Equally Wed Pro's LGBTQ+ Weddings Certification Course

LEARN MORE ABOUT CERTIFICATION"I am blown away by the attention to detail and relevance to today (even citing social media presence) that Equally Wed has infused into their LGBTQ+ certification course. It's a compilation of everything that I (as a queer nonbinary wedding vendor) have wanted everyone at the weddings I'm working to understand, and then some, and a diving into history and equality that I didn't even realize I didn't know. Kirsten breaks it down in a kind and non-intimidating way, but also holds tight to her values and anti-discrimination convictions. I'm taking away so much, and feeling ready and hopeful for the future of the wedding industry. This course is not only a resource, but a must for anyone who wants to serve their clients as an ally, safe person, or member of the LGBTQ+ community."

Elevating the Industry
There are no real barriers to enter our industry. While this allows people from all different walks of life to become a wedding and event professional, it opens our industry up to potential misunderstandings, accusations of discrimination and even lawsuits. Our LGBTQ+ Weddings Certification is the differentiating component for our industry. It demonstrates to your clients that you have made a lifetime commitment to understand and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community as well as demonstrate your commitment to equality and inclusivity.
