Well, as promised, I am reporting back on the gay wedding event I mentioned in my previous post. Coco Délice Fine Chocolates attended the first ever gay wedding pavilion this past week. The pavilion was part of the Golden Gate Business Association's (GGBA) yearly event focusing on gay-owned and gay friendly businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area. The extravaganza was held at the Hotel Whitcomb in San Francisco. With the recent happenings surrounding gay marriage in the state of California, organizers saw fit to include the wedding pavilion to focus on vendors providing services for gays and lesbians choosing to take part in the historic legislation. In fact, we were included (briefly that is) in the Associated Press' report on the event which can be viewed on You Tube: Gay Weddings. The great thing about being located in the wedding pavilion was that there was plenty to eat and drink. From the champagne provided by Hornblower Cruises, to the very scrumptious offerings of Out of Thyme Catering (www.outofthymecatering.com) it all kept us going through the five hour event.
Being a gay business owner, I was proud to be a part of this groundbreaking event. We met lots of great people, including other gay business owners as well as couples who were looking forward to tying the knot very soon. More info on the GGBA can be found on their website: www.ggba.com
In case you did not know, the legislation passed recently allows same-sex couples from other states to come to California for their weddings, resulting in a potential ground swell of interest from same-sex couples from all over the country. As active wedding/special event vendors here in the Bay Area, we all have the opportunity to be part of this historical and important movement.
O.K, a little something on chocolate next time…I promise!
