We know that wedding planning can be a daunting and stressful experience but, NEWS FLASH, it doesn't have to be! Not anymore because The Un-Wedding Show is back in town! London town… Shoreditch, to be exact! We aim to put the ‘party’ into your wedding planning because it’s a special time and it should be fun!
The Un-Wedding Show is back this summer, by popular demand, after successfully touring the biggest UK cities in 2019 and connecting over 130 of the UK’s coolest independent wedding suppliers with over 4500 modern couples
Our show is THE place TO BE whether you have very specific ideas or no ideas, or you said ‘YES’ yesterday and haven’t had the time to even begin thinking about planning your wedding.
We’ve got you!

A Wedding Fair For Couples Who Hate Wedding Fairs!
We are miles away from the traditional wedding exhibitions. The suppliers at The Un-Wedding Show are carefully curated especially for our modern couples whose personal style does not align with the traditional default cookie-cutter off-the-shelf weddings. This is a HI NRG and intimate wedding fair celebrating individuality, personal style, and inclusion. You won’t find any weight loss supplement pushers or teeth whitening stalls at our show, only the UK’s most unique, independent wedding suppliers showcasing their beautiful creative skills and helping you plan a day that’s bespoke to you!
It all started with a blog and a humble dream to inspire modern couples to make their weddings more about themselves and who they are as a couple, instead of spending tons of money to pay homage to outdated traditions so as not to upset anyone or because they were struggling to find alternative suppliers in the traditional wedding industry.
Our goal is to give our couples more freedom of choice and an encouraging push to personalise and tailor-make their weddings. We know how hard it can be to find something untraditional in the wedding industry so we are bringing you all together under one roof to make your wedding planning easier, less stressful, and more fun!

London’s Alternative Wedding Fair For Modern Couples
Our London show is always a thriving success and truly reflects our unique mission with a buzzing and thrilling atmosphere - we’ve seen everything from mirrorball mannequins, giant neon flamingos, stilt walking angels and everything else from a giant golden pineapple mobile bar to grazing tables fit for Henry V111!
The Un-Wedding Show is an awesome place for jaw-dropping inspiration. There will be lots of EXCLUSIVE OFFERS making this ‘A MUST’ attend event wherever you are in your wedding planning journey. Let’s put it this way - if you only choose to go to one wedding fair, make it this one!
This year, we are taking over yet another amazing alternative wedding venue - Check out Shoreditch London Wedding Venues. It comes highly recommended to put on your venues list! Based in the heart of East London this venue is a perfect black canvas for modern couples to design their personalised wedding at.

What To Expect At The Un-Wedding Show
You will not only be able to meet awe-inspiring suppliers and plan your dream wedding but you can also boogie along in summer sun with a live DJ and boozy refreshments courtesy of The Hush Club Disco! We’re sure you’ll be queueing to book them for your festival-style wedding! Why? They will be spinning the tunes in the courtyard, from their massive, sequinned disco trailer which also serves as a cocktail bar! We think enough said here (screams with excitement!).

Here’s just a lil taste of some of the other incredible suppliers on the line-up (listed below) You may want to check them ahead of time to make your decision making the process easier later because * friendly warning * you may want to book THEM ALL after meeting them at the show.
Patchwork - The alternative honeymoon fund and gift registry that takes the awks and ick out of asking for cash! Put together a beautiful and visual Patchwork (kinda like a Pinterest board) and share the link with your friends and family so they choose which part of it they like to gift to you.
Big Red Box - is an audio guest book that’s the exact shape and size of the iconic red telephone box! Forget half-signed guest books, this is so much more fun as it doubles up as entertainment for your guests… and also for you when you get to replay all of the drunken… we mean… heartfelt messages afterwards!
