These are a few of my personal favorite vendors to work with. However, these are ideas and suggestions only. I do my absolute best to vet everyone who is on this list, but ultimately it’s your responsibility to do your own research, contact vendors directly, and to make your own decision on who you feel is best to hire. This is a constantly evolving list, so if you have a personal experience with a vendor that you’d like to share, I’m all ears!
ALL OF THESE VENDORS ARE LGBTQIA+ FRIENDLY OR OWNED
