Since the inception of Luxe in 2009, before same-sex marriage was legal, we have welcomed all types of couples to our wedding planning docket. We were extremely proud to be the very first wedding planning company in our region to publicly announce our support of marriage equality by launching Portland’s first ever LGBTQ-inclusive wedding shows, COMMITTED and MARRY ME NIGHT MARKET.
We have always, and will always, take the stance that we never segregate or change the way we do things based on a person’s sexual preference or identifying gender. Ever.
We're so grateful for the many same-sex, trans and non-binary couples who have trusted us with their pre-2009 Commitment Ceremony to today’s Wedding Planning. (YAY!) For years Luxe has been one of the most-hired LGBTIQA+ wedding planning team in the Pacific Northwest.
We also feel like we have a unique ability to connect with our same-sex couples as multiple LUXE team members throughout the years have identified as gay, lesbian, pan, or bi-sexual. We want our clients to know, without a doubt, that our company is a safe haven, a hate-free zone, and we do not tolerate anything but love and acceptance.
Our company is committed to aiding all efforts to support the movement of human rights and marriage equality in our communities.
Couples who contact us will be treated with same professionalism, love and commitment as any hetero identifying client and are respected as such regardless of their sexual orientation.
BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS THAT Divide Us

The last few years has left our team feeling overwhelmed with sadness and at a loss for words regarding the state of our country. Not only have we grappled with our community losing lives during a world pandemic, but we’ve come face to face with others losing their lives due to hate and discrimination based off the color of their skin (their sexuality and gender). Our hearts hurt deeply for their families and loved ones.
We would be remiss if we didn’t make it a point to express that we stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and all equal rights campaigns. We pledge to fight back against discrimination, racism (both obvious and obscured), and inequality — any of the systems that leave black communities in a constant state of crisis and fear of state-sanctioned violence, mass incarceration, and poverty.
LUXE has never been one to shy away from taking a stand on the important issues and we will never surrender our role in these fights. As a brand, we deeply believe in equality and vow to take an even stronger stance on using our platform to bring awareness to civil topics and issues like systemic racism, marriage equality, animal rights, and religious freedom.
We will continue to celebrate equality, for all people, and we vow to do an even better job highlighting the reform work coming from our communities of color and continue to facilitate events that promote inclusivity.
There is a lot of work to be done, but we’re committed to being part of the solution. We WILL see this city rise above and flourish. We WILL see our fellow Portlanders come together in peace and solidarity. We WILL see love conquer all. We believe this.
Signed with deep love and solidarity,
