Welcome to Quirky Weddings – where individuality reigns, and traditions are yours to rewrite!
Founded in 2019 by multi-award-winning wedding planner Lily Jones, Quirky Weddings has grown into the UK’s largest alternative wedding fayre, championing inclusivity, accessibility, fun, and uniqueness.
Our mission? To shake up the wedding industry and empower couples to celebrate their love their way.
We’re proud to be part of the positive shift making the wedding industry more diverse and accepting. Progress has been made, but there’s still work to do, and we’re here to push boundaries and break stereotypes.
WHAT DOES 'QUIRKY' MEAN?
We get this question all the time! While ‘quirky’ can mean weird, wacky, and wonderful, to us, it’s an ethos – a celebration of uniqueness, self-expression, and open-mindedness. Quirky Weddings isn’t just about being different; it’s about creating a space where every couple, no matter their style, feels seen, accepted, and free to design a wedding that reflects who they truly are.
That’s why all our Approved Quirky Wedding Suppliers, whether bold and eccentric or more traditionally elegant, share our values of inclusivity and respect. When you visit a Quirky Wedding Fayre, you’re stepping into a judgment-free zone filled with passionate suppliers who embrace every idea with excitement and open hearts.
So next time you visit a Quirky Wedding Fayre, know that every supplier has been handpicked for their welcoming mindset and inclusive approach. Quirky is more than a word – it’s a family, and we welcome you with open arms.
Your Day, Your Way – Always.

The Quirky Wedding Awards are the UK’s only alternative wedding awards, celebrating the incredible suppliers who champion inclusivity, accessibility, and individuality. The awards shine a spotlight on creative businesses often overlooked by traditional wedding industry awards.
Created in 2023, winners are chosen through a unique secret shopper process, assessing inclusivity, sustainability, customer service, and uniqueness. Hundreds of applicants compete across 20 categories, with finalists gathering for an unforgettable awards night each year.
Each awards ceremony sees industry experts, previous winners, and sponsors—including crafting giant Cricut UK—honor the best in alternative weddings. Our awards prove that wedding traditions are evolving, and the future is fabulously quirky! So if you see a supplier sporting a winner, highly commended or finalist badge for our awards, you will know that they are your kind of people!
