Sidekick, by EffingQueen Β· Toronto, ON

Never attend
alone again.

Weddings, galas, dinners, events β€” or just an hour of someone genuinely paying attention. Because life is better when someone shows up with you. Always platonic. Always upfront.

🌻 Always platonic, always upfront β€” see the Safety section for exactly what this is and isn't.
Occasions

What I do

Pick your kind of company.

Four ways to book me, depending on what your day (or event) actually needs.

Wedding plus-one

A steady, presentable date for the wedding you don't want to walk into alone β€” dinner, dancing, small talk with relatives, all handled.

Event companion

Parties, openings, conferences, reunions β€” anywhere a "who's that with you?" is easier to answer with someone actually beside you.

To be direct

This is a platonic companionship service β€” conversation, presence, an arm to hold at an event, a hug hello. It does not include, and I won't discuss or negotiate, anything of a sexual nature. Bookings implying otherwise will be declined and not rebooked.
