This is a post that I hate I have to make but is SO important to have out there, a frequently updated list of NC LGBTQ+ friendly wedding vendors. It hurts my heart to think about how many couples have had to reach out to vendor after vendor only to have hate or dismissal thrown in their faces because of who they love.
So, I wanted to make a one-stop-shop for my favorite vendors in North Carolina who are not only LGBTQ+ friendly, but CELEBRATORY! Your day is so important and you deserve to have a vendor team who fully supports you and your love.

- About: Live painting is not just a great way to immortalize the day, but to also entertain guests! To watch a whole painting done in a matter of hours can be fascinating. I will paint at your wedding if it is your third marriage and you have a blended family. No matter what your sexual orientation or gender identity is, I am there for it. Whatever loving religion is guiding your ceremony, I will paint it for you! So no matter what nationality, skin color, or age you are: If your date is available I am there for it.
