Picking vendors (florists, photographers, planners, etc.) can be extremely overwhelming. Most likely, you’ll find dozens or even hundreds of vendors in each category in your area. How are you supposed to choose between all these talented people?? That’s the question I kept asking myself over and over before fate stepped in and somehow led me to my photographer Meigan Canfield’s Instagram page.
Most wedding photographers’ social media pages featured only wedding photography, but Meigan’s most recent post was a photo of a baby monkey she’d photographed on a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur. Her eye for animals intrigued me enough to go to her website, where I found out she was also newly vegan! I had never even thought of looking for vegan vendors; after all, why would that matter? However, once I met with Meigan and decided to hire her, I realized how happy it made me to be giving money to someone I knew would spend it ethically! That made it a lot easier to write those big checks.
Over the next couple months, I also ended up finding a fabulous team of vegan videographers as well as a florist who donates 5% of her profits to one of our local animal shelters. Because these vendors and I shared a common passion for animals, I felt extra confident about their dedication to making my wedding as great as it could be! With all of that in mind, I’ve been searching for animal-friendly vendors all across the world to help you build as compassionate of a team as possible!
Animal-Friendly Vendor List*
All names on this list are of vendors who either a) are personally vegan b) donate a percent of revenue/profit to animal rescue or advocacy organizations or c) have significant experience coordinating or working on animal-friendly weddings. Please note, while these vendors are arranged by geographic location, many wedding professionals are happy to travel for the right couple!

Hair & Makeup Professionals
* Terminology Note: When discussing cosmetics, people occasionally get confused between the labels “vegan” vs. “cruelty-free”. For our purposes here, these labels mean the following:
Cruelty-Free Products = Not tested on animals (but may or may not contain animal products)
Vegan Products = Do not contain ingredients sourced from animals (usually these products are not tested on animals, but not always)
Vegan Artist = In addition to using vegan and cruelty-free products, the hair or makeup artist is personally vegan. Please note, just because it doesn’t say “Vegan Artist” doesn’t mean the artist is not vegan, but rather that I couldn’t confirm it based on public information.
Because people tend to use the terms interchangeably, and because makeup artists tend to switch up preferred products occasionally, it’s best to double check with your hair and makeup professionals to make sure their methods and products are aligned with your mission.
