LGBTQIA Wedding Planning with Dash of Pride
What does it mean to be inclusive as a wedding professional? When Pride Month is over how can the wedding industry continue to show up and create safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ couples?
Wedding and Event Vendor Alliance had the opportunity to sit down with Jenna Szyluk of dashofpride.com to talk a little bit about how her own wedding planning experience inspired her to create Dash of Pride, a safe and supportive source for LGBTQ+ wedding and event supplies. Jenna is on a mission to change the dialogue within the wedding industry and make it more representative of what real weddings look like. This aligns with WEVA’s mission as well, so we are very happy to introduce you to Jenna today in this conversation. #loveislove
