At Lyons Farmette and River Bend, we believe that love knows no boundaries and that everyone deserves to celebrate their special moments in an environment that values and embraces diversity, promotes equity, and fosters inclusivity. We are committed to creating an environment that reflects these principles in everything we do.

Diversity

We recognize and celebrate the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and identities of our clients and team members. We embrace diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, and socio-economic background. We actively seek to ensure that our business represents and respects the diversity of the communities we serve.

Equity

We strive for fairness, justice, and equality in every aspect of our operations. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all individuals, irrespective of their backgrounds. Our policies and practices are designed to eliminate any barriers that may impede access to our services. We believe in fair treatment, fair compensation, and fair representation, and we continuously work to identify and address any systemic biases within our organization.

Inclusion

We are dedicated to creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere that welcomes and embraces all couples, families, and guests. We commit ourselves to cultivating an environment that is free from discrimination, prejudice, and harassment. We actively listen to the needs and concerns of our clients, ensuring that their diverse voices are heard and respected. We value open dialogue and feedback, and we continuously strive to improve our practices to better serve the needs of our diverse clientele.

Partnerships and Community Engagement

We actively seek out partnerships and collaborations with vendors, organizations, and individuals who share our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. By working together, we can leverage our collective strengths to create a more inclusive and equitable wedding industry. We will engage with our local community and contribute to initiatives that promote diversity, support underrepresented groups, and foster a sense of belonging for all.

In embracing diversity, promoting equity, and fostering inclusivity, Lyons Farmette and River Bend aims to create an environment where all couples and their loved ones feel welcome, celebrated, and valued. We believe that by doing so, we not only enhance the farm dinner, wedding, or workshop experience but also contribute to building a more just and inclusive society.
