We’re looking for NYC’s most
inclusive planners.
Help us build the world’s most trusted LGBTQ+ network.
Join as a Founding Partner for free (Limited to the first 10).
Why You?
You’re being
invited for
a reason
You know the industry better than anyone. You know there is a big difference between a vendor who checks a box saying they are “LGBTQ-friendly” and a vendor who truly understands how to welcome every couple.
ProudYes is here to highlight that difference.
We are launching something ambitious: a global standard for trust. But we are starting right here in NYC, and we can’t build a trusted network without the experts who actually know who the good vendors are.
That is why we need you.
LGBTQ+ Wedding Trust Network
Introducing ProudYES
ProudYES is the LGBTQ+ Wedding Trust Network — a simple way for couples, planners, and vendors to see who’s genuinely affirming.
Every business completes a quick verification.
Every profile shows real alignment.
Nothing is self-declared.
Couples find affirming vendors.
Planners get instant clarity.
Vendors can finally show true inclusion, not rainbow-washing.
Your Role as a Founding Partner
Being a Founding Partner
Why your
voice matters
We are building ProudYes on a foundation of real relationships, not just transactions. We want to establish meaningful, long-term partnerships with the planners who are already doing the work. So we have a proposal:
We are not asking for money. We are asking for your voice.
In exchange for a simple 10-minute video conversation about why inclusion matters to you, we will give you a Lifetime Premium Membership (worth $1,800/year) completely for free.
Not a Membership. A Role.
