The advantage of OFD Consulting lies in the owner's successful track record in the wedding industry over the last six years. After graduating Magna cum laude with a degree in Public Relations from James Madison University, Meghan Ely began her career with the non profit Maymont Foundation, where she steadily increased sales through partnership marketing, while also re-entering the company into the bridal show market after a ten year absence. Meghan then moved to Richmond Country Club, where she designed and implemented the Club's first Banquet Marketing Plan. She has spent the majority of her career with the five star, five diamond Jefferson Hotel, where she consulted with the Marketing Team as to its placement in the Bridal Market. It was there that she successfully co-planned three Artful Wedding bridal shows with Richmond Magazine.
Meghan served as the first Public Relations Chair for the Richmond Bridal Association (www.richmondbridalassociation.com) and more recently as their Membership Director. In Fall 2009, OFD Consulting took over management of RBA, with Meghan as its Managing Director.
Meghan can also be seen as one of the co-hosts of Bridesight TV, Richmond's only local web cast show devoted to the Richmond bride. She is a contributing writer to Virginia Bride Magazine and has been published in Premier Bride Magazine.
