Venues and celebrants
I share the agreed timings and wording with your venue and celebrant so everyone works from the same running order.
LGBTQ+ weddings
Your wedding, your music, your relationship
No assumptions about names, roles, traditions or the music you're supposed to like. We agree how the day runs and how you're introduced, then I build the celebration around the two of you.
Your day, your way
No assumptions. Just your wedding.
Every wedding works differently. Names, introductions, pronouns, speeches, first dances, traditions and the way you want the day hosted are all agreed with you beforehand.
Nothing needs to happen simply because it's considered traditional. If you want the traditions, brilliant. If you want to change them, combine them or ignore them completely, that's equally fine. The job is to make the celebration feel like yours.
The rest is what I'd bring to any wedding day: clear sound, calm announcements, accurate timings and a dancefloor that stays busy.
Planned around you
The details that are usually assumed
Each of these is a question I'll ask, not a default I'll apply.
- Names and pronouns
- Confirmed in writing before the day and used exactly as you've given them, on the microphone and in every supplier conversation.
- Introductions
- Married couple, newlyweds, partners, your first names or your titles — your wording, agreed and read back to you.
- First dances
- One dance, two, or none at all. Planned around the song, the timing and whether you'd like guests to join partway through.
- Speeches
- Whoever is speaking, in whatever order suits you. I'll handle the microphone, the cues and the quiet moments around them.
- Walking in
- Together, separately, with parents, with friends or with nobody at all — the entrance music and cue are set up your way.
- Chosen family
- The people who matter to you get the moments that matter, announced properly and by the right names.
If a guest or another supplier gets something wrong on the day, I'll simply carry on with the wording you've agreed rather than making a moment of it. If you'd prefer certain things not to be announced at all, that's noted too.
Music planning
Your music. Not someone else's idea of your music.
There's no assumed LGBTQ+ playlist here. Some couples want disco and club classics all night, some want indie and rock, some want a quiet dinner set and a loud last hour.
Must-plays
The songs that have to be heard before the night ends.
Do-not-plays
Followed to the letter, including guest requests.
First dance
Original, live version, or a custom edit built for you.
Guest requests
Open, filtered through your list, or switched off entirely.
Send the artists, genres, guilty pleasures and the songs tied to your relationship — the one from your first night out, the one that has to be playing at midnight. Those reference points build a dancefloor that still works for the wider room, rather than a fixed list played in order.
If your taste sits further from the mainstream, the alternative wedding page covers rock, indie, punk and metal nights, the wedding music hub has song ideas by moment, and a custom first dance edit can reshape a song that isn't quite right as it stands.
Working together
Suppliers, planning and private communication
Most of the reassurance comes from the detail being sorted long before the day.
Photographers and suppliers
Key moments are flagged in advance — arrivals, first dance, cake, last song — so nobody misses them or improvises a different version.
Online planner
Booked couples get a private planner for songs, names, pronouns, timings and venue details, updated whenever suits you.
Private communication
Your notes and preferences stay between us. Nothing personal is shared beyond what is needed to run your day properly.
Packages
The same packages, personalised planning
Choose the coverage you need; everything above is included in how I plan it.
Final pricing is confirmed once I know your venue, timings and requirements.
