealing to this market to call Arba. It has been a joy to work with her and I look forward to working with her more in the future and getting her advice.

The Atrium On "Sweet" Auburn
Ruby Wilson 404-524-7921 My firm started advertising with Atlanta Wedding Ideas (AWI) in December of 2004. During that time, I have more than "doubled" the previous year's inquiries and event bookings! Not only has my clientele increased tremendously, but the AWI team assisted me with the updating and beautification of our website and consistently provides me with invaluable marketing leads. I maintain a steady flow and distribution of the monthly magazines, and highly recommend the AWI magazine to all of my potential brides to ensure the positive outcome of their upcoming nuptial planning. Thanks Atlanta Wedding Ideas for your assistance in a successful marketing year.

Weddings and More
E. Darlene Treadwell 770-921-1517 I have a Wedding and Party Planning home-based business I started after my recent retirement. I always had an interest and years of experience doing it for my family, neighbors, friends and companies I worked for. Advertising in Atlanta Wedding Ideas has made all the difference in the growth of my business. I met Arba Tucker in June of 2003 and advertised in my first issue in August 2003. In 2003 I had one wedding and one birthday party. In less than one year I made great, meaningful contacts, took part in wedding related activities, seminars, expos, networking organizations and meetings that would have taken me many years to develop. As an advertiser, I was exposed to and had access to vendors and people in the wedding industry that I would not have automatically crossed paths with. I had first-hand knowledge of upcoming bridal events and shows, and was offered reduced rates from just being an advertiser in AWI. Most of these events I could never have afforded to participate in, being a new, home-based business. I found power associating and advertising in AWI and their "right connections." In 2004 I had 4 weddings, 2 birthday parties, coordinated and assisted in 3 bridal shows. I was written up and did articles in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution 2 times. I also enjoyed writing articles in Atlanta Wedding Ideas during 2004. Already by January 2005 of this year, I had BOOKED every month, a wedding or a birthday party for the entire year of 2005 and in June, August and September I have 2 each month! I have prospects and 2 official bookings so far for June 2006. I am a happy camper. Advertising in Atlanta Wedding Ideas and personally meeting and working with the publisher and owner, Arba Tucker, was the wisest business decision I have ever made.
