About PMN Wedding Fayres

As a husband & wife team, having spent some 30+ years within the wedding industry (and attending hundreds of Wedding Fayres personally) we knew that we could provide the best wedding fayres…14 years later and our portfolio of prestigious venues has increased dramatically, having also established ourselves as Award Winning Wedding Fayre Organizers across the South Coast.

So when we created PMN Wedding Fayres back in July 2008, we had a vision of providing local Wedding Businesses, as well as visiting Wedding-Planning-Couples, with a great experience; with more variety of suppliers to see, fashion shows where appropriate, and held at Prestigious, Establish or Iconic Wedding Venues. Our fayres usually take place where couples may ultimately like to have their actual wedding, providing the opportunity to explore suites & facilities, whilst planning the exciting and special elements of their day at the same time (there’s nothing nicer than piecing it all together, in a beautiful hotel or establishment that could possibly become your own wedding venue!)…

However, it doesn’t matter where or when you’re planning to get married. For couples who have already sourced the perfect place to say “I Do” and other important factors, our Wedding Fayres are there to provide numerous ideas and ample inspiration for all the other essential elements they may require, such as; flowers, cakes, photography, videography, venue décor & styling, jewellery, transport, menswear, wedding dresses, health & beauty…we even have Owls & Helicopters at some of our fayres!

Not to mention that we like to provide our couples with as much information, samples, giveaways, and materials as possible. Our unique Deluxe Wedding Gift Bags are high quality, luxury roped-handled, and worth well over *£10 each. Available to Pre-order and purchase on the day, for half that, at just £4.95 they’re packed with the very latest editions of top wedding magazines, candles, cosmetic samples, tasty-treats and much more. You won’t find anything else quite like them, but make sure you Reserve one (or more, for your BFF, Mum’s etc) when you Pre-Register to attend our fayres, before we’re SOLD OUT

Award Winning Wedding Fayres

We have up to 24 Wedding Fayres in our Annual Calendar, across much of the South Coast, providing a fantastic choice of suppliers & businesses, at what we consider to be some of the very best wedding venues available. We pride ourselves on our commitment to our venues, exhibitors and customers alike; whether you are a potential Exhibitor or a wedding-planning-couple visiting our Fayres, we know that we have what it takes to make your business grow and your wedding plans become a reality.

By providing as much choice & variety as possible to our couples, you can control your ‘wedding budget’; no two florists, cake makers or photographers etc, are the same (and no two weddings are the same!) as everyone has a different style or price to suit. With the vast amount of wedding professionals that attend our wedding fayres, you can find just the right ones to suit you personally – after all they will become an important part of your day, so it’s particularly important that you have a great selection to choose from.

Our wedding fayres are for everyone, simples! It doesn’t matter where or when you’re planning to get married, just pop along for some ideas, or make a day of it with friends & family…

When you arrive at one of our PMN Wedding Fayres you will initially be greeted by a variety of wedding transport, mobile bars & other external displays, at the approach to the venue. Once inside you will see a selection of exhibitors from all categories, throughout various rooms & suites; wedding dresses, grooms attire, photography, flowers, cakes, stationery, venue decor & styling, chair covers and so much more. With such a diverse selection of anything from 35 to 90 (sometimes 100 at our largest fayres!) top wedding businesses at every PMN Wedding Fayre, we know that you will make all the right choices for your special day.

Entry is Free & Parking is also complimentary at all of our fayres . There are also various offers & incentives available from many of the suppliers – along with Competitions to win luxurious wedding related prizes, so make sure your enter!

Purchase a high-end, rope-handled Deluxe Wedding Gift Bag for just £4.95 on the day – they’re worth well over £10 and we regularly sell out, so make sure you Reserve one or more when you Pre-Register to attend any PMN Wedding Fayre (look out for the Gold Button, or pop onto the ‘Couples’ tab at the top)

At our well-organized, reputable, variety-filled Wedding Fayres, you will find many of your potential wedding suppliers; they are experts in what they do and can provide you with invaluable guidance and advice. Feel free to sample their produce or services too; taste the chocolate fountain, sit in your dream wedding car and try on fantastic bridal gown. With all the planning, preparation and thought that you put into ‘the best day of your life’, we make sure that you will find a diverse array of established and new wedding businesses, to provide you with the widest choices, helping to make your decisions a little easier.

Working with such a vast selection of Wedding Venues we are even able to offer some fayres that have outdoor or external exhibitors, i.e. A hog roast or BBQ on the rear lawn, mobile bar(s), ice cream carts, or external venue caterers where you can sample their produce too, whilst listening to the live music from some of our many fabulous live acts and entertainers. At other selected venues we also hold professionally choreographed Fashion Shows, where you can see a stunning selection of the very latest Bridal Gowns, Bridesmaids Dresses and Mother of the Bride outfits and not forgetting the chaps too ~ Grooms Attire…

There’s often understandable confusion for couples just venturing on their wedding-planning-journey with the types of events you can attend, so we’d like to explain the difference (then you’ll see why are fayres are the best!)

Wedding Fayres; Unfortunately we can’t speak for all – but a ‘Wedding Fayre’ (not Fair!) should have a variety of suppliers – more than 30 hopefully – showcasing their wedding related businesses within a lovely wedding venue (although some are in halls, centers and even hangers?!) It’s about seeing as many ideas as possible and meeting suppliers whom you might choose for your special day. We limit the amount per category, so if for example the fayre has a total of 50 exhibitors, we will have a maximum of 5 per category – as the last thing we want our couples to do is to walk into a fayre where there are hardly any types of supplier they may have hoped to see.

Wedding Open Day/Evening; This is usually completely down to a Venue/Hotel opening it’s doors to everyone to come along and have a look at their wedding facilities. Usually there may be a handful of wedding suppliers who regularly work with the venue, or who are recommended by them, also displaying their services. Predominantly though, the venue will have set up their rooms or suites to give you the opportunity to see what the venue looks like set and dressed for a wedding ceremony and/or reception. So a great way to envisage what you might be looking for…

Wedding Showcase; There’s little difference to a venues’ Wedding Open Day/Evening’ as it usually the venue bringing in it’s own suppliers to enhance the open day…

We hope this helps! Please see our Wedding Fayres page for individual details of which particular venues have Fashion Shows and/or outdoor exhibitors. All of our Fayres open at *11am to 3pm *unless otherwise stated on our advertising literature/website). So come along and enjoy the experience of a PMN Wedding Fayre. Please check before travelling to any of our wedding fayres, that the event has not been cancelled or postponed for any reason beyond our control

The many Wedding Venues that we work alongside secure and book their preferred fayre dates with us, over a year in advance. Date continuity is key and based upon the revenue we bring to venues at our fayres, they are keen to repeat this, often twice a year in the prime months.

Our association and reputations are very important to us and its equally important to select the right date for the event; there’s much to consider such as clashing with similar events (suppliers can’t attend them all, and without suppliers we don’t have a wedding fayre!) as well as any other events that could cause disruption, such as a road race?

There’s an awful lot to consider and ideally, we like a minimum of 6 months to market a fayre, gaining supplier interest and of course visitor interest – to try and squeeze in a fayre or rush to fit one in our calendar would not allow it to be as successful as it could and should be…

We need to promote the event and venue from the moment we opt to work together, continually, and all details are seen in our variety of literature and publications that we feature within, as well as displayed at all our fayres that we hold. Our reputation for significant footfall to our fayres is gained because of how much we market and promote, and how much we spend on doing so – our venues and suppliers recognise this, hence why we continue to work together and are regularly approached by venues across the country, hoping that we can assist them in reaching and exceeding their wedding revenue targets.

Producing a Wedding Fayre for and with your venue alleviates all the associated tasks (& headaches!) from your staff & resources, not to mention that we inject a £3,000 marketing budget, a budget that many venues don’t have available (nor other wedding fayre/fair organisers)
