Why Inclusivity Matters When Choosing Your Vendors

Your wedding should be a space where everyone feels celebrated. That’s why I only recommend vendors who are not just incredibly talented but also welcoming, inclusive, and passionate about working with all couples, no matter their background, orientation, or identity. Love is love, and your wedding team should reflect that.
