Inclusive by design, not by afterthought
Most wedding DJs have a script. "Ladies and gentlemen, the bride and groom!" Same patter, same assumptions, same template. That's not how this works. After 2,500+ weddings, I've learned that the best celebrations happen when the DJ actually listens - and when couples don't have to worry about being announced incorrectly or having their relationship squeezed into someone else's box.
Your names and titles
I use exactly what you specify - preferred names, titles, and pronouns. I confirm pronunciations in advance and ensure every announcement feels natural and respectful.
Language that fits
No awkward assumptions about "bride and groom" or traditional roles. Whether you prefer "the happy couple", "partners", your names, or something else entirely - I follow your lead.
Traditions reimagined
Keep what resonates, skip what does not, create something new. From first dances to grand entrances, every element is shaped around what feels right for you. See how other couples have crafted weddings beyond tradition.
Hosting to match you
Warm and elegant, or minimal mic time - your call. I can be a visible, energetic host or a subtle presence that keeps things flowing without drawing attention. Learn more about how hosting differs from typical DJ services.
How the planning works
Planning conversations happen at your pace, with questions designed to understand your vision rather than impose one. Here is what to expect.
Initial conversation
A relaxed call or Zoom where we discuss your vision, your venue, and any specific needs. This is about understanding what matters to you - not a sales pitch.
Detailed questionnaire
You will receive a comprehensive questionnaire covering everything from music preferences to how you want to be introduced. It includes specific fields for names, titles, and pronouns.
Love Story questionnaires
If you choose the Love Story narration, you each complete separate questionnaires about how you met, your favourite memories, and what makes your relationship special. I craft these into a narrative that honours your unique journey.
Review and refine
Before your day, we review the timeline, announcements, and any specific wording. Nothing is said that you have not approved.
On the day
Calm coordination, smooth transitions, and a celebration that flows naturally. I handle the details so you can be present with your partner and guests.
Your love story, told your way
The Love Story narration is one of the most personal elements I offer. For LGBTQ+ couples, it is an opportunity to share your journey with guests who may not know the full story - how you met, the moments that defined your relationship, and why today matters.
Your story might include meeting at Pride, connecting through an app, finding each other later in life, or a journey that defies simple description. Whatever your path, I craft it into a narrative that feels authentic and celebratory.
The process is simple: you each complete a questionnaire privately, sharing memories and perspectives. I weave your answers together, finding the humour, the tenderness, and the moments that make your relationship unique. You approve every word before I share it with your guests.

Bringing everyone together
Weddings often bring together people from different parts of your lives - family, friends, colleagues, communities. Some guests may not know each other. Some may come from backgrounds with varying levels of comfort or understanding.
This is where thoughtful ice-breaking makes a real difference. Rather than hoping people mingle naturally, I use subtle techniques that help guests connect over shared interests and genuine conversation.
Wedding party introductions give context and warmth to the important people in your lives. Table activities create natural talking points. The Love Story itself becomes a shared experience that brings the room together.
The goal is simple: by the time the dancing starts, your guests feel like they are part of something, not observers on the outside. Learn more about turning strangers into friends at weddings.
Music and atmosphere
Your music should reflect your taste and your crowd - not wedding DJ clichés or assumptions about what LGBTQ+ couples want to hear.
Curated playlists
Built from your preferences, spanning decades and genres. You control what plays and what does not.
Live crowd reading
I watch your dancefloor and adjust in real time, keeping energy high without forcing it.
First dance flexibility
Your exact version, tested in advance. Or skip it entirely - there is no pressure.
Atmospheric transitions
Ceremony to drinks, dinner to dancing - each moment flows naturally into the next.
2,500+ weddings means I've seen what works and what falls flat. I know when to build energy, when to let the music breathe, and how to read a room that includes your partner's traditional parents and your drag queen best friend. Whether your crowd wants Motown classics, current chart hits, or a carefully curated indie set - I've got it covered.
Comfortable for introverts too
Not everyone wants to be the centre of attention, even at their own wedding. If you prefer a celebration where the focus is on connection rather than spotlight moments, I can help.
- Announcements kept warm and brief
- Mr & Mrs (or your preferred version) as a short seated game with pre-approved questions
- Love Story delivered as a gentle narrative rather than a big reveal
- Ice-breakers that get guests chatting without calling you forward

What matters most
2,500+ weddings hosted. Same-sex couples, non-binary individuals, couples where one or both partners are transgender - each one approached with genuine care, not performative allyship. The process is identical: I ask questions, I listen, I get the details right. Read what couples say about working with someone who actually pays attention.
Not sure if I'm the right fit? Let's have a relaxed conversation. No pressure, no obligation. If it doesn't feel right, I'll tell you - and recommend someone who might be better suited. My guarantee means you're never stuck with the wrong choice.
Frequently asked questions
How do you handle names, titles and pronouns?
I ask for your preferred names, titles and pronouns during our planning process and confirm pronunciations before the day. Every announcement uses exactly what you have specified - no assumptions, no awkward moments.
Can you adapt traditional wedding elements for same-sex couples?
Absolutely. Whether you want to keep some traditions, skip others entirely, or create new ones that feel right for you, I help you design a day that reflects your relationship. There is no template - just what works for you.
What if our families have different comfort levels with our relationship?
This is more common than you might think, and I have experience navigating it sensitively. Ice-breaking activities help guests from different backgrounds connect over shared interests rather than differences. The focus stays on celebrating your love.
Do you have experience with LGBTQ+ weddings?
Yes. I have hosted weddings for same-sex couples, non-binary individuals, and couples where one or both partners are transgender. Each wedding is approached with the same care and personalisation I bring to every celebration.
How do you handle the Love Story for LGBTQ+ couples?
Your Love Story is crafted from separate questionnaires you each complete privately. I weave your answers into a narrative that honours your unique journey - whether you met on an app, through friends, at Pride, or anywhere else. The story celebrates who you are.
What if we want a low-key celebration without traditional formalities?
Many couples prefer this approach. I can keep mic time minimal, focus on creating atmosphere through music, and let the day flow naturally without formal announcements. You set the tone and I follow it.
Can you recommend LGBTQ+ friendly venues?
Yes. I work regularly at venues across Berkshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire that are genuinely welcoming. I can share recommendations based on your style, budget and guest numbers.
What is the difference between you and a typical wedding DJ?
I am a DJ and professional host - I handle the flow as well as the soundtrack. This means coordinating with your venue and suppliers, making warm and personalised announcements, keeping your timeline on track, and ensuring the whole day feels connected rather than a series of separate moments.
Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes. I offer a money-back guarantee because I am confident in the service I provide. If you are not happy, we will make it right.
