How It Works

Here’s a clear breakdown of how the Drag Queen Wedding Crasher act works — from arrival and setup to the iconic “It Should Have Been Me!” entrance and the unforgettable reactions that follow.

Before the Day

Once your booking is confirmed, Your Wedding Crasher will gather a few key details about your wedding — the venue, timings, your DJ or sound provider, and the best moment for the surprise entrance. They keep everything discreet so the act remains a complete shock to your guests.

Sound & Music Requirements

To keep the surprise intact, the performer can not bring any sound equipment. The venue or DJ must provide:

  • A working PA or sound system
  • A way to play the track “It Should Have Been Me” (MP3, laptop, DJ deck, etc.)
  • A cue point so the performer can enter at the perfect moment

This ensures the act blends seamlessly into your wedding without drawing attention beforehand.

Arrival & Preparation

The Drag Queen Wedding Crasher arrives quietly at the venue, usually 30–60 minutes before the planned entrance. They may:

  • Arrive fully dressed and ready
  • Or use a private room to get into costume

The performer stays out of sight until the exact moment the music begins.

Choosing the Perfect Moment

The entrance can happen at almost any point in your day — the key is that it feels unexpected. Popular choices include:

  • Just after the speeches
  • During the mock signing of the register
  • At the start or end of the first dance
  • During the cake cutting
  • Or simply when the room is relaxed and unsuspecting

When the music starts, the performer bursts into the room and the surprise begins.

The Act Itself

As “It Should Have Been Me” plays, the drag queen moves through the room, interacting with guests, playfully teasing the groom, and creating a hilarious, high‑energy moment that fills the room with laughter. The act is fun, cheeky and completely wedding‑friendly.

The performance usually lasts the duration of the song, though this can vary depending on your chosen performer.

After the Performance

Once the song ends, the performer typically leaves the room to maintain the surprise effect. They may return shortly afterwards for:

  • Photos with the bride and groom
  • Group shots with guests
  • A quick meet‑and‑greet

This gives you a chance to capture the moment forever.
