The Quirky Wedding Awards are the UK’s first and only alternative wedding awards, created to shine a spotlight on the incredible, inclusive, and innovative businesses that make the alternative wedding industry so remarkable. Founded by Quirky Weddings in 2023, the Awards were born from a simple but powerful mission: to celebrate those who break the mould, embrace diversity, and create unforgettable wedding experiences free of judgement.
Now entering their third year, the Quirky Wedding Awards honour outstanding suppliers who are not just creative but are also champions of inclusivity, accessibility, sustainability, and exceptional customer service. These Awards were designed to recognise the trailblazers and visionaries who help couples craft weddings that are as unique as their love stories.


CELEBRATING THE BEST INCLUSIVE WEDDING SUPPLIERS AT THE UK'S FIRST & ONLY ALTERNATIVE WEDDING AWARDS!
The judging process is rigorous and inspiring. Industry experts use a secret shopper method, evaluating suppliers through their websites, social media, and client reviews, ensuring that winners are chosen for their genuine dedication to excellence and individuality.

THE NATIONAL FINAL
More than just an awards night, the Quirky Wedding Awards are a celebration of community. Finalists and guests enjoy an unforgettable evening of entertainment, from circus performers and neon crazy golf to glitter bars and interactive drag shows. But beyond the glitz and fun, these Awards are a powerful platform that amplifies the voices of businesses who are redefining the wedding industry.
All Winners at the National Final will receive:
A winners trophy to display
A digital winners badge
Social media coverage and Press release
A year's free featured listing on our directory
An article in Quirky Weddings Magazine
A complimentary stand at a 2025 Quirky Wedding Fayre of your choice
All Finalists will receive:
A digital finalists badge
Social media coverage
A goody bag (if you attend the National Final ceremony)

At the heart of the Quirky Wedding Awards is an unwavering commitment to a zero-judgement ethos. Whether a supplier is flamboyant and bold or understated and elegant, they are celebrated for their authenticity and their commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for all couples. Quirky Weddings is more than just a brand – it’s a movement, a promise, and a community.
Join us in celebrating those who dare to be different and those who turn ‘I do’ into a statement of love, individuality, and joy.
