LGBTQ+ wedding celebrant services in London & beyond
I know weddings and marriage can mean many different things to LGBTQ+ folks. Giddy and gay, yes, for sure! But it can also be complicated and confusing and hard to navigate, when you’re faced with lots of expectations that might not necessarily feel like what you want, and a wedding industry that still has a long way to go when it comes to being truly inclusive.
As your celebrant and as a queer, nonbinary person myself with my own experiences of getting married and being part of the wedding industry, I can be here for you through it all, and help you figure out what’s right for you.
I’ll craft a ceremony for you that is:
Intentional about what traditions you’d like to include, subvert, or set on fire
Affirming of your identities and your relationship, with no misgendering, deadnaming, or any cisnormative/heteronormative nonsense
Thoughtful when it comes to the language you’d like me to use to refer to you
Understanding of any difficulties around family dynamics, and wholly celebratory of your chosen family
Together, let’s make sure your day centres you and your joy.
What’s included in my wedding ceremony package
Free no-obligation initial consultation via video call so we can check if we’re right for each other
A Giddy & Gay Guide to Wedding Ceremonies to give you plenty of tips and ideas to kick off your ceremony journey
A love story questionnaire which you’ll fill out separately so I can find out all your juicy relationship secrets and what makes you giddy about each other
Ceremony deep-dive meeting (in person if possible!) where we’ll plan your dream ceremony down to every little detail
An original & bespoke ceremony script including any symbolic rituals you want – based on everything you’ve told me, I’ll get to work crafting a swoonworthy script which tells your story exactly the way you deserve to be seen and celebrated
Making tweaks and edits – I’ll send the draft script to you and we can make any changes we need so you’re completely happy with it
Support with any bits of the script/ceremony – writer’s block with your personal vows? Trouble finding that perfect reading? Want to incorporate your cultural traditions or tailor the ceremony to meet accessibility needs? I’m here for you!
A rehearsal if you’re having one in London (within the M25) – if not we will do a final check-in either virtually or in person before the day to go over logistics and practise any action-filled bits such as handfasting
Being there for you on your special day – your date is exclusively booked for you. I’ll get there at least 1 hour early to make sure the ceremony space is set up properly, and I’ll officiate your Giddy & Gay ceremony with warmth and love!
Travel within 50 miles of my home in Southwest London – if your location is outside of this, I’ll discuss additional travel costs with you during our initial chat. If your location is more than 2.5 hours’ travel from me, there may also be a charge for overnight accommodation.
