Looking for an LGBTQ+-Inclusive Wedding Venue in New Jersey?

Sep 15

When couples ask if Apollo Fields is LGBTQ+-friendly, our answer is simple:

Absolutely.

But to us, being inclusive isn't a marketing statement or a checkbox on a website. It's about creating a place where every couple feels genuinely welcomed, celebrated, and free to have a wedding that reflects who they are.

Your Wedding Should Feel Like Yours

One of the things we love most about intimate weddings is that they naturally leave room for personality.

There isn't a script you have to follow.

You don't have to decide who walks down the aisle first because tradition says so. You don't have to have "his" and "hers" anything. You don't have to fit your relationship into someone else's expectations.

Whether you're planning a ceremony with two brides, two grooms, non-binary partners, or simply creating a wedding that's uniquely your own, we'll meet you where you are.

Our role isn't to tell you how a wedding should look.

Our role is to help create a day that feels authentic to you.

We Believe Hospitality Starts With Respect

Before photography and before Apollo Fields, Terrence and I both worked in hospitality.

The best restaurants don't make people feel like they're being accommodated.

They make people feel like they belong.

That's the philosophy we've carried into every wedding we've photographed and every event we've hosted.

Every couple deserves to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, introducing their families, and celebrating without wondering whether they'll be judged or misunderstood.

That's the environment we've worked hard to create at Apollo Fields.

Love Doesn't Need Editing

Over the years, we've photographed hundreds of weddings.

Some have been deeply traditional. Others have completely rewritten the rulebook.

The common thread has never been the timeline, the flowers, or the seating chart.

It's been two people choosing each other.

That's what we're here to celebrate.

We don't approach LGBTQ+ weddings as something different or separate. They're simply weddings—filled with the same anticipation, joy, nerves, laughter, and emotion that make every celebration meaningful.

Language Matters

One of the simplest ways we try to make couples feel comfortable is by listening.

Rather than making assumptions, we'll ask what names, pronouns, and terms feel right to you.

Maybe you're both "brides." Maybe you're both "grooms." Maybe neither term feels like a fit.

We'll follow your lead.

The same goes for family dynamics, wedding traditions, and anything else that's important to you. Every relationship is different, and we think your wedding should reflect that.

A Celebration That Feels Personal

Apollo Fields was created for couples who care more about meaningful experiences than checking boxes.

We love long dinners, heartfelt conversations, incredible food, thoughtful design, and celebrations that feel relaxed rather than performative.

For many LGBTQ+ couples, that freedom to build a wedding around what feels right—instead of what feels expected—is one of the things that makes an intimate celebration so special.

Whether your day includes a garden ceremony, a candlelit dinner, a packed dance floor, or none of the above, we're here to help bring your vision to life.

Everyone at the Table

One of our favorite parts of every wedding is dinner.

It's the moment when everyone—friends from different chapters of life, chosen family, parents, siblings, coworkers, neighbors—shares the same table.

That's always been our vision for Apollo Fields.

A place where people gather, slow down, tell stories, laugh a little too loudly, stay a little longer than planned, and leave feeling more connected than when they arrived.

Everyone deserves that feeling.
