A wedding fair for people who do not usually enjoy wedding fairs. Timed entry, suppliers open about pricing, no hard sell.

Not the usual wedding fair.

Planning a wedding is lovely in theory. In practice it can mean hidden prices, pushy stands, and that quiet feeling you're being judged for your budget. The My Wedding Vibe Showcase is built as the opposite of that.

What couples get:

• A balanced mix of Dorset suppliers, each one checked by a real person

• Suppliers who are open and candid about pricing, so you can plan without the awkward ask

• No hard selling. Browse, chat, take your time

• Every wedding welcome. Small, big, quiet, loud, 20 guests or 200

This event uses timed entry. Choose the hour that suits you: 11:00, 12:00, 13:00 or 14:00. Each slot runs for an hour, and you're welcome to stay on and browse afterwards.

14:00 is our Quiet Hour, designed for neurodivergent, disabled and anxious guests: lower music, no tannoy announcements, and a calmer, less crowded room. Everyone is welcome at Quiet Hour, not just those who need it.

Tickets are £5 per wedding party, covering up to 4 adults, plus the Eventbrite booking fee. Under-16s are free. Your ticket includes the printed Showcase guide: every supplier in the room, with starting prices where suppliers share them, so you leave with a shortlist, not a bag of confusion.

Come overwhelmed. Leave with a shortlist.

What suppliers said about our previous Dorset fairs: "Great atmosphere, great suppliers, and the room was laid out beautifully. Lots of meaningful conversations." · "A really nice vibe. Every exhibitor and every couple was relaxed and friendly."
