Dancing With Her Partnerships
A partnership with Dancing With Her is an opportunity to put your business in front of a group that is often otherwise left unrepresented within the wedding space. We are a wedding publication like no other. We are creative and diverse. We care about sharing stories of love authentically. We will amplify the voices of the LGBTQ+ community and empower people planning their weddings to do it in a way that feels ‘right’ for them, expectations out of the window.
We are proudly independent.
We are proudly LGBTQ+ women-owned and led.

About Dancing With Her
we BELIEVE IN shaping the wedding industry to be be a more inclusive space where all love is celebrated, authentically.
We’ve been around since 2016, when we (Arlia and Tara, hi, nice to meet you) got engaged. We struggled to find the wedding inspiration we wanted – something beautiful, modern and something that gave us the ‘feels.’ But, what we found was queer wedding inspiration that was more celebratory of sexuality than it was the love stories behind it.
That’s where Dancing With Her was born. And since, we’ve shared more than 1.2k queer love stories, we’ve stood on stages across the world talking about our mission towards a more inclusive wedding industry. We’ve even landed a Forbes 30 under 30 award and spoke on their stage about the positive changes we’ve made to the wedding industry.
We’ve also released 10 print magazines, and 1 coffee table ‘mook’ (magazine meets hardcover book) and sent it to tens of thousands of lovers across more than 40 countries.
And, we’ve built the world’s biggest online community of LGBTQ+ humans who are wildly in love and planning a real celebration (read: wedding, elopement or something else just as special) because they finally see themselves represented in the wedding space.

BECAUSE LOVE IS LOVE
Our (Queer) Community
Photography by Riley Glenn
Here’s who we will market your business to so that you land your dream clients.
Our audience spans across the relationship lifeline, which means we’re top of mind for LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary folk as soon as the thought of putting a ring on it (or not, engagement rings aren’t for everyone) starts creeping in.
Our community is mainly made up of women and nonbinary folk who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. We’re also seeing a steady increase in allies of the queer community from all different diversities using our platform to connect with inclusive wedding pros.
Why?
Because something we’ll scream from the rooftops (until the end of time) is that you should put your values first in wedding planning. Which means working with vendors who are supportive and celebratory of the communities that mean most to them.
Our community is mostly between 25-35 and they’re not afraid to redefine weddings. Often prioritizing what feels right as opposed to what’s expected. While many love intimate celebrations or elopements, there are certainly many who choose to go all out for their wedding day.
They’re located across the world, although most are located within the United States, Australia, and the UK.

I think the difference between advertising with Dancing With Her and other magazines is that it doesn’t just feel like a transaction. It’s not a box ticked and an invoice paid, but a relationship that continues to grow as we work together and support each other, creating a network within the industry.

But, Why?
Why Should You Partner with Dancing With Her?
There’s a reason why some of our partners have been with us since the beginning. When you partner with Dancing With Her you’re entering into a partnership – we aren’t about taking your money and then not checking in until the next invoice is due.
Aside from being the world’s biggest platform for LGBTQ+ people to share their love stories in an authentic and celebratory way, there are a few perks to being a part of our community.

The Right Audience
as in, they’re looking for wedding pros
The Dancing With Her community is wedding planning. And, they’re looking for wedding pros who they don’t have to ask the dreaded (and far too common) question; “We’re in a queer relationship. Is that okay?” There aren’t enough directories filled with truly inclusive wedding pros.
While we catch them at all stages of their relationship, we predominantly have a community of engaged LGBTQ+ lovers who come to us looking for both inspiration in their wedding planning journey, and connection to inclusive wedding pros who they won’t experience discrimination with.
A Curated List of (Incredible) Wedding Pros
WE TRULY MEAN INCREDIBLE
We don’t just partner with everyone. We only want to connect our community to the world’s very best wedding pros. And so, our directory is curated to be just that.
It’s also curated in a sense of, we won’t accept businesses into the directory who we don’t think we’d be able to genuinely help. We care about your business, and we want you to land dream clients and get that return on investment that you’re looking for.

Inclusivity Training
because we want to give you all the tools
Obviously, when you partner with us, you’re trying to connect with an LGBTQ+ audience. We want you to feel your most confident when working specifically with LGBTQ+ clients. And so, we’ve put everything we know about working with, and marketing to, the queer community into an easy to digest (2.5 hour) course – which you get access to at no additional cost. It literally covers everything.
Plus, once you’ve completed the training, we’ll add a fancy schmancy badge to your profile to let people know that you’ve gone the extra mile to truly be an inclusive wedding pro.
Marketing Resources
let us amplify your brand
We’ve been exclusively marketing to the LGBTQ+ community for 8+ years now, and we’ve learnt a thing or two. We’re consistently upskilling, in all aspects of marketing wedding businesses. Fun fact, we have a great direct relationship with Meta (aka Facebook and Instagram) and land plenty of opportunities, and get exclusive education directly from there.
We aren’t gatekeeping our best marketing know-how. In fact, once a month we’ll land in your inbox with a brand new masterclass on a topic that’ll help your wedding business fly.

Monthly Check Ins
because its a working relationship
On top of the monthly marketing masterclasses, we’ll drop into your inbox with an email that’s exclusive to our partners. It’s a check-in with new opportunities and a reminder to update us with new stories. We might share some wins our partners have had, some stories we’ve shared that feature a partner (or partners), or anything else that we think you ought to know.
Like we said, it’s a partnership and you’ll be a part of the community.

Here’s what the
Wedding Pros are Saying
JAMES WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY
I didn’t just book an amazing dream elopement (in the first week) but I have grown as a vendor. This community makes sense on so many levels, not just the financial aspect of getting dream weddings and elopements, but in terms of bettering an industry that needs a lot of support.
EMILY CHELSEA JEWELRY
I’ve loved working with Arlia and Tara over the past six years, they are such wonderful, genuine and cheerful people to partner with; who have sent us some of our favorite clients over the years. It’s always such a treat to work with people you’d actually hang out with in real life- it makes business and work not feel like work at all.
Fox & Kin
So many amazing couples have found me through the Dancing With Her directory and magazine over the last seven years and it’s allowed me to grow my business in the direction I’ve always wanted. I’m so proud to be a Dancing With Her partner. They’ve taught me so much and I continue to be inspired and encouraged by them.
Sara Hannagan was the very first supplier we contacted. We’d seen her work on Dancing With Her and knew we wanted to work with her from the beginning. We actually changed our wedding date so we could book Sara! She was so invested from the very beginning, super easy to work with, really lovely, inclusive, hardworking and most importantly super talented at what she does.
