1. Vetted, Inclusive, and Affirming Suppliers

We know that "ticking a box" isn't enough. Every single wedding supplier exhibiting at Rebel Love has been fully vetted and has completed our bespoke LGBTQ+ Inclusivity Training.

When you speak to a photographer, a florist, or a stationer at our fair, you don't have to worry about "coming out" or explaining your pronouns. You are in a safe and affirming space where the professionals truly understand and celebrate queer joy.

2. Not Just for Bristol Marriers

While we love our Bristol home, you don’t need to be local to find your dream team at our LGBTQ+ Wedding Fair! 90% of our exhibitors travel across the UK, with many offering international services.

National Reach: Find suppliers who cover the North, South, East, and West.
Destination Ready: Connect with pros who are ready to fly or drive to wherever you’re saying "I do."

3. A Venue Designed for Everyone

Accessibility and comfort are at the heart of what we do. We want you to spend your day inspired, not stressed.

Gender-Free Toilets: Our facilities are gender-neutral because everyone deserves to feel comfortable in every part of our space.
Physical Accessibility: The venue features a step-free entrance and an accessible toilet.
On-Hand Support: There is a small ramp across two steps in the middle of the venue. To make things easy, we will have a dedicated "Volunqueer" stationed there at all times to assist you if needed.

If you have any specific accessibility requests please drop us an email to directory@rebelloveclub.co.uk so we can see how we can help.

4. Refuel with Bristol’s Best

We’ve teamed up with some local legends to keep you caffeinated and fed:

Radical Roasters: Serving up the best ethical coffee and tea.
Amy Grace: Amy (the founder of Ahh Toots!!) will be on-site with a selection of her famous cakes and snacks.

Need a moment to process all the inspiration? We have a dedicated chill-out space inside, as well as a beautiful outdoor courtyard for some fresh air (fingers crossed for sunshine!).

5. Who is Rebel Love For?

Our mission is to centre LGBTQ+ to-be-weds, but our doors are open to everyone here at our LGBTQ+ wedding fair.

Queer & Trans Couples/Lovers: This space was built for you.
Straight Allies: If you are in a straight-facing relationship but want to ensure your wedding budget supports the queer community and inclusive businesses, you are very welcome. We love seeing allies choose suppliers who champion equality!
