The UK’s boldest, queerest, most inclusive wedding fair is back and this time, we’re bringing it home to Bristol.
If you’ve ever walked into a traditional wedding fair and felt invisible, underestimated, or just completely disconnected from the hyper-hetero wedding world… welcome to the exact opposite.
This Bristol wedding fair is a celebration of queer joy, diverse love stories, and the beautiful, messy, magical ways we choose each other.
Rebel Love Wedding Fair isn’t “inclusive” because it’s trendy. It’s inclusive because we built it for us - LGBTQ+ couples & to-be-weds, queer joy seekers, allies who actually show up, and anyone who wants a wedding that feels like them, not a cut and paste job!

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We’re proud to be the only wedding fair in the UK where every single supplier is:
✨ Thoroughly vetted for their LGBTQ+ allyship
✨ Required to attend our LGBTQ+ Inclusivity Training before they can exhibit
✨ Queer-owned or strong, proven allies who walk the walk
We don’t just accept anyone who applies.
We curate. We educate. We protect your joy.
Every exhibitor you meet has been chosen with intention to reflect our community in all its intersections: queer, trans, gender-expansive, disabled, neurodivergent, global majority, working class - everyone is welcome here.
what is rebel love wedding fair?
Rebel Love Wedding Fair was born out of the need for a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ people getting married. As wedding photographers and videographers, we've heard countless horror stories from our Queer clients about their experiences at traditional wedding fairs. From being mistaken for relatives or "best friends getting married on the same day" to being misgendered and facing homophobic micro-aggressions, these stories made it clear that something had to change. We knew we needed to create a safe space for our fellow community.

LGBTQ+ Wedding Fair
our journey
First, we launched Rebel Love Directory, a platform that highlights LGBTQ+ and active ally wedding suppliers. It became a go-to resource for couples and lovers seeking inclusive and supportive vendors for their big day. But we didn’t stop there. We wanted to create an event that would bring this inclusive ethos to life in a vibrant, welcoming environment.

Now, we are thrilled to introduce the first-ever truly inclusive LGBTQ+ wedding fair: Rebel Love Wedding Fair, We're hosting our 3rd event and This isn’t just another wedding fair; it’s a celebration of love and a chance for couples and lovers to meet vendors who genuinely understand and support their needs.
Rebel Love Wedding Fair is designed for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone who wants to support Queer-owned businesses when planning their wedding. It’s a space where you can feel seen, heard, and respected, and where you can connect with suppliers who are not just tolerant but actively inclusive and welcoming.
