Yes, absolutely. There's a link up at the top with this policy:

We take love seriously, that's why we added a comprehensive Nondiscrimination Policy to the books last year. Whether you're providing wedding services or saying "I do," we want everyone to know that 100% of our vendors and couples support inclusion.

WeddingWire prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital, family, pregnancy status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran or citizenship status. Our full Nondiscrimination Policy, which applies to our entire community of couples, guests, vendors and WeddingWire employees, can be found within our Terms of Use - number 4."

I am glad you are leaving reviews in the common review places. Normally I am not for leaving reviews of vendors one didn't use, but the reason you are not using them is vital information to anyone vendor shopping.

All of that said, your original post made me sad and angry. I am sorry this happened. I hope you can shake it off (after doing all the reviewing and reporting to WW), for your sake, and find a great new vendor!

Ouch. No need to post about your non-support of human rights here. Much better to just ignore and scroll on by.

Definitely disregard them! I hope you left a review. It's a shame that this is still happening. It's hard sometimes but stay positive! Just know that there are vendors out there who are fully supportive. Some of them right off the bat mention lgbtq+ in their descriptions or event services. I know you'll find someone!

I completely agree this is awful, but unfortunately they have the right to refuse. It sucks that people can't be accepting.

You will find a better photographer. At least she didn't cut out on you at the last minute and you didn't spend your money on a person who can't see that Love is Love.

Businesses that serve the public must offer their services to all. If it's not illegal for them to discriminate against people in this way then it should be.

...Correct me if I'm wrong, but in many states, if not ALL, this ... is illegal?

I mean, I smell a good old fashioned media shaming and lawsuit threat, but I'm ... known to be rather confrontational.

I'm sorry this happened. If this is a vendor listed on most major wedding websites, please report them, as all of the major websites are LGBTQ+ friendly, and do not condone this (illegal) behavior.

We are in Florida as well just from a small very conservative town, so I was expecting to be turned down. It was the rest of the conversation that just made me mad.

Thank you so much for that information! I am reporting them now!

I left a review in all of the places that I could! I am hoping I can find more vendor options! I think I am going to have to up our budget and have vendors travel. We are in a small conservative town so finding vendors local has been a struggle.

It is so much harder than I thought it would be! I definitely thought that the wedding world would be a little farther along with acceptance and inclusion that it is.
