This event is designed to cater to same-sex couples who are planning to get married.
Couples can enjoy a private, creative, and unique experience, at the Wellbeing Farm, in Edgworth including a ceremony involving llamas.
Following a highly successful event last year WEDFEST is back at The Wellbeing Farm, on June 29 between 12 pm and 3 pm.
This time, WEDFEST -PRIDE in Your Wedding focuses on single sex weddings so if you are planning an LGBTQ+ ceremony, you can access a range of diverse range of suppliers catering exclusively to you.
This event emphasises the importance of individuality and diversity, warmly welcoming everyone, including those who are disabled or transgender.
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet amazing suppliers and enjoy top-tier entertainment, including a full hour of live performances followed by a bingo event hosted by Glenn, aka That Celebrant Guy -all for free.
This fair comes right after Life’s a Drag , another exciting event on June 20. Drag queen Diana Dogood will deliver a night filled with cabaret, comedy, and chaos. Guests are encouraged to don their most fabulous sequins, feathers, or glittery outfits for the occasion, which has a ticket cost of £35.
Both events celebrate the beauty of difference and pride in identity.
Celia Gaze, founder of the Wellbeing Farm, said, “Conscious weddings are an extension of wellbeing. We need to focus on what the couple truly loves and desires for their special day, rather than conforming to societal expectations.
“This philosophy encourages us to create events that are authentic and meaningful to those being celebrated.”
"In a society where everyone pressures you to get married in a lavish white wedding dress that you've only tried on once, and where you must invite your mother’s best friends, whom you refer to as 'aunties,' weddings often become about pleasing others. You might have a few of your friends present, but the majority of attendees are relatives you barely know. "
She added: "For me, conscious weddings allow us to focus on what a couple truly values. What do they love to eat? What activities do they enjoy? What type of music do they prefer?
"What atmosphere do they want to create? By stripping away the unnecessary expectations, we can centre the event around the couple and their unique preferences, rather than the opinions of others, so you can live your best event ever."
Glenn added: "Your day should reflect you because you’re awesome. Do you want something fun, vibrant, authentic, and bespoke? I am going to make that happen for you."
