About the Work

Las Vegas is the “wedding capital of the world,” but not necessarily for LGTBTQ couples. As the largest hotel brand in Vegas, and one with a long history of support for the LGBTQ community, MGM Resorts was on a mission to spread a message of inclusion, showing that Vegas was truly welcoming to all. Throughout the history of music, love songs have almost solely celebrated heterosexual love. These well-known songs don’t reflect the changing definitions of love and marriage, making them harder for same-sex couples to fully embrace and relate to. As a result, these couples had few choices when it came to wedding songs that represent their relationship. As a popular destination for weddings, we realized MGM could help change that. We decided to harness the power of music to bring a message of inclusivity to the world in the most entertaining way possible.
