On Sunday 18th May 2025, we transformed the iconic Victoria Warehouse in Manchester into a vibrant celebration of love, individuality, and all things untraditional. The Un-Wedding Show Manchester returned with a bang — delivering a fresh, inclusive, and seriously stylish alternative to the usual cookie-cutter wedding fairs.

Forget about tired traditions and stiff formalities — this show is all about celebrating love your way. From inclusive ceremonies and creative styling to unique suppliers, The Un-Wedding Show is a space for those who want to do things differently.
