💍Why I Love Being a Gay Celebrant – Every Month, Not Just for Pride

Hello, lovely humans!

There’s something magical about standing at the front of a ceremony space, looking out at two people bursting with love, excitement, nerves, and joy—and knowing I get to help shape one of the most memorable moments of their lives.

As a proud gay man and a wedding celebrant, I often get extra attention during Pride Month—and I love the rainbows, the community, and the visibility. But honestly? My passion for celebrating love isn’t confined to June. It’s a 365-days-a-year kind of thing.

🌈 Love Is Love (And It’s My Favourite Thing to Celebrate)

When I became a celebrant, it wasn’t just about conducting weddings—it was about creating spaces where people feel seen, safe, celebrated, and truly themselves. For LGBTQ+ couples, that can be particularly powerful. Too often, queer love has been asked to shrink itself, hide, or seek approval. I say—not here. Not on my watch.

Here, your love takes centre stage. Loud. Proud. Joyful. And unapologetically you.

Whether it’s two grooms walking down the aisle hand-in-hand, two brides declaring their vows in matching leather jackets, or a non-binary couple dancing down the aisle to Beyoncé—I’m all in. I live for the colour, the creativity, the emotion, and the pure, unfiltered celebration.

💕 But I Don’t Only Officiate LGBTQ+ Weddings

Love doesn’t come in just one style, shape, or spectrum. And thank goodness for that! I absolutely love working with all couples—queer, straight, loud, shy, sparkly, traditional, unconventional… If you’re fun-loving, genuine, and looking to make your ceremony meaningful and a little bit magical, we’re going to get on very well.

Your gender or sexual orientation doesn’t matter to me. Your love does.

Are you giggly and sentimental? Let’s get emotional. Are you silly and playful? I’ll bring the humour.

Are you non-traditional and bold? Say no more—I’m already planning something fabulous.

🕺 What Matters Most? The Vibe.

To me, the perfect couple isn’t a certain gender, identity, or aesthetic. The perfect couple is two people who are wildly in love and want their ceremony to reflect that. If you’re looking to bring a bit of personality, laughter, soul, and sparkle to your big day—I’m your guy.

I want you to walk away from your ceremony saying:

“That felt like us.”

“That was fun!”

“I didn’t want it to end!”

❤️ Let’s Make Wedding Magic Together

Whether you’re a same-sex couple looking for a celebrant who just gets it, or a straight couple wanting a ceremony full of personality and joy—I'm here for you.

I don’t just celebrate LGBTQ+ love because I’m part of the community—I celebrate it because I believe in all love. Real love. Messy love. Joyful love. And the kind of love that makes you laugh-cry in front of 100 guests.

So yes—Pride Month is wonderful. But my love for this work, pride in my community, my eagerness to celebrate love in all it guises and the beautiful humans I get to meet through it, stretches across every month. Every season. Every love story. Every heartbeat!

Here’s to love. Here’s to laughter. And here’s to unforgettable ceremonies—no matter who you are or who you love.

With pride (always),
