Why Our Suppliers Love the HWN Alternative Wedding Fayre ❤️✨
Traditional wedding fayres don’t always represent everyone—but at HWN Alternative Wedding Fayre, we’re changing that. Our suppliers tell us time and time again how important it is to have a space where all couples feel welcome, and all wedding styles are celebrated.
Here’s why they love being part of our community:
🌿 Inclusivity at the Heart – Whether it’s unconventional themes, LGBTQ+ representation, or budget-friendly options, our fayre embraces every kind of love story.
💡 Space for Creativity – Our suppliers love that they can showcase their work in a way that feels true to them—no pressure to fit a “traditional” wedding mold.
💍 A Supportive Community – We’re all about connection, not competition. Exhibitors build relationships with like-minded vendors and couples who get their vision.
🎉 An Engaged & Excited Crowd – The couples who attend aren’t just browsing—they’re looking for something different, unique, and real. Our suppliers get to meet people who truly appreciate their craft.
If you’re a supplier who wants to be part of a wedding fayre that values inclusivity, creativity, and community, HWN Alternative Wedding Fayre is the place for you! Join us and let’s shake up the wedding industry together!

🖤🦇 Why Hampshire Wedding Network’s ALTERNATIVE Fayre is the Best Alternative Wedding Fayre in Hampshire 🦇🖤
Planning a wedding that truly reflects you shouldn’t be a struggle. That’s why the Hampshire Wedding Network’s ALTERNATIVE Fayre was born—an event designed to help couples find the best alternative suppliers in the South of England.
Unlike others, we started from a genuine passion for helping couples connect with unique, creative, and non-traditional wedding suppliers. This isn’t just about business—it’s about building a community where couples and suppliers come together with a shared vision: making weddings more personal, more fun, and more you.
Our couples trust us because we carefully curate an event that’s exciting, inclusive, and filled with incredible, like-minded suppliers. They know that when they step through our doors, they’re not just attending a wedding fair—they’re becoming part of something different. Something real.
💜 If you’re looking for a wedding that breaks the mould, the Hampshire Wedding Network ALTERNATIVE Fayre is where you need to be. Let’s make wedding planning fun again!
