The Opportunity

A Three-Pronged Campaign Approach
Built for Marrying Couples

There are a variety of ways in which we can market with weddings — from Gen Z and millennial planners and destination couples to the "finally" couples marrying after decades, marrying parents, and the reassurance-seekers. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on Weddings & Honeymoons. Every LGBTQ+ wedding is two stories at once: a couple's biggest purchase of the decade, and a celebration a community fought fifty years to make legal.

First, we focus on getting your venue, destination, or brand out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via in-market wedding data selects — couples showing wedding and honeymoon intent — layered onto community inventory, geo-targeted to your feeder markets down to ZIP level, with CTV for destination storytelling. Second, we run share-of-voice social, monitoring LGBTQ+ wedding conversations and ensuring your brand is part of them. Third — unique to this market — we curate and amplify real-couple UGC: the best proposal stories, two-bride galleries, and honeymoon albums, with your brand at the center of the celebration.

This includes our #ILoveGay Network, now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers, plus influencer honeymoon hosting with tourism-board cost-sharing. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.

The Queer Wedding Economy by the Numbers

The Numbers That Make
This Market Worth Reaching

A snapshot from the LGBTQ+ Weddings & Honeymoons Market Guide — a market that doubled in a decade, spends above the national average, and re-fills itself every engagement season.

823K

Married Couples

Same-sex couples married in the US — more than double since Obergefell in 2015 (Williams Institute).

$6B

Economic Boost

State & local boost from same-sex weddings since Obergefell — $4.9B in direct spending plus guest travel.

$33.8K

Average Spend

Male-couple average wedding (The Knot), with guest lists at or above the national average — the guest multiplier.

Marriage-Equality Countries

The destination map keeps expanding — Thailand (2025) and Greece (2024) the newest honeymoon headliners.

A perpetual, renewing pipeline. Marriage equality wasn't a one-time wave — new engagements replenish the market annually, and the couples skew young, urban, dual-income, and brand-attentive.
