Wedding Experience at a real wedding venue
    Discover The Wedding Experience

    Free Wedding Fairs in North Wales, Cheshire & Shropshire Without the Overwhelm.

    Real wedding venues. Carefully chosen suppliers. Strict category caps at every event, so you can actually have a proper conversation.

    Strict category caps

    Typically two suppliers, three photographers and one in selected categories at each event.

    A real venue

    Explore somewhere you could actually get married.

    Passport and goodie bag

    Every couple gets a Wedding Experience Passport, and the first 50 couples get a goodie bag.

    Your Wedding Experience Passport

    Every couple who comes through the door gets one. Collect 10 stamps from our suppliers as you go round, then hand it in to enter the wedding prize draw. It also has special offers and a QR code to take the day home with you.

    Goodie bags for the first 50 couples at each event: a reusable tote with useful bits and a few treats, not a pile of leaflets.

    Not your usual wedding fayre

    Why couples choose The Elite Wedding Experience

    We love a wedding fayre. We just think your Sunday afternoon deserves a little better than a sports hall and a free pen.

    A typical fayre

    • Row upon row of photographers, all saying the same thing
    • Crowded aisles and a carrier bag of leaflets
    • No real plan for your afternoon
    • You leave tired and none the wiser

    The Elite Wedding Experience

    • Strict category caps — typically two suppliers, three photographers and one in selected categories
    • Goodie bags for the first 50 couples: a reusable tote, not a pile of flyers
    • 10-stamp passport with a prize draw at the end
    • The Ask Cara station — come with questions, leave with a plan
    • Featured suppliers and show-day offers
