Wedding Fayres in Yorkshire | The UK Wedding Event

WHAT WE DO

The UK Wedding Event are responsible for some of the biggest wedding fayres in Yorkshire.

Our flagship show at York Racecourse features over 100 exhibitors and is staged twice yearly in March and October along with our big West Yorkshire event at Elland Road in Leeds in September.

In addition to these large scale shows, we also work closely with a number of leading hotels and venues in the region to organise more intimate wedding fayres.

Testimonials

					Rob and Emma are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble and they are all about looking after the suppliers as well as the couples. You can tell each event is well advertised by the turn-out, so you know your stall fee isn’t all profit for them - it is being put into marketing and ensuring couples get what they come for.

					Rob and Emma always do a fantastic job. Working in the wedding industry, it's clear each event has been marketed really well. They are always looking to improve the experience for both the client and exhibitors. Bless these guys have also helped me move plenty of heavy equipment too.

					Went to the York racecourse event this Sunday, I’m a bridesmaid to my beautiful friends wedding and this was my first ever wedding fayre. We were greeted by some lovely vendors whilst we waited to get into the event, and then when we got inside we’re greeted by the smiliest staff going, everyone made you feel so welcome! We grabbed a Prosecco and off we went to the stalls! All the vendors we looked at were incredible, very friendly but not pushy whatsoever which was great! The fashion show was incredible and my best friend got so many ideas for her wedding! The organisers of this event should be so very proud of what they’ve accomplished because this was the greatest day and we hope to be back!

					The amazing Ripon Cathedral Show was our 1st time exhibiting with The UK Wedding Event. From our first contact  and throughout Rob, Emma and their team were wonderful, professional and really helpful. Emails were replied to quickly and the organisation both before and on the day was great. We felt well informed and we were made to feel really welcome which we greatly appreciated.  The show was wonderfully busy with super couples, everything worked well and we couldn't fault a single thing. Their wealth of experience shone through!

We cannot thank you enough and really look forward to working with you again really soon.

					I LOVE exhibiting with The UK Wedding Event - each and every event / showcase is well organised, right down to very specific directions, including access points for easy unloading and information for where to park- usually free or very generously discounted through the organisers . The events are very well attended by fabulous suppliers and potential clients , with a consistant  flow of attendees throughout the duration of each event . Emma and Rob even hosted a hospitality room for suppliers , with complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate which was very much appreciated by everyone on the day. Lots of quality leads and bookings immediately following each event and for several weeks after too. Highly recommend ♥️

					We were blown away with how professional the Uk Wedding Event Exhibition was at The Royal Armouries.

This was our first big exhibition and we were really pleased with how it went and the amount of leads we got.

We’d highly recommend to other suppliers and will definitely be booking on more. 

Thanks to Rob & Emma for your continued support throughout the event. 

You really do work very hard to make these events amazing.

The Anniversary Wedding Show Promotion for York Racecourse

Celebrating Ten Years At York Racecourse

The UK Wedding Event celebrates ten years of business this Sunday at the venue where it all began.

The Big York Racecourse Wedding Show has gone from strength to strength since that inaugural event in October 2014 and is now widely regarded as Yorkshire's most popular one-day wedding exhibition.

Event Organiser Rob O'Neill reflects on a decade of growth & shares his excitement for Sunday's milestone show which includes a fabulous giveaway to one lucky bride.

Huge Turnout Expected at York Racecourse

The Big Day has finally arrived - North Yorkshire's biggest wedding show is back at York Racecourse and it looks set to be attended by more visitors than ever!

The UK Wedding Event has flourished since our inaugural show in 2014, and this weekend's gathering promises to be another resounding success. 💍

Come see over 100 top wedding suppliers from all corners of Yorkshire when the event gets underway at 10.30am this Sunday (17th March).

Planning a wedding is never an easy task but it doesn't have to be difficult either as you will discover by following The UK Wedding Event's essential step by step guide.

Find out too how going to a wedding fayre can open doors to hundreds of top wedding suppliers and venues.

Date Change Reminder for Ripon Cathedral Show

A reminder that the big Ripon Cathedral Wedding Show originally planned for Saturday 3rd September 2022 has now been moved to Saturday 11th February 2023.

Regretfully the date was changed after the Cathedral took on a big wedding booking.

All stand and ticket holders can swap over to the new date next year or get a full refund.
