Love is Love – Let's Celebrate Yours

"Some of my favourite wedding memories have come from working with LGBTQ+ couples who wanted something that felt real, fun, and completely personal."

What Is a Love Story?

Every love story deserves to be told—and told brilliantly. Whether you met in a pub or a politics lecture, on a dog walk or through DMs, your story is unique. It deserves its moment in the spotlight.

The Love Story is a personalised, live-performed narrative of your relationship—told through the details you give me separately, without seeing each other's answers. The result? Something surprising, hilarious, emotional, and completely your own. It's a wedding moment your guests will never forget—and neither will you.

Here's a fictional example from two grooms in their 30s:

🎙️ The Love Story of Tom & Luca

Tom met Luca at a friend's Eurovision party. Luca arrived in full sequins and zero chill. Tom was wearing jeans and had no idea what was going on. By the time Finland's entry lit a fake piano on fire, they were already deep in conversation about childhood cartoons and who would play them in a biopic. (Luca said "Zac Efron but gayer". Tom said "Maybe... Paddington?")

They didn't exchange numbers. Tom chickened out. But Luca found him on Instagram via "mutual friends and light stalking" within 48 hours.

Their first date was at a rooftop bar where Tom knocked over his drink within 90 seconds. Luca pretended not to notice—until Tom apologised four times and tried to pay for the whole evening. Luca said, "You're nervous, aren't you?" Tom nodded. Luca grinned.

The moment it got real? Maybe when Tom caught Covid and Luca dropped off home-cooked soup and a handmade crossword. Or when Luca had a work crisis and Tom sat on a late-night Zoom with him just to say, "You've got this." Either way, it stopped being casual—and started being home.

The proposal? Luca went big. Flash mob. Rooftop. 27 friends holding signs. Tom cried. Then panicked and asked if he was expected to dance. (He wasn't.)

Tom says Luca is electric. Brave. Endlessly supportive. Luca says Tom is the calm in the chaos, the reason he's braver than he used to be, and the best part of every ordinary day.

Together, they're the perfect duet: chaotic harmony with matching socks (most of the time).

Wedding Party Introductions for LGBTQ+ Weddings

A fabulous, joyful celebration of your chosen family and the people who matter most.

What Are They?

They're customised, story-driven introductions delivered just before your Grand Entrance. Whether you're a bride & bride, groom & groom, or any beautiful combination thereof—these intros help the room see your wedding party the way you see them: hilarious, loyal, iconic.

We don't do cookie-cutter here. These aren't stiff announcements. These are warm, often cheeky, sometimes tear-jerking mini-celebrations that honour the people who've helped you laugh, cry, love, and become who you are.

When Do They Happen?

Just before your Grand Entrance into the wedding breakfast. Right after guests are seated. It's a fabulous, unexpected moment that gets people clapping, connecting, and buzzing with joy.

Why LGBTQ+ Weddings Love Them

Your wedding is a celebration of identity, chosen family, and uniqueness. These intros are a chance to say, "These are our people." And to do it in a way that's theatrical, inclusive, and unforgettable.

Sample Introductions

Here's how we might celebrate your wedding party...

Mx. Freddie & Tash

Tone: Bold & brilliant Music: "Supermodel" – RuPaul

MC INTRO (spoken):

"They are power, presence, and perfectly sculpted brows.
One's a non-binary fashion stylist with a playlist for every mood, and the other once crowd-surfed at Glastonbury while quoting Oscar Wilde.
They're the ultimate hype team, stylist squad, and glitter distribution network for today's grooms.
Make some serious noise for the most fabulous friends you'll ever meet…"

MUSIC CUE: (RuPaul drops, crowd cheers)

[They strut in like it's Paris Fashion Week, and we're just lucky to be here.]

Hannah

Tone: Sentimental sass Music: "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" – Cyndi Lauper

MC INTRO (spoken):

"She's been the bride's best friend since GCSE Art, where she accidentally superglued her own fringe.
She's the queen of pep talks, punny texts, and turning up with snacks and wine.
She's cried more today than at her own graduation, and we are so here for it.
Please welcome the ultimate maid of honour, and emotional support human…"

MUSIC CUE: (Cyndi kicks in)

[She bounces in, hugging everyone in reach, mascara already questionable.]

Dean & Priya

Tone: Fierce & funny Music: "Rain On Me" – Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande

MC INTRO (spoken):

"They met in a bar queue arguing about oat milk, and have been inseparable ever since.
He's got a heart of gold and a handbag collection that could fund a small country.
She once fake-proposed to get out of an awkward Tinder date.
Together, they've championed today's couple through every joy, every wobble, and every late-night group chat.
They're your next best mates if you're lucky—please welcome…"

MUSIC CUE: (Rain On Me hits, drama levels high)

[They twirl in, arms raised like victorious drag queens at a lip-sync battle.]
