ABOUT US

The award winning WEDDING & RECEPTION SERVICES MAGAZINE was the first professionally produced local bridal publication for Volusia County, Florida beginning in 1993. Later the magazine developed into four distinct editions throughout North / Northeast Florida markets.

MYBRIDALMAGAZINE is the online presence that was created to take the printed version of these publications and recreate them as the first, complete and comprehensive, interactive online bridal publications in the state of Florida focusing exclusively on individual local business communities.

By merging the power of the internet with the power and prestige of local print advertising MYBRIDALMAGAZINE has begun to exceed the benefits of its hard copy predecessor by offering a beautiful online interactive bridal magazine with a wider range of tech savvy capabilities, a more saturated distribution, and a more desirable cost factor to local businesses.

MYBRIDALMAGAZINE combines multiple advertising products into one collective service. In addition to the online publication, MYBRIDALMAGAZINE also includes MYBRIDALCONNECTION.COM and FIND IT! FOR BRIDES.COM, which also includes its companion, printed buyer’s guide!

MYBRIDALCONNECTION.COM has been around since 2002. The web site initially acted as a promotional company for some of the finest bridal shows produced in North East Florida. Since, it has evolved into an online bridal planning web site offering brides a comfortable and easy experience when planning for their special day. The web site remains the promotional arm of one of the largest and most spectacular bridal shows in the state of Florida to this day.

FIND IT! FOR BRIDES is an Internet based wedding planning presence that brings together bridal couples and wedding professionals through a cutting-edge, fun-filled, online experience that includes both an internet site and printed buyer’s guide.

All services coalesce by providing a unique online shopping and planning experience for brides and an incredible, efficient, and profitable marketing solution for wedding professionals.

Key Players
Greg Sessions, founder and publisher of Wedding & Reception Services Magazine, and Wedding Services Online Magazine, founder of FIND IT! FOR BRIDES and MYBRIDALMAGAZINE.COM, and co-founder of MYBRIDALCONNECTION.COM, has been in business since 1990.

Several years after graduating from Florida State University where he studied economics, Mr. Sessions started a small computer graphics and design agency out of his home.

In 1993 while recovering from a serious debilitating medical injury, he moved to the Daytona Beach area and launched his first wedding magazine. Soon thereafter he married his wife, Gabriele, who then joined him in the business where they collectively began to branch out into other markets and duplicate the printed magazine’s initial successes.

Publishing Partners
FIND IT! FOR BRIDES.com has a companion publication/buyer’s guide that is distributed twice annually into their respective markets.

Wedding Services Online Magazine published separate editions of the award winning throughout the Florida area. Requests routinely come from businesses in and outside the state of Florida asking if our office could bring the magazine to their communities. Wedding Services Online Magazine is commonly recognized as a first-class, upscale, interactive local bridal magazine; promoting the leading local professionals and published exclusively for each particular area or market they are in.

There is very little duplication between distinct markets/editions. Each region has its own identity thus the magazine thoroughly customizes every edition for each corresponding market. The complete and detailed information exclusively produced for the respective areas, coupled with an award-winning style and outstanding look and feel, creates an invaluable tool that local businesses and brides find irresistible.

Promotional Partners
Wedding Services Online Magazine and MyBridalConnection.com have built a reputation of producing some of the finest wedding related events and bridal shows in the North / Northeast Florida area. The signature bridal show is produced at the world-renowned Renaissance Resort inside World Golf Village just outside of Jacksonville, Florida, where as many as 100 leading wedding professionals participate each year, and up to 500-600 brides attend regularly.

This show regularly offers more than most. These events provide the larger, full-sized, 10 x 10 pipe & draped booths, the finest upscale on-stage fashion production, special effects, and a consistent and professional overall presentation at every level. There are regional and national guests appearances, elaborate décor throughout, and an authentic casino lounge to disburse the door prizes. World-famous honeymoon giveaways, and much, much more take place at every show. It is the overwhelming tendency for these shows to be the largest each year with respect to bride and vendor participation alike.

The shows produced continue to be the area’s top bridal events by which standard all other area shows are measured!

The Focus is on Small Business...
Businesses in all corresponding markets have benefited through the efforts of Greg and Gabriele Sessions and their employees. Although both large and small corporations are part of their clientele, the focus has primarily been to develop a grass roots foundation to support local businessmen and businesswomen by promoting small business ideals, developing effective local marketing strategies, maintaining high ethical standards, and providing clients with networking and educational opportunities.

This has been established, in part, by the professional networking organizations Greg Sessions has helped to establish. These professional business associations are operating and successful to this day, each raising the bar and lending support to the small business community in each of their respective markets

...And Helping Local Brides
The dynamics in today’s marketplace are changing. “It is not your mother’s wedding anymore� as some have been heard to say. What worked ten and even five years ago is no longer applicable. What works in one particular market may not be fashionable or practical in another.

Brides are evolving more and more into Internet savvy shoppers and they desire resources and information about their local communities that compliment their changing tastes and lifestyles. FIND IT! FOR BRIDES, MYBRIDALCONNECTION.COM, and now MYBRIDALMAGAZINE.COM, along with the accompanying bridal shows, provide customized tools, connections, and information for today’s discriminating brides.

This documented achievement has been accomplished without overlooking the traditions and the true value behind the institution of marriage. Through the diverse group of services Greg and Gabriele Sessions provide, they are careful to let every bride know each step of the way that their wedding is much more than throwing a big party. Greg and Gabriele feel complete success for all of their brides is key and by encouraging balance in these young ladies and letting them know the relationship with their future husband is the primary focus rather than the event!
