On this episode, I talk with Crystal from Crystal Lily Photography about diversity in entrepreneurship. The conversation with Crystal started when I saw her post about her obtaining a certification from Equally Wed. We discussed LGBTQ+ representation in portfolios within the creative space. That led to a broader discussion on race and inclusion in business in general. I’m no pro on this topic, but I wanted to discuss it because openness to having the convo is the best first step.

The term ghosting may have started with the rise of online dating, but no doubt every wedding professional has been ghosted by a potential client at one point or another. You meet with a couple, think it went really well, send a quote, and... nothing. Why does this happen? In this week's episode of the This Week In Weddings podcast, we're chatting with wedding planner Beth Bernstein about this ghosting phenomenon and what she's seen in the industry. While we don't know if there's any real solution to the ghosting practice, it's nice to know we're not alone!   About our guest:  After nearly a decade working at Chicago’s top advertising agencies, followed by several years planning events for non-profit organizations, Beth Bernstein launched Sine Qua Non: Special Events, LLC. in May 2009. The name Sine Qua Non is a Latin phrase that translates to "indispensable or essential ingredient." That is what Beth has become to the couples she has guided through the wedding planning process over the past nine years. SQN Events has quickly risen to become one of Chicago's leading wedding planning companies, and Beth is well respected amongst her peers as a leader in the industry. Beth received Wish Upon a Wedding’s “Shining Star” award for 2012. Beth has spoken at the University of Chicago, Roosevelt University, WeddingWire World, and several industry events to inspire people who want to pursue careers in the wedding industry or those who want to take their current businesses further. Beth produced an industry conference, Toss the Bouquet, from 2013-2016, bringing in national speakers to educate her peers and colleagues, emphasizing community over competition. She currently serves as President of the Chicago chapter of WIPA (Wedding International Professionals Association). Beth has been a contributor to the Equally Wed blog, Huffington Post Weddings, and more. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines and blogs, including: Carats + Cake, Destination I Do, Elizabeth Anne Designs, Inside Weddings, The Knot, Modern Luxury Weddings, Style Me Pretty, and more. When she’s not working, you can find Beth at a coffee shop, Shred 415 or SoulCycle, volunteering, or screaming her head off at her son’s hockey games. Beth resides in Chicago with her husband and two children, Zoe and Jason. In this episode, listeners will hear about: Beth's background and how she went from advertising agency to the wedding industry What ghosting means in terms of wedding inquiries Beth's personal experience with ghosting What she learned when asking other wedding industry vendors about their ghosting experiences Ways wedding vendors are ghosting themselves without even realizing it Want to connect with Beth?

Nivelo started Equally Wed in the faith that one day, Australia would enact marriage equality. A wedding directory catering for gay, lesbian, queer and transgendered couples, Equally Wed reflects Niv's belief in equality and civil rights. "The reason why I really started this business was so that everybody had the same rights and option." The inspiration for Equally Wed came seven years ago, when Nivelo's brother and male partner opened a package containing a cake topper. The expression on their faces of joy and happiness really struck Nivelo. They had found something that represented them, something they could see themselves in.  And that, to Nivelo, is important.    * This is not a paid endorsement of Equally Wed. I just admired the imagination and motivation that it took to set up this business years ago and hold faith that one day Australia would get its act together. 

Kirsten Ott Palladino & Maria Palladino are co-founders of Equally Wed, an online wedding magazine celebrating love and weddings in the LGBTQ+ community. It also provides education and resources for same-sex couples and equality-minded wedding professionals. But this is far more than just a business venture.   In 2004, Kirsten and Maria fell in love, getting engaged just before Kirsten’s 30th birthday in Central Park. When Kirsten began searching online and in book stores for wedding planning resources as a same-sex couple, she didn’t see any content out there that reflected her relationship with Maria. Initially sad, Kirsten channeled her emotions into a project called Equally Wed-- an online journal and national wedding magazine for LGBTQ+ couples. With Maria’s background in graphic design and web development and Kirsten’s experience in writing editorial content, the two created a national wedding magazine and resource guide for people in the LGBTQ+ community and their allies who want to learn, connect, and feel validation that love is love, no matter who you are.   At the time Equally Wed launched, only 6 US states had marriage equality, making Equally Wed not only an online resource for community and wedding resources for the LGBTQ+ community, but also a news and activism site during the movement toward national marriage equality. As the political and social conversation continues to evolve around same-sex marriage, so does the wedding market. Kirsten and Maria continue to push the envelope by developing relevant, thoughtful resources, including the publication of a wedding guide in 2017 specifically for LGBTQ+ couples planning their own weddings.   About the Interviewees:    Kirsten Ott Palladino grew up in Georgia and is the co-founder and online editor for Equally Wed, the online journal and author of Equally Wed: The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your LGBTQ+ Wedding. She has served a variety of magazine outlets and freelance clients with her editorial skills over the years before co-founding Equally Wed.   Maria Palladino hails from Florida and has a background in graphic design, marketing, and web development. After moving to Atlanta, she formed her own firm early in her career to work with a variety of clients before becoming the co-founder and creative director of Equally Wed.  How Kirsten and Maria developed their careers in the editorial and graphic design fields Kirsten and Maria’s personal story that was the catalyst for Equally Wed Why wedding resources for same-sex couples are important Personal stories from Kirsten and Maria about vendor and community reactions to planning their wedding as a same-sex couple A brief overview of the same-sex marriage movement in the US The importance of cisgender allies in the LGBTQ+ community The types of questions same-sex couples ask themselves about creating an entire wedding experience-- from traditions to honeymooning How vendors who advertise their support of LGBTQ+ couples can impact their business Ways vendors can act as inclusive partners to better support LGBTQ+ couples   Links Mentioned in the Show: Links Mentioned in the Show: Equally Wed: The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your LQBTQ+ Wedding  Equally Wed - Online wedding magazine and resource Wedding Equality Alliance Also listen to Andy’s interview on his other podcast Extraordinary Ordinary People with Zoila Fajardo: Tolerance, Love, and Raising a Transgender Child Connect with Kirsten and Maria: Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest
