7 Reasons to Hire an LGBTQ+ Wedding Planner to Bring Your Colorado Celebration to Life

You know you need a wedding planner. DIYing it just isn’t your style. But do you need an LGBTQ+ wedding planner? Here are seven compelling reasons to hire an LGBTQ+ wedding planner to ensure your special day is nothing short of magical.

1. Empathy and Understanding

An LGBTQ+ wedding planner brings empathy and understanding to the table, having experienced firsthand the challenges and joys of planning their own wedding or supporting other couples through the process. They possess a unique sensitivity to the nuances and intricacies of LGBTQ+ weddings, ensuring your journey is met with compassion and support.

At Mountainside Events, we’ve planned hundreds of weddings for couples in the LGBTQ+ community, including a destination wedding in Mexico for Taylor–the Mountainside Events owner! You can see all these beautiful events and more on our Instagram page!

2. A Welcoming and Inclusive Environment

Working with an LGBTQ+ wedding planner creates an atmosphere of inclusivity and acceptance from the very beginning. They will create a safe space where you can freely express your desires and preferences without fear of judgment or discrimination. This environment fosters open communication and a sense of comfort throughout the planning process.

At Mountainside Events, we understand that creating a welcoming environment isn’t only important for you but for your friends and family as well. We keep inclusivity at the forefront of everything we do–from the wording on your wedding signs to the seating arrangements for your ceremony and more!

3. Vendor Network

LGBTQ+ wedding planners often have an established network of LGBTQ+-friendly vendors experienced in working with diverse couples. They can help you connect with vendors who share your values and understand the unique aspects of your love story. From photographers to caterers, their connections will ensure a smooth and inclusive experience.

At Mountainside Events, we love our local and extended Colorado community and have built amazing partnerships with LGBTQ+-friendly vendors who would love to help bring your wedding to life. When you work with us as your wedding planner, you get access to our long list of preferred vendors–and we’ll help you choose ones we know will vibe well with your celebration.

4. Cultural Sensitivity

Every couple has their own unique cultural background and traditions. An LGBTQ+ wedding planner knowledgeable about various cultures will respect and celebrate your heritage and find creative ways to incorporate it into your wedding day. They will ensure your wedding is a true reflection of your identities and beliefs.

At Mountainside Events, we’re passionate about incorporating your culture, identity, and love story into every detail of your wedding. Whether you want to revamp wedding traditions or infuse your venue with pride decor, we’ll help make your vision come to life!

5. Creative Vision

An LGBTQ+ wedding planner understands that your love story is unique, and they will work closely with you to bring your vision to life. They will listen attentively to your dreams and aspirations and offer creative ideas tailor-made to your preferences. Their ability to think outside the box will help you create a wedding that is authentically yours.

At Mountainside Events, we have a small but mighty team of planners and designers who are experts at creating unique and unforgettable events. No two couples are the same, and no two weddings are the same. We believe that yours should highlight everything you love, whether that’s Colorado culture, the mountains, or the holidays!

6. LGBTQ+ Community Resources

An LGBTQ+ wedding planner is a valuable source of information regarding LGBTQ+-specific resources and services. They can recommend LGBTQ+-owned businesses, wedding blogs and magazines, and inclusive wedding venues and vendors. Their knowledge and connections within the community can add a special touch to your wedding experience.

At Mountainside Events, we not only plan weddings in Colorado, but our team lives in Northern Colorado and prioritizes community involvement. We know the best everything–Colorado wedding venues, restaurants and caterers, hikes and views. Just ask! By working with us, you contribute to the growth and visibility of LGBTQ+-owned businesses and can rest assured that your wedding planning journey aligns with your values and supports causes you care about.

7. A Celebration of Love

Above all, an LGBTQ+ wedding planner is passionate about celebrating love in all its forms. They believe in equality and inclusivity, and their ultimate goal is to create a wedding experience that honors your love story and celebrates the journey toward marriage. With their guidance, you can relax and enjoy the process, knowing that your special day will be a beautiful representation of your love and commitment.

At Mountainside Events, we would love to be the LGBTQ+ wedding planning team you choose to bring your wedding vision to life!
