Wedding Public Relations

WHO WE ARE

Be Inspired® Public Relations is a Los Angeles-based boutique agency specializing in marketing and public relations in the luxury Wedding PR™ and lifestyle PR industries.

As the first-ever Wedding PR™ firm, both in the United States and internationally, we combine passion and expertise to assist our clients with brand development, promotion and press placements. Our reach has expanded to also represent clients in lifestyle/fitness, fashion, tech, travel/hospitality and food/drink industries.

With an established presence, Be Inspired® PR continues to connect and work with some of the leading designers, stylists, hotels, jewelry retailers, and unique niche vendors in the wedding industry.

WHAT WE DO

Here at Be Inspired® Public Relations, we work to help our clients take their businesses to the next level. By providing our clients with the necessary tools and strategies to set in motion, they are able to grow and achieve success. Through our customized wedding PR and lifestyle PR strategies, we help businesses increase visibility, build brand awareness and emerge as a leader in their market.

We recognize that running a successful business is not a one-man (or woman!) show. It’s often impossible to maintain even the smallest of businesses on your own – handling everything from securing new business, establishing your brand, managing social media and maintaining vendor relationships… can you imagine? That’s why our wedding PR firm approaches each client with a tailored strategy designed to help vendors reach new heights through social campaigns, referrals/introductions, and targeted media messaging with the leading television production companies, wedding and lifestyle publications, and entertainment partners.

"Leila is the best, giving us new content, always crafted and from top experts."

“Be Inspired PR are true experts, committed to exceeding their clients’ goals. They understand the luxury bridal market. It’s always a pleasure working with them.”

“It’s always a treat to see Leila’s name in my inbox. It means I’m 5 seconds away from reviewing something amazing.”

“Your life is your message to the world, make it inspiring.”

Leila - CEO / Brand Manager

As a business school graduate from Santa Clara University, Leila (Khalil) Lewis’ career began in publishing, where she worked in marketing and editorial roles for business and lifestyle publications. Since transitioning into the wedding business in 2004, Leila has over 10 years of wedding marketing experience under her belt, and is the industry’s go-to for public relations services, brand development and business consulting.

Leila created Be Inspired® PR in 2007, the first full-service public relations agency dedicated to the wedding and special event industry. Passionate, focused and results-driven, Leila works closely with wedding and lifestyle brands – educating clients on marketing strategies, rebuilding corporate image, securing top-level media placements and helping them book new business.

You’ll know when Leila’s excited and inspired about something when she starts talking fast! She comes from a big family and is the oldest of five, many of which can be seen alongside and partnering with the Be Inspired® PR team! When she’s not working, Leila can be found scouting gelato shops in Italy, dressed in cowboy boots, sipping on a glass of Demetria Pinot Noir or spending time on the beach with her husband - Tony, kids - Londyn, Graham and Roman, and golden retriever - Marlo.
