We’ve been lucky enough to get quite a bit of coverage over here in WeddingDates.ie and we are delighted each time we get a piece of media attention!
2 weeks ago we got the WeddingDates.ie plug in twice on the Ray D’arcy show on Today FM, on Monday Conor Pope the consumer watchdog, was asked a question about wedding deposits by a bride-to-be who was worried about her hotel closing down and the high deposit they wanted from her upfront. I quickly sent in an email to the show stating that the typical deposit required to hold a date was €1,000 and that the girl in question should make sure she talked to the hotel to make sure that she was getting a fair price and she was comfortable with the payment procedure.
The very next day, I got through to the infamous Odd-One-Out Quiz and chatted to Ray live on air!! He remembered me from when we both participated in the Spencer Tunick photo shoot last year in Blarney and I had also met him at the Rose of Tralee. He mentioned WeddingDates.ie and of course I got a few plugs in myself! I managed to answer 10 questions in the quiz and scored myself an O’Neills odd-one-out hoodie!! It arrived last week – in pink!!
After the success of the launch party, we had a 2 page spread on the Evening Echo Social Diary with a lovely write up by Elaine Duggan and lots of fantastic photos which were taken by the Echo photographer Darragh Kane on the night. If you want to read the article, or check out the pics of some of our glamourous guests then you can download the pdf here.
The press release was also picked up by the Cork Independant with a photo of our “Bride and Groom” and RED from the Marvels taking centre stage.

We still have loads more quirky PR stunts up our sleeves, so keep a close eye on the local and national media for more mentions of WeddingDates.ie and of course snaps of me in THE dress!
