About the Collective
About the Collective
The Intentionally Tabled Creative Collective was born from a simple but deeply held belief: that the wedding industry is better when we show up for each other. Better when we celebrate diversity and inclusion, lift each other up, and build businesses that are as sustainable as they are meaningful.
This is a space for wedding vendors and creative small business owners (with a specific emphasis on those rooted in the Great Lakes region) who are ready to reflect, connect, and grow alongside a community of like-minded creatives.
Through intimate in-person events, honest conversations, and educational programming, we are building something that this industry has needed for a long time.
the Ethos
The Intentionally Tabled Creative Collective is built on the belief that when creative professionals feel supported, seen, and connected to something bigger than themselves, the entire industry rises.
This is a space where that work begins.
Grounded in Growth
Committed to Sustainability
This is a space for vendors who don't just believe in inclusion; they live it. In the couples they serve, the vendors they refer, the venues they support, and the way they show up in their communities every single day.
Growth looks different for everyone; but we believe it always happens more meaningfully in community. This is a space to reflect, learn, and evolve alongside a group of like-minded creatives who are all working toward something bigger than themselves.
We believe that a truly sustainable creative business is one that takes care of itself and the community around it. We are here to support each other in building careers that are intentional, values-based, and deeply invested in the people and places we call home.
Intentionally Tabled: Rooted in Inclusion
When we talk about inclusion, we mean it in the fullest sense of the word. As a queer-owned business, Intentionally Tabled is committed to serving couples and communities of all backgrounds, identities, and love stories; and we are building a collective of vendors who share that same commitment.

KIND WORDS
“Every step of planning was fun, inspired, and full of joy thanks to Jeannene...
She made the process simple and guided the timeline, keeping us on track with decisions to make sure we never missed out on securing the best vendors or overlooked an important detail. The immense amount of work that goes into a wedding was manageable thanks to Jeannene keeping everything incredibly well organized and going above and beyond, no matter how big or small the task." - Jenny & Justin | 2023
“I was looking for someone to really work with me while designing vs. just providing an idea and selling me on it...
and Jeannene did just that. She took mine and my husband's feedback to heart and provided ideas on how to incorporate both and make both happen. When we arrived at the venue, our reception room reveal was one of our favorite moments — the room was spectacular. Our jaws dropped to the ground in awe of how she made the space come to life." - Kori & James | 2023
