People still experience anxiety when trying to book vendors on their wedding day and there are still people who avoid it. Believe it or not, Texas is still filled with hateful bigots. So here we are, eyes turned to the new mountainous climb: finding LGBT friendly wedding vendors. Nowadays…it’s totally normal, at least in most circles. Let that sink in: less than five years ago, people just needed to see bi-racial couples to feel included. I remember how in Hawaii, people told me they would book me because I had bi-racial couples on their website. In fact, in some sections of the industry, that’s about as diverse as it gets. All a size zero, all glowing with privilege. I remember when I started nine years ago, the wedding industry was filled to the brim with beautiful cis-het white folk. I see these stories every now and again, of people being rejected based on their sexual orientation. No one wants to face rejection just for wanting to commit to someone and love them. I’m hoping this will be a good resource for everyone.
Austin is a great city, but I’m hoping to cut out the guessing game for all humans by creating this Austin LGBT friendly wedding vendors resource! I’ve taken some names off, added others. I’ve been in Austin for five years now and decided to do a 202 update. Welcome to the updated Austin LGBT friendly Wedding Vendors Resource!
