⁠
We want to change that!⁠
⁠
We wholeheartedly believe representation matters – in every love story, every celebration, and every beautiful moment shared between two people.⁠ So today? We're launching the State of Wedding Media 2024 survey focusing on representation and diversity in the industry.

Whether you're planning your celebration, recently tied the knot, or you're a wedding professional – your voice matters. This confidential survey explores representation across age, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, body diversity, and cultural backgrounds.⁠
⁠
We're committed to creating change, and we'll share what we learn in early 2025. The survey takes just ten minutes, is completely anonymous, and every single response helps create meaningful change in wedding media.
