MRSter Speaks is a forum for wedding business professionals to begin a conversation about how wedding industry professionals can learn to become more open and knowledgeable about working with gay and lesbian couples when planning their wedding day. We want all wedding professionals to be knowledgable, confident and excited about this newer market so we welcome businesses to ask questions, learn and discuss working with this newer demographic.

Because of the desire to learn more about gay and lesbian weddings MRSter put together a special forum that we have officially called MRSter Speaks to teach and learn from experts in “modern unions”. Please note that this is not a certified class but merely an opportunity to have open and honest dialogue about the industry, upcoming trends, gay business development and how it affects the economy.

The workshops are 4 hours in length and consist of the following ::

• Why here? Why now? Why not?
• Facts on Marriage Equality
• What does marriage equality mean to our industry
• MRSter Speaks – A short story-telling documentary produced by Life Design Event Planning
• Introduction to The DICE Theory
• How to work with the LGBT community
• Specifics on best business practices for same sex weddings
• Panel for Q + A
• Ways to become involved in your state
• Last Impression – Matt and Rich’s Wedding
• Lots of treats and an overall event experience.
• Humor and a whole lot of personality!
