Training and Mentor Program - Gay Wedding Planning 101

14 Stories was the first business of its kind in the United States - specializing in planning legal same-sex weddings.  We started in Massachusetts.  Do you want to start a gay wedding planning company in your state?

Our role as planners is very important to engaged same-sex couples struggling with issues of who to invite to their wedding; whether or not they'll have family acceptance; which vendors they can trust; and of course, what to wear to their wedding!  Not only are we planners, but we are our client's advocates and need to go beyond the traditional "wedding planner" role. 

14 Stories offers an intensive, full day, highly interactive seminar and mentorship on how to start your own company planning same-sex weddings.  We have a proven, successful business model and will offer you the tools you need to be an effective, professional wedding planner in this growing market. We've developed an intensive curriculum and topics covered include:

  • Industry-specific business practices
  • How to perform targeted, local market analysis
  • Managing the bureaucratic process with federal, state and local agencies
  • Coaching on non-traditional dress
  • Etiquette for same-sex wedding
  • Same-sex marketing
  • Same-sex ceremony templates, sample vows and readings
  • Same-sex wedding traditions
  • and much, much more.
This is a very hands-on, interactive experience!  In addition to our hands-on expertise, you'll receive a binder of professional planning materials and tips and a flash drive of files that you are free to replicate and use for your own business.
