LGBTQIA friendly wedding vendors in Upstate NY. A phrase I wish nobody had to search for or ask about, also one I struggle to type. If you follow me on any platform, I hope my belief in and support of equality is abundantly clear. I've been profusely thanked by a number of my gay and queer clients for 'accepting them for who they are'. Which, candidly, makes me cry every time, because of course I do, yet I'm very aware of why they are saying it. No couple should have to wonder if a vendor is going to judge them or reject them and after recently getting another inquiry that mentioned 'if you are ok with that', I knew it was time to put this post together, so hopefully, when you reach out to anyone on this list - you can confidently know that they do indeed support you for who you are and will cheer you on. LOUDLY!
*This is of course not a comprehensive list, but are people and places I've worked with and been that made clear their support for the LGBTQIA community and their weddings.
