Manchester 2027 Show
Sunday 19 September 2027 | 12 noon – 3pm
Malmaison Manchester Piccadilly
THE GAY WEDDING SHOW IS BACK IN MANCHESTER! Your Love. Your Day. Your Way.
Celebrating 24 years of the UK’s official Gay Wedding Shows, Manchester Autumn 2027 is set to be another fantastic day full of inspiration, creativity, and fun.
Planning your wedding should be exciting.
It should make you smile. It should give you butterflies. It should have you talking about colours, venues, outfits, flowers, music, food, photographs and that one song you absolutely HAVE to have playing when you walk into the room.
But most importantly… it should be YOUR wedding.
And that’s exactly what the Gay Wedding Show is all about.
Not Your Typical Wedding Fayre
The Gay Wedding Show isn’t like those dull, opposite-sex focused or traditional “Wedding Fayres”
Forget the rows of identical stands, the awkward sales pitches and the feeling that you’ve somehow walked into someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like.
This is the Gay Wedding Show
For 24 years, we’ve been creating wedding shows specifically for LGBTQ+ couples, their friends, families and anyone who believes that love deserves to be celebrated exactly the way you want it.
People who get it
Come and meet wedding professionals who understand our community.
People who want to listen to your ideas, understand what makes you tick and help you create a wedding that feels completely, brilliantly and unapologetically YOU.
Whether you’re two women, two men, non-binary, trans, queer, open-minded or simply in love…
You’re welcome here!
COME FOR THE WEDDING IDEAS Stay For The Atmosphere
The Gay Wedding Show isn’t just about picking up brochures…
It’s about meeting people!
It’s about discovering things you didn’t know existed
Like finding:
- The photographer whose work makes you stop in your tracks
- The venue that suddenly gives you goosebumps.
- The celebrant who just gets your story.
- The outfit you can already imagine yourself wearing.
- The little details that turn a wedding from a wedding into your wedding.
