Question: What are the Major Differences Working on a Gay Wedding?

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Wednesday, October 19, 2011

Question:  What are the major differences, if any, for vendors working on a gay wedding as opposed to a straight wedding? 

Answer: There are not many differences on the wedding day itself. You may notice two aisles or the couple walking into the ceremony together or some traditions being excluded or some fun additions to the celebration or some guests who really don't want to be there - but the wedding day itself is very similar. 

The planning process is where most of the differences are especially if you have clients who want something nontraditional, if one or both partners is transgender or if you live in a place where same-sex marriage is not widely accepted.

Do you  have any burning questions for me?  Ask them here and I'll answer in an upcoming post!
