frances celebrates you

What do you offer?

I'm your creative celebrant and wedding hype girl, curating dream ceremonies without limits.

Why do you want to work with the LGBTQ+ community?

Because the LGBTQ+ community is awesome!!! I identify as queer and it's really important to me to make sure that all my LGBTQ+ babes feel represented in an industry that can feel like a sea of heteronormativity.

Allyship

I've stated on my social media that I'm a queer wedding supplier along with my pronouns, and In my first interactions with couples I always ask for their preferred pronouns. I use inclusive language throughout my socials and my website. I tend to avoid gendered terms like bride and groom unless I'm refering to a specific couple. I also love using my Instagram stories to promote other LGBTQ+/inclusive wedding businesses and share LGBTQ+ styled shoots and real weddings to give my couples some great inspo 😊. I will sometimes post pro-LGBT politics to my stories , but I try to keep my socials light, unless something as particularly boiled my blood (fuck the Tories).

As well as weddings, I offer baby Namings, adoption ceremonies, and also transgender renaming ceremonies. I hope in seeing this, LGBTQ+ clients will be confident that I will welcome them in whatever their needs are.

I live in London so in terms of everyday life I'm so I'm lucky to be surrounded by amazing queer spaces and community events and I love supporting queer venues, comedians and drag artists. In previous workplaces I've also headed up the LGBTQ+ initiatives, organising pride events and awareness campaigns.
