ENGAGED WEDDING LIBRARY
Nashville
Proudly representing Nashville’s Best Wedding Vendors
Now Accepting Partnership Applications
Engaged offers Nashville’s only multi-channel marketing system to address the challenges faced by local vendors. Our partnership program gives vendors the chance to connect with more qualified brides, stand out in a saturated market, and be part of an exclusive group of amazing Nashville vendors.
Meet your Engaged Sales Team
We consider ourselves cheerleaders, educated advocates, and an off-site sales team for our vendor partners. We learn as much as we can about each vendor including current pricing, packages, and a description of their ideal bride. This allows us to be effective matchmakers when we are connecting brides to our vendors.
ENGAGED VENDOR PERKS
01. Brides know our vendors are legit
Engaged vendor partners are added by invitation only and go through a vetting process. This is key to maintaining our reputation as a trusted source for brides to find qualified vendors. Brides know that we have already done the hard work so they trust us to match them to vendors. Once they experience the awesomeness of our vendor group, they become completely loyal to booking with Engaged vendors. (Brides also LOVE the vendor perks)
02. We get you directly in front of Brides
Engaged is not a “pay to play” website or publication that will allow any vendor to advertise. We want to partner with a limited number of local businesses and focus on helping them grow and book more of their ideal brides. This allows us to give our vendors the chance to stand out in the saturated sea of wedding vendors by being part of an exclusive group.
03. We offer multiple marketing channels
Our vendors are represented at the Library, have a full profile on EngagedNashville.com, get dedicated social media posts, and are featured in The Engaged Handbook, and can choose to participate in The Engaged Collective. This allows them to be seen in all the places where brides are looking while stretching valuable marketing dollars.
OUR MARKETING CHANNELS INCLUDE:
Our Robust Website
Our website is created to make a local wedding planning research a breeze. Brides can schedule an appointment with the Librarian, purchase her Library Membership, watch informative wedding planning videos, and swoon over our Real Engaged Weddings. The most popular part of our site is our Vendor Collection where brides can view and contact all of our vendor partners.
The In-Person Library
From our studio location near Music Row, the Librarian meets with new and returning brides every week. Brides are educated on wedding vendor costs, given an overview of the planning process, plugged into a system to keep their planning on track, and connected to vendor partners based on their unique needs. Brides leave Engaged more informed, with custom vendors connections, and a plan for their next steps.
The Engaged Handbook
The Engaged Handbook serves as an easy-to-use planning tool to keep brides inspired, informed, and connected to our vendor partners. Referred to as a “wedding keepsake” and “the Bride’s Bible,” it includes special gifts, a friendly tone, and helpful advice. Custom vendor features are thoughtfully created to represent the business’ brand while maintaining the design integrity of the publication.
The Engaged Collective
For more than 10 years, we have been hosting bridal events with both the bride’s experience and the vendors’ goals in mind. The Engaged Collective has a “boutique, intimate vibe” that allows for better conversations and connections. The brides in attendance are familiar with Engaged and come to meet our curated group of vendors. We use a highly targeted marketing approach in order to attract our ideal brides.
