Love Is Love, So Love Big Outlook Media is proud to present Ohio’s only LGBT and allied wedding expo series, as well as, Ohio’s first print and digital LGBTA wedding guide & directory.
Love Big Expos offer a safe and welcoming place for LGBT couples to meet vendors who are committed to marriage equality and excited to serve the LGBT community. Planning for a wedding is stressful enough. Love Big relieves the added stress of coming out to potentially non-supportive vendors by putting equality-minded businesses all in one place.
Because Ohio is still does not legally recognize marriage equality, LGBT couples have to go out of state to get their licensing. However, more and more Ohio LGBT couples are choosing to hold their big religious ceremonies and receptions back in the Buckeye State. LGBT ceremonies used to be small, private affairs. Now, couples want to include all their friends, family and loved ones. For vendors, it is the best opportunity to tap into the LGBT market. As a vendor, you will engage with clientele whose income is 25% higher than the average and whose spending accounts for 1/5 of Ohio’s economy. That’s $101 billion of Ohio’s $509 billion economy. Events are free and open to the public. Straight couples are welcome, too! (We really do believe in equality!)
The Love Big LGBT Wedding Guide is a free, full color, perfect bound 9" x 10.875", premium paper stock magazine featuring equality-minded vendors servicing the Ohio market. The advertorial-focused guidebook is complimented by original industry focused content. 50,000 copies with be distributed state-wide annually to wedding vendors, shops, universities, restaurants, coffee houses, libraries, community centers and subscribers. Advertisers will be presented by both city and industry, making it easy for patrons to find exactly what they are looking for. Thank you for your interest in Love Big Expos and Magazine, as well as, your commitment to equality. We look forward to you participation.
