"Most wedding and event professionals, want to be inclusive, but do they know what that looks like in the essentials areas of planning an inclusive wedding or event. Where do they go for support and education, quickly and easily, The Inclusive Wedding Alliance!"

"The Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices," is included in every Inclusive Wedding Alliance membership.

The wedding and event industry must learn the appropriate language to use when working with LGBTQIA2S+ couples to better understand the history and evolution of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We must reimagine the institution of marriage by understanding and educating ourselves about genders, pronouns, and the importance of being aware of inclusively when working with LGBTQIA2S+ couples. As allies in the wedding and event industry, we must acquire knowledge to support and uphold inclusivity standards that allow us to be aware, authentic, and accountable to LGBTQIA2S+ couples.

Setting standards with consistency, leading by example creating a safe space and place for LGBTQIA2S+ couples and colleagues.
Is that you?
