Welcome to Equally Wed! Let's get your new preferred vendor listing created!
STEP #1 ~ CREATE A USER ACCOUNT
Start here: https://equallywed.com/profile
Create your Equally Wed user account (free). Ignore the questions for couples. We have the same user system for all site visitors. You can select “Wedding Pro/Vendor” or what best describes you if you’d like. This user account is not your vendor listing. Already have an Equally Wed user account? Go to that link above and make sure you are logged into it before proceeding to step #2.
STEP #2 ~ CREATE YOUR NEW LISTING
Once you’re logged into the site, head to this link: https://equallywed.com/wedding-directory-dashboard/ and click on the red “ADD LISTING” button.
From there, you’ll be able to create your custom preferred vendor directory listing page showcasing your business by adding your information, photos, social media links, website URL, a video and more.
LISTING CATEGORIES
For categories, any that identify you as a person of color or LGBTQ+ are complimentary.
If you are a Platinum vendor, you can choose 3 categories.
14-karat Gold and Sterling Silver vendors can choose 1 category.
Additional categories are $50, and that upgrade can be purchased by emailing vendors@equallywed.com.
LISTING PHOTOS
If you are a Platinum vendor, you can upload 50 images.
If you are a 14-karat Gold vendor, you can upload 20 images.
If you are a Sterling Silver vendor, you can upload 10 images.
We prefer images without straight couples. Images of cishet or straight/non-trans couples don’t perform well with our readers. However, it’s fine for you to display individual marriers in photos. If you’re using photos from styled shoots of LGBTQ+ weddings, please use real LGBTQ+ people as models.

Photos should be optimized for the web. If you have any issues, you can send your photos to our team to optimize and upload for you. Send via Dropbox or WeTransfer to info@equallywed.com.
PLEASE NOTE:
You can drag and drop the images to change the order as well as click on the text box next to each image to change the caption. You might want to put photo credit, a description of what’s shown in the image or your business name. This text is picked up by Google and other search engines so this can help drive more people to your listing.
FINISHING UP & PUSHING YOUR LISTING THROUGH
When you get to the payment portion, simply select “I’ve already paid. — OR — Check is in the mail.” Once you’ve submitted your page through to our team, we’ll review, confirm receipt of payment and make it live.
(If you haven’t paid yet, you can pay in our system at this point.)
Once it’s live, please feel free to grab a badge on our site (https://equallywed.com/badges) and add it to your site, social, etc. linking it to your new preferred vendor listing page on equallywed.com.
You can always edit your own listing 24/7 by logging into equallywed.com and clicking on VENDORS > Edit my listing.
