Planning a wedding and looking for something a little different – or very different? The Quirky Weddings Alternative Wedding Fair was created with you in mind! The fair returns to the Waterfront Hall on Sunday September 24th(12-5pm).

What’s so different about the Alternative Wedding Fair? Saima Akram of Quirky Weddings says

“For a start we hand pick our exhibitors! We have always sold out all the spaces at our fairs so we started taking applications and choosing who best suited the personality of the event. We generally get over 200 applications for the approx 120 spaces. We look for creativity, quality and people who love what they do.”

Cate Conway, the other half of Quirky Weddings says

“Visitors can expect to see a fantastic range of vendors. There will be slick suits, creative photography, massive light up letters, a choo choo train barbecue, dreamy dresses, jewellers who can help you make your own rings, incredible cakes, unusual venues and much more. We’ve chosen vendors who are on trend, friendly and excellent at what they do. Expect Insta-worthy ideas for your day!

We have just announced our exhibitor list on our website, quirkyweddings.co.uk, so couples can get a head start on their research! We find lots of couples are quite strategic and make a list of who they want to speak to and come ready to make a bee-line for the companies they are particularly keen to meet! You can feel free to browse at your leisure too though, it’s a ‘no pressure’ event. We don’t like hard sell.”

Doors open at 12 noon and the Quirky Weddings girls suggest you get there early. Not only is there a lot to see but also the first 500 visitors will get in half price. (Regular admission is £7)

There will also be copies of the new edition of the  Quirky Weddings free Alternative Wedding Directory ‘The Book’ available so don’t forget to look for it as you leave!
