Since 2015 I began advocating for additional inclusive awareness education and resources for the wedding and event industry.

Experiencing the bigotry that can be exhibited from a uneducated and un inclusive wedding vendor was life changing!

It changed my life advocating for LGBTQIA2S+ couples in the wedding and event industry. No couple should ever experience bigotry while planning or celebrating the most important day of their lives.

"The Ten Steps To Inclusive Practices," is essential information to be an affirming ally to LGBTQIA2S+ couples.

LGBTQIAS+ couples will only seek inclusive services that create a safe space for them, their family and friends.

We have a lot of work to do!

Chief Contributing Editor

he/him

WHEN I HEAR “luxury wedding,” Ricardo Tomas immediately comes to mind.

We met in 2015 at a one-day certification class taught by Bernadette Smith, author of The Business of Gay Weddings: A Guide for Wedding Professionals.

Ricardo and I ended up having lunch that day and have been friends since.

Ricardo listens to what his clients want and takes their vision beyond their expectations, specializing in “fun, unique, and unforgettable weddings.” Ricardo sets the standard for luxury. With exquisite taste, his unique understanding of fashion and interior design plays a crucial role in planning an unforgettable, lavish event.

When a wedding bears Ricardo’s signature, you can be sure it will live in the hearts, minds, and souls of all who attended for years to come. I am humbled and honored to have Ricardo INCLUSIVE, the magazine’s Chief Contributing Editor for luxury weddings.

Experience one of Ricardo's Inclusive Luxury Weddings in the Premier issue of INCLUSIVE, the magazine - Valentine's Day 2023.
