Gay Weddings

Same sex weddings or commitment ceremonies are just as complex and challenging to plan as heterosexual weddings! In fact, same sex weddings can be even more complex considering the various details same sex partners must consider when planning their big day.  First, depending on where you live, you might need to consider what type of ceremony you can legally have: a civil union, domestic partnership, a commitment ceremony or a legal union.  Once you have the issue of your state’s legislation behind you, there are other unique things that you should take into consideration.  Who will be marrying you?  Are they comfortable with officiating over a same sex union?  What about your vendors?  Same sex couples should make sure that they pick reliable vendors who are unbiased and who respect the relationship.  Once those details are out of they way, the rest of the planning is pretty standard and entirely up to the discretion of the couple.   

Gay Wedding Planner Advice 

Think gay wedding planners don’t exist? Well they do, but you don’t need one. Save your money for the honeymoon! The best (straight or gay) wedding planners are often one half of the twosome that is soon to tie the knot.  If you’re thinking about taking the plunge into a marriage or partnership, planning is essential to putting it all together for the ceremony of your dreams. There are more details than ever that have to be tracked, particularly with people traveling from all over the country and even from other parts of the world to your event.  You must set a budget, hire a variety of vendors, pick the décor, and decide on what ceremonial traditions you do or don’t want to include (exchange of rings, wedding vows, religious customs, declaration of marriage, etc.), among other things!

Staying organized while planning your wedding the old-fashioned way—cramming pieces of paper into an overstuffed binder—is much too risky. Too much goes into the planning of a same sex wedding to take the chance that the details of the day will go flying away with an untimely gust of wind. 

Take advantage of this era of instant information and communication by using an online wedding planner that you can access at anytime from anywhere! Same sex wedding planning will never be a stress-free exercise, but minimize the distractions and worries by having all the details of your wedding a keystroke away.
