WHO WE ARE

Weddings In Color is a curated collective of diverse vendors that create magical, meaningful wedding experiences. We are here for couples that want to break from the traditional status quo and host personalized, curated weddings that truly represent you as a couple.

We focus on highlighting people of color, and LGBTQ+ minority vendors that are often under-represented in the wedding industry.

Weddings are a Family Affair. 

Your wedding vendor team should also feel like family. That’s why we created Weddings In Color – so that we could do weddings with our Wedding Crew that we already trust, know, love, and have been working with for years. Every vendor has been carefully curated to bring the absolute best vibes and energy to your big day. The benefits for our clients? Zero time spent researching. We gotchu.

Representation & Action Matters.

When most of us started in the wedding/events industry, we didn’t see many people that looked like us anywhere: at events as attendees, on the vendor team, at venues, and not even on wedding websites or blogs. Somehow we found each other. Scratch that – we flocked to each other – and now we get to create beautiful wedding experiences together that represent us. Our Vibe. Our Community.

Our Values

People over Pinterest photos.

We’ll always create beautiful photo opps, but experience comes first always.

Wedding planning should be fun & joyful.

We’re here to make sure it is. 

Make your own rules.

There are no rules for what you can and can’t do on your wedding day. It’s your day as a couple to celebrate your love. Do YOU.

Trust your gut.

If you ever start a wedding planning sentence with “Aren’t we supposed to…” or “Shouldn’t we…” then the answer is probably no.

Be your own trend.

We’re always aware of “trends” in the wedding industry, but we’ll never pressure you to follow them.

Our History

Weddings In Color is a project of Make it Mariko, an award-winning creative events agency led by women of color in San Francisco. In 2015 Make it Mariko started our event planning journey doing strictly weddings and nonprofit events. As Make it Mariko grows as an events agency, we wanted to create a branch to specifically focus on the unique event experience that is a wedding, especially a Bay Area wedding. 

We’re dedicated to creating more opportunities for local people of color (POC), women, LGBT, and minority-owned small businesses, chefs & caterers, DJs & musicians. We’re especially excited about creating space for talented and diverse Event Planners to curate personal experiences with our wedding clients.

The absolute best. Gina and her team are so on top of everything: They are detail-oriented, responsive, organized, and charismatic.  They get it and I loved working with them. They are worth every penny.
