The Quirky Wedding Fayre SUFFOLK

7+ years of turning wedding planning into a party… long before it was a trend 🎪

Think live music, street food, glitter, circus performers and zero judgement.

If the idea of a “traditional wedding fair” makes you want to run for the hills… you’ve just found your people 💜

Welcome to Suffolk at the incredible Food Museum!

Our fayres often sell out in advance, so prebooking is the best way to guarantee your spot.

👉 No ticket = no guarantee of entry
👉 It takes 30 seconds to secure your place

Our events also rely on advance bookings to go ahead. If numbers are too low in the lead-up, we may have to cancel ahead of time.

👉 Even if lots of people are planning to come on the day, we have no way of knowing that without bookings.

💜 So if you’re thinking of coming, please grab your ticket now!

🎪 Around 30 incredible, handpicked wedding suppliers
🎶 Live music & performers
🌮 Street food & drinks
💍 Inclusive, creative suppliers who do things differently

This is wedding planning… but actually fun!

We’ve been running alternative wedding fairs for 7+ years, creating inclusive, accessible spaces for couples who want something a little (or a lot) different.
