What do you offer?

I love working with kind-hearted and fun-loving people to create wedding and commitment ceremonies crafted with creativity, fun and heart. My ceremonies are filled with story, personality - the things you actually care about - and they are carefully crafted around the needs of you and your guests to ensure they are inclusive and personal.

Why do you want to work with the LGBTQ+ community?

I grew up in N Ireland in the 80s where discrimination had too much of an influence on our lives in too many ways – including preventing LGBTQ+ people like me from freely expressing love and attraction on our own terms. This influences my approach to creating ceremonies. I centre you as a couple, celebrating all that is personal, unique and authentic in your journey and story.

Allyship

I’m proud to be a LGBTQ+ wedding supplier and passionate about actively evolving the wedding industry and challenging assumptions, attitudes and stereotypes. 

Weddings aside, I'm passionate about inclusion in all its forms, co-creating services and projects and bringing collective voices together for social change. I've also shaped chosen name and affirmation ceremonies together with trans, non-binary and gender expansive clients.

Each year, a portion of my fees are donated to LGBTQ+ charities and grassroots initiatives - such as Pay It Forward shares for Friends of The Joiners Arms (2022), the first Trans Pride Hastings (2023) and Mermaids (2024).
