Our Vision
We do things a little differently around here: we are focused on uplifting and supporting the BIPOC community in the PNW, especially those involved in the wedding industry. We aim to promote racial justice & equity within our Pacific Northwest communities.
We created this directory for Black and Brown wedding vendors because we all know how hard it is to get the recognition you deserve when mainstream media may not celebrate all the beautiful forms of love.
Our goal is to provide EQUAL OPPORTUNITY through REPRESENTATION, RECOGNITION AND EXPOSURE for the Wedding and Event industry as a whole. We will use our platform to amplify BIPOC voices and ensure our narrative continues to remain relevant, present and evident.

Hey there! I’m a Vietnamese American Wedding Planner & Event Coordinator with a love for getting people together. I grew up in sunny San Diego, CA where it was a large melting pot of different cultures.
I've lived in Portland, OR for the past decade and am enjoying putting down roots here with with my husband, daughter and pup. I hope to continue to lift up the BIPOC community by encouraging & fostering relationships between local PNW vendors.
You can find me trying out all the new restaurants in town and around the world when I’m not working :)

Hi, I'm Jenny! I am a daughter of a Korean immigrant, dog mama and parent to two grown humans. Originally from the Seattle area, I have been a wedding photographer for nearly two decades. Portland has been home for two years and I am always looking for ways to build community in my new city.
