I specialize in inclusive, detail-driven destination weddings that authentically reflect each couple’s love story. With a deep understanding of LGBTQ+ traditions, challenges, and celebrations, I provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free planning experience from start to finish. From sourcing affirming vendors to designing unforgettable, culturally rich experiences, my work is about more than logistics—it’s about creating space for joy, pride, and personal expression.

As a gay person myself, I know firsthand how powerful and affirming it is to celebrate love that hasn’t always been fully seen or accepted. I’m passionate about working with LGBTQ+ couples because I understand the nuances, the challenges, and—most importantly—the joy of planning a wedding that truly reflects who you are. For me, it’s not just about beautiful flowers and perfect timelines; it’s about creating a space where you feel safe, celebrated, and completely yourself. Helping couples like us create meaningful, authentic wedding experiences is more than a job—it's personal.

My creative approach starts with your story. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all weddings—each celebration should be a reflection of your unique journey, values, and style. I dive deep into understanding who you are as individuals and as a couple, then translate that into personalised, immersive experiences—from the overall aesthetic down to the smallest detail.

Whether it’s blending cultures, honoring traditions, or breaking every rule in the book, I focus on intentional design, thoughtful storytelling, and creating moments that feel meaningful and memorable, not just picture-perfect. Collaboration is key, and I work closely with you and trusted vendors to bring your vision to life in a way that feels effortless to you.

What I love most is being trusted with one of the most important days in people’s lives—and turning it into something unforgettable. I thrive on the energy of creative problem-solving, the joy of designing meaningful experiences, and the privilege of witnessing pure, unfiltered love.

As a gay wedding planner, there's something especially powerful about helping LGBTQ+ couples celebrate their love openly and proudly. Every wedding I plan is a chance to honor identity, connection, and joy—and that’s something I never take for granted. Seeing a couple walk into their dream day, knowing I helped make it happen, is the most rewarding feeling in the world.
