frequently asked questions

How do I get the UW member rate?

This is a perk for the Directory Members on our website. They get priority application for all our wedding fairs, as well as, discounts on the price. You can find out more details on how to join us here

What is a remote rate

Even if you can’t join us in person, we want you to be able to promote your wedding business to our couples. For £50 you can put items in our Goody Bags & be included in our Fair Guide. I also need to think of a better name for this so answers on a postcard please! 

How do I make payment for my stand?

We will send you an invoice after we have received your application to exhibit with us & checked that we still have places available. Payment for stands is due in full and upfront unless you are a member where we offer a 30% deposit for fairs more than three months awayOur payment terms are 14 days otherwise your space may be lost.

When will I be able to set up my stand?

Timings vary for each venue but usually set up is from 7am on the day of the fair & you may be required to book a time to drop your items off. Separate arrangements are often available to drop items off in advance. 

All exhibitors will receive full joining instructions, setting out such procedures, approximately 2 weeks prior to the event. 

Do stands come with a table?

We always endeavour to provide tables & chairs at our events. Where the venue doesn’t provide tables or chairs there will sadly be an extra cost so we can keep the stand prices down as much as possible. 

How many suppliers of each category do you have?

We try our best to even out suppliers for each categories so that we have a even and varied selection of suppliers. 

Once a category is full, we do operate a waiting list. 

What Health & Safety procedures will you have in place?

All our procedures for the event will be determined by a full Health and Safety risk assessment which will be updated in the weeks prior to the event to take account of the latest guidance. 

All exhibitors will receive full joining instructions, setting out such procedures, approximiately 2 weeks prior to the event. 

Any further questions, please let us know on altwedparty@quirkyweddingfayre.co.uk

What is the access at your venues?

We want our events to be accessible for everyone and details will be available for this for each individual fair.  

What happens if the Event has to be moved?

We hope that nothing with disrupt plans for our businesses but one thing we’ve learned is to expect the unexpected. If this happens, we will always offer to move you to an alternative date free of charge, or, will offer you a refund of amounts paid to date less an amount to cover advertising & administration costs incurred to date.
