Wedding Planning Just got Easier

Golden Triangle Weddings, www.GoldenTriangleWeddings.com is the region's most popular online wedding website serving the communities within Waterloo, Wellington, Perth, Brant, and Oxford regions and is pleased to unveil their new website and tools designed to make wedding planning easier.

Today's brides are busier than ever, juggling a full time job, wedding planning, as well as family and other responsibilities. Family and friends are taking less and less of a role in the wedding planning and it often falls mostly or completely on the bride's shoulders at a time where she has many stress factors such as buying a new home or working long hours to help advance her career. This trend is why we have seen a surge in the wedding planner industry and what allowed for reality TV shows like “Bridezillas”; planning a wedding is simply too much for the average person to do all on their own.

www.GoldenTriangleWeddings.com was founded in 1998 to help local area brides plan their weddings. It has grown significantly during that time and it is remains the most visited wedding website in the area with 4,000 visitors per month and an 80% growth year over year. In 2004 Jacqueline and Maurice Girard took over ownership of the site and set high expectations to meet the needs of today's busy couples. Under their ownership, they have introduced a complimentary print magazine to the website and local wedding events.

“Our focus has been to help local couples plan their weddings,” says Jacqueline Girard. Most wedding resources are designed more for the vendors in mind, however we recognize that it is crucial to treasure the wedding consumer audience. We offer worksheets to help in the planning and we have just unveiled new tools on our website to assist with budgeting and scheduling, all while keeping it fun and stress-free.” To ensure that the site offers it all in one place, Golden Triangle Weddings has recently began offering a free reciprocal link program to ensure that all wedding vendors are represented in one place. Currently brides may have to visit multiple websites to see the true depth of vendors, now there is a place where couples can find it all in one place. The previous site focused on vendor reviews, however brides indicated they wanted to see more snapshot information with full contact information and a brief description rather than an intensive review. For local couples, having selection is key and the site meets this need.

To further simplify the wedding planning process, the new site features a request-a-quote feature which allows couples to enter their information and choose which services, such as photography, cakes, flowers and so on they have yet to book. Rather than have to approach multiple wedding service providers themselves which takes considerable time, they will receive up to five quotes from trusted Golden Triangle Wedding vendors. It makes the entire sourcing process quick and easy and encapsulates Golden Triangle Weddings' commitment to their customers.
