Rebel Love Collective delivers inclusivity training for vendors

Rebel Love Collective, a leading provider of LGBTQ+ inclusive wedding services has announced its expansion into new areas to further its mission of creating a more inclusive and affirming space for couples and lovers.

Founded in March 2022, Rebel Love Collective has rapidly become a trusted wedding industry name. Through its existing services, including Rebel Love Club (photography and videography), Rebel Love Directory (wedding directory), and the upcoming Rebel Love Wedding Fair, the company has already connected countless LGBTQ+ couples with inclusive vendors.

The expansion includes the launch of Rebel Love Education, a training program designed to help wedding vendors understand and implement LGBTQ+ inclusivity in their businesses. By providing education and resources, Rebel Love Collective aims to create a more welcoming and affirming environment for all couples, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

"We've seen firsthand the challenges many LGBTQ+ couples face when planning their weddings," said Steff Clements (she/they), co-founder of Rebel Love Collective. "Our goal is to create a space where everyone feels welcome and celebrated. By expanding our offerings, we can better serve the needs of the LGBTQ+ community and make weddings a more inclusive experience for all."

"We believe that everyone deserves to have a wedding that reflects their love and individuality," said Ells Bewley (they/them), co-founder of Rebel Love Collective. "By working together with vendors who are committed to inclusivity, we can create a more equitable and welcoming wedding industry."

As Rebel Love Collective continues to grow, it remains committed to its mission of challenging the cis-heteronormative structures that often dominate weddings. 

The team hopes to grow each brand to deliver programming or services nationally (and eventually internationally) to achieve its vision of making weddings a more joyful, inclusive experience for all couples and lovers, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or background.

Rebel Love’s services work toward a mission of inclusivity and love. Rebel Love Club documents love stories, while the Rebel Love Directory connects couples with inclusive vendors. Rebel Love Wedding Fair will bring those connections to life in a welcoming, in-person space, with Rebel Love Education ensuring that vendors have the knowledge and tools they need to support LGBTQ+ clients authentically. Together, these services create a supportive ecosystem for couples, lovers and vendors alike.
