Earn the trust of the loyal LGBTQ wedding market by learning from the experts at the Equality Institute. Our Ireland-specific course will empower you with the tools to confidently reach these couples.
To reach this powerful and lucrative gay and lesbian wedding market, you need to be ready. Gay weddings are different and they are very good for business.
There are 4000+ gay couples living together in Ireland, not to mention the massive destination wedding business potential. That's big business, and fabulous weddings! You don't want to lose business or risk offending potential clients!
But, for same-sex couples, wedding planning can be a very vulnerable experience. They don’t know who they can trust. How do they know they can trust you? That’s where we come in!
Take it from one of our graduates, Julie Buckley, Just Jules Events
"I have a lot of gay friends and assumed I knew how things worked in the gay community - but I clearly didn't! The course provides you with very useful and important information to help you be successful in the same-sex wedding business. It was engaging, the homework was a good idea and I learned things that I have been able to implement immediately. I need to market to same-sex couples in a much different way than straight couples."

Conoce uno de los testimonios de una de nuestras egresadas:
" Con el Programa de Certificación aprendí a como expresarme mejor, a hacerlos sentir cómodos con mi trato laboral y mis clientes lo notaron, se dieron cuenta del cambio y la sensibilidad que tengo ahora en el tema, de inmediato se hizo el clic que tanto busco. Ahora comparto lo que aprendí con amigos y familia y cómo podemos estar equivocados al “etiquetar” sin saber de un tema, a nunca suponer y no sacar conclusiones de algo que nos cuesta entender por falta de cultura y conocimiento”.

Take it from one of our graduates, Greg from the Hotel Monaco:
“Just wanted to let you know that I REALLY not only enjoyed this class, but the way it was presented. Learned a ton of information. And I really liked the underlying tone – just be yourself, ask questions if you don’t know, and genuinely care about your couple – gay, straight or whatever. Very well done! And very well received.”
