Whether it be coordinating the event, capturing your special day, or designing floral arrangements, the role of each wedding vendor is to craft the essence of love in all its forms.Â
Planning a wedding and making sure every detail is perfect for your special day can be a stressful endeavor, so it is important to find vendors who will offer support and love throughout the process.Â
Finding inclusive wedding vendors is an essential for feeling loved and supported during the wedding planning process, especially for LGBTQ+ couples. As LGBTQ+ Pride Month comes to a close, we would like to highlight some of the many local LGBTQ+ inclusive and queer-owned vendors that you can support all year round.

The company is not only owned and operated by a staff of Native Hawaiian and LGBTQ+ women, it is also sustainable with a commitment to creating less waste in the wedding industry. When planning your wedding with The Gay Agenda Co., you can be sure of a loving and supportive planning experience.Â
