I offer Day of Coordination, Planning, Wedding Officiant, and Ceremony Planning services. You can book any combination of these that you might need!

Wedding planning is everything that happens before the wedding while Wedding coordinating is everything that happens during the wedding day in order to ensure that it runs smoothly. Several wedding professionals offer either full-scale planning or just day-of services.

One of many reasons I started Get Gay Married was because I think there are several problems with that structure. Mainly, if I am coordinating your wedding, I want to know you and your family and your priorities and desired vibes and who your vendors are before I jump in and support you.

On the flip side, this is your wedding! And as overwhelming as wedding planning can be, you should still be the ones to make the decisions.

I like to describe myself as a wedding coordinator that insists on being apart of the wedding planning.

I’m not 100% sure of what you need because I’d like to ask you some questions and get to know you a bit first. However, when working with clients, I usually ask them to think about their venue type.

If you are doing a super DIY wedding at a location without a ton of event infrastructure, booking more of a planner and coordinator is helpful. I would recommend my intermediate or advanced package option for booking my services at that type of venue. However, if you are having your wedding at a hall or somewhere that frequently has weddings, you need more of a coordinator and I would recommend looking at my basic package option.

There is a “too early” but never a “too late”!

I am happy to help at any stage of the wedding process however, I find it most productive and helpful for you to at least have a wedding date and either a few shortlisted venues or a booked venue. It is extremely difficult to book anything without these two details. While I am happy to help with both of those things should you need it, I would recommend at least having some ideas before booking an intake appointment with me!

However, it’s never too late! I am happy to jump on at any point.

In a literal sense, yes. You need to be gay in order to get gay married, what kind of question is that? But in a greater symbolic sense, I like to think that to Get Gay Married means to challenge heteronormative structures of celebrations, marriage, life, and relationships. Maybe your groom is rocking some bi-wife energy, or you have a T4T love affair, or you have a big traditional family and want a big traditional wedding without god in it. To Get Gay Married means you can do whatever the fuck you want.

And, while straight people have the entire wedding industry and I am doing this for the gays, I think it also might be important to consider the friends and family you have attending. If you are a straight couple and have queer friends or family and would like to plan your wedding in a way that is safe and welcoming for them, I would be really excited to help you do that as well.

If you head over to the services page, you’ll see an approximation of my services and packages. However, every single package is customizable to fit your needs. I usually price my work to about $50 an hour. The only time that rate goes up is if I am booked for over 8-10 hours a day for wedding planning and coordination.

I am also willing to work within a budget if you would like to name your price, I can give you an understanding of what I feel comfortable providing for that amount.

Finally, I offer a sliding scale as well as payment plans on all packages and bookings should you and your partner need them! I am super flexible and I want you to have an amazing wedding and I also really want to be apart of it, so I am happy as a clam to work with you in whatever capacity you might need.

I often describe myself as a deeply unserious person that is deeply serious about a lot of stuff. I like to blend humor and joy with collaboration and focus. With me, you’re going to get a buddy. I am always rooting for you and your community and I will always do my best to make whatever you want to happen, happen.

I am not afraid to be honest if I think something won’t work or will be difficult but, if it’s important to you, then it’s important to me and we’ll figure out a way to make it happen.

My creativity lies in my ability to creatively manage people and events, so while there WILL be spreadsheets and everything WILL start as close to on time as possible, expect someone who is also willing to make your grandpa wait for dinner so you and your boo can take a second to breathe, while also cracking a joke about how your cousin sniffled too loud during your vows. I will get everyone down that aisle and sure as hell be waiting at the end of it with a cocktail for both of ya.

To be honest, I am not an industry professional. I was an English teacher for several years and now I am a theater artist and do wedding work part time. I have honestly not spent a ton of time looking to other planners or officiants because I am not quite interested in what they are doing.

And while I have over 20 weddings under my belt, I was also in a wedding party enough times to know that there are parts of the wedding industry that are just insufferable for queer or non-traditional couples. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve googled “gay bachelor party decorations not rainbows” and came up with nothing. Which is one of the main reasons I decided to do this on my own. I knew what my friends and I needed and decide to become that for other people.

I operate on honesty and joy. I want you to get what you want and I want your wedding to be smooth and I want you to have a gorgeous day, whatever that means for you. Overall, there aren’t any rules for wedding planning, so let’s throw caution to the wind and get gay married dude!!!!!
