Wed Society is a wedding media and marketing concept that helps engaged couples discover local wedding vendors while giving vendors digital and print advertising options. The model centers on publishing real weddings and vendor features across online and social channels, supported by a curated vendor directory and planning content for couples.

Founded in 2007 in Edmond, Oklahoma by co-founders Kami Huddleston and Ashley Bowen Murphy, the brand grew from local wedding publishing into a structured system that pairs content production with vendor promotion and community engagement. Franchise owners operate a Wed Society business in their market, producing a print publication and hosting wedding-industry events as part of the platform’s local presence.
