With all its sights and attractions - and a heritage of tolerance - West Hollywood is the perfect gay and lesbian wedding destination.
After more than 20 years of fighting for legal rights to marry, same-sex couples are now celebrating the California Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage. The City of West Hollywood, which has historically been a leading advocate for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights, is quickly becoming a prime destination for LGBT couples to celebrate their weddings and honeymoons.
Actively marketed as a premier travel destination to LGBT visitors around the world, West Hollywood is home to Southern California’s largest gay and lesbian population (nearly seven times higher than the national average), the largest Gay Pride festival on the West Coast, and boasts Los Angeles’ most popular gay nightclubs and businesses on the picturesque Santa Monica Boulevard. The city offers 14 gay-welcoming hotels, unique dining, trendy spas, boutique shopping, renowned art galleries and a bustling and energetic atmosphere which causes the city’s population (approximately 36,000 in 1.9 square miles) to double on any given weekend.
The West Hollywood Marketing & Visitors Bureau promotes West Hollywood as a destination and community that is “Living Forward” in attitude, thought, and lifestyle.
