Queerly Wed provides queer-friendly businesses and resources to altar bound same-sex couples

10.20.2009 – Queerly Wed, a new wedding directory geared to the LGBTQ community launched on July 23,2009.

As more areas within the United States are legalizing same-sex marriages (it is legal in currently six states), same-sex couples are in need of a resource to help them find quality and respectful services for their wedding. Queerly Wed actively searches for those businesses to be included in their directory.

“In planning my own wedding, my partner, Stacy, and I saw a need for a service like ours. We want to ensure that couples are treated respectfully and receive the best service they deserve for their big day,” said Melissa Johns, Co-Founder and Director of Advertising and Sales.

In addition to the vendor directory, Queerly Wed also features couples who have already walked down the aisle in a weekly interview, Planning Tips, Relationship Advice, Legal Information and more.

“We have a great team of experts to help same-sex couples find queer-friendly information when planning their big day!” said Stacy Jill Jacobs, Co-Founder and Director of Marketing and Development.

Queerly Wed currently lists queer-friendly wedding vendors throughout the United States, and Canada. The owners plan to include international listings by 2011.
