Austin Company Offers Free Pride Month Weddings for LGBTQ+ Couples

To ring in Pride Month, an Austin-based wedding officiation and event company is offering couples the chance to tie the knot for free.

Broadly Entertainment announced its plan to celebrate Pride Month in June by gifting up to six couples with “micro-weddings.”

The nuptials will take place at ColdTowne Theater in East Austin from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on June 21. Each ceremony will last an hour and accommodate 10 guests.

Services include an officiant, decor, music, photography, snacks and beverages.

Couples interested in applying must submit an application by Saturday and pay a nonrefundable $15 fee. A portion of the fee will go to the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit serving LGBTQ+ youth.

The selected couples will be notified by May 23.

The company wants to expand such services nationally, through a “United States of AmeriQueer Wedding Tour.”

One of the co-founders, Jamie Rosler, is an ordained minister. She has officiated services for interfaith, secular Jewish, atheist and LGBTQ+ couples.

Rosler and Giana DeGeiso, the other co-founder, founded the company in 2017 in New York City. In 2024, Rosler took the primary lead on the company's operations out of Austin.
