With over 20 years in business, RainbowWeddingNetwork.com has grown to be the trusted wedding resource for the LGBTQ+ community. Over the past two decades, our team has been privileged to help tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ couples all across America connect with wedding, home and family-related vendors who actively uphold a policy of non-discrimination.
Since 2003, we have produced over 285 LGBTQ+ Wedding Expos in 37 states across the country. And now, in the summer of 2020, we are excited to offer a whole new way to continue to help couples find the LGBTQ+-friendly wedding professionals they're looking for... all from the safety and comfort of home.
How does a Virtual Wedding Expo work?? All you need is a mobile device or desktop computer that connects to the internet! Prior to the Expo date, you'll login to RSVP for the Expo of your choice (you can attend as many as you like!)... and after that you'll receive a few simple reminders by email or text to save-the-date.
On the date of the event, the Expo will go live for app. 3 hours. Again, all you need is your computer or mobile device to login - you can join the event from home... or anywhere! Vendors will be online to greet you... and you can video chat with any of them, type in questions, view their promo videos, and download their digital brochures. You'll be able to save the contact info of the vendors you prefer IMMEDIATELY for easy reference after the event. Plus there will be interactive Raffle Giveaways, and the opportunity to network with other couples if you like. It's a productive and safe way to meet allies and new friends from your local community... and wedding professionals who support Equality, and are eager to work with you and your fiancee with the respect and joyfulness you deserve!
Before and after the Expo, you are invited to browse the Online Directory of www.RainbowWeddingNetwork.com, for further info about the participating vendors as well as others in your area who are LGBTQ+-friendly.
JOIN US for our new 'Same Love, Same Rights'™ VIRTUAL Wedding Expo Experience! We look forward to connecting with you!
