Love knows no boundaries. From race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, the overarching bond that surpasses all understanding is love. A local wedding and event planning company has taken their knowledge and skill from their seven years of business and has extended their capacity by focusing on both heterosexual and same-sex unions. MRSter.com, the updated blog of successful Phoenix-based Life Design Event Planning, highlights vendors that welcome both same- and opposite-sex couples alike. The company has supported both unions since the beginning of the business. “We have been members of the Greater Phoenix Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce since the start of Life Design Event Planning,” says Cicely Rocha-Miller , owner of Life Design Event Planning.

MRSter.com has updated more venues and vendors for a wide variety of couples to plan their perfect day in states where gay marriage may or may not be allowed. What sparked this company to launch the site of resources for all couples was the lack of support for same sex unions from other vendors around the Valley. “We recently heard a story of a local Phoenix wedding vendor that denied services to a lesbian couple strictly because of their sexual orientation, and we were sickened by this blatant discrimination. We knew this wasn’t a fair representation of the Valley’s wedding industry community and we wanted to highlight all of the wonderful vendors we work with that celebrate all loves,” says Drew Coleman, Event Consultant at Life Design Event Planning. 

Rocha –Miller sees tremendous areas of growth in the future of weddings in the Phoenix area. “As a whole, the Phoenix wedding market has been very accepting of our views on marriage equality and has been wonderful to work with when it comes to planning our clients’ weddings,” Rocha-Miller says. “We have run into a few bad seeds or vendors that have plainly refused service and have said the wrong thing in which we have discontinued working with them for all of our modern unions. We want to practice working with vendors who are allies of the GLBTQ community even when working with our hetero couples.”
