My LGBTQIA+ Family

You are loved.

You are celebrated.

You are valued.

A few things to expect from me:

  • Use of gender-inclusive language

  • No assumptions about roles or traditions

  • Celebrating all love stories, identities, and expressions

  • Safety from judgement

  • Vendor recommendations that are queer-friendly

Weddings are meant to be an honest, genuine celebration of ones’ starting their life together- surrounded by people who love, support, and uplift them. Sometimes, that isn’t all they end up being. Sometimes they are a statement to your community that you deserve to love and be loved. Sometimes they are a chance for your family to know more about you and your partner. Sometimes they have to be harder than they are supposed to be.

I know what it is like to have family and friends refuse to attend because of their beliefs. I know what it’s like to make decisions without any idea/inspiration because most people can just go with the traditional wedding choice.

I know the wedding industry isn’t always inclusive for people like us.

It is my goal to give you the wedding experience you deserve. To showcase your love and celebrate it fully and deeply. To advocate for you and cheer you on. To be the person that gets it.

Love, Ally
