What to expect:
-
A Queer AF wedding that centres love, authenticity and joy! We want all our guests to feel welcome and have a relaxed and fun time.
- A non-traditional wedding with a sprinkle of tradition mixed in to best reflect our relationship, love, values, identities, and life together.
- A full vegan menu, including afternoon refreshments, dinner, and light supper.
- Prosecco, wine, bottled beers and soft drinks will be served during cocktail hour and dinner.

A note about language:
- We are using gender-neutral language around our wedding as much as possible. We are learning with you!
- Keeping our terminology gender-neutral is a simple yet powerful way we can all create a more inclusive and affirming celebration for us and our guests. For example, you can say, “partner”, “spouse”, “couple”, “newlyweds”, etc., instead of other gendered terms.
- If you’re unsure what term or word to use, feel free to ask. There are also many language guides online that can assist you.
