Welcome Dark Wedding Pro
Thank you for requesting info about the next
Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair
Sunday 21st September, 11am to 4pm
Rochdale Town Hall
Our show is one of a kind; dark, gothic, atmospheric, and most importantly brimming to the rafters with the best and most authentic wedding suppliers.
Rochdale Town Hall has just undergone an 8M restoration.
We will be using the magnificent Great Hall and the Bright Hall.
We are going bigger than ever! We have space for more vendors, features and interactive displays and more options for entertainment too!
As previously, we are limiting numbers to 4 suppliers for each field, and we will try to choose suppliers with differing products and services as much as possible. It is also a requirement that all suppliers specifically target darker weddings in a significant proportion of their marketing.

Every Exhibitor Also Receives:
Wedding Fair artwork specific to their brand* - There’s nothing worse than posters that don’t sit well with your feed/audience and it’s difficult to share artwork that may showcase competitors, we get it. So we’ll create artwork to advertise your participation using your images and branding.
Exhibitor badges - for you to use on your website or flyers.
Interactive show directory - designed for smart phones and including all your information and clickable links as well as all the event information and itinerary. The show directory goes out to all ticket holders before the event via email and social media.
Printed show directory - Our show guide is so well received that we are continuing to develop our handy A5 show guide. More than just floor plans and vendor lists, people can take notes as they speak to you. A version, including every exhibitor, will be given to every couple. There is also the opportunity to upgrade to a FULL PAGE feature for just £20.
Free inclusion in the VIP goody bag - We create 50 goody bags for our VIP’s and we ALWAYS sell out! We encourage you to take advantage of getting your brand in front of these couples where they can take the time to get to know your business in the comfort of their own home.
A FREE 12 level 1 month directory listing* (usually £60 a year) plus the opportunity to upgrade to level 2 or level 3 with £60 off those packages (Dark Wedding Directory info here)
At least 3 Instagram/Facebook posts including reels** - we plan to ramp up advertising for the show in the 3/4 months and will showcase each supplier at least once each month.
Invitation to collaboration posts (where the post is shown directly to both you and our audiences simultaneously and you get notified of any interactions and questions directly) - proven to increase traffic and likelihood of new followers.
The possibility to boost your posts through ads - if you feel your TilDeath post is doing well you can choose to promote it further to widen your audience. You set the budget and duration and we’ll push it to the right demographic.
*The in print show guide, posts and features can only be completed if you fill out the questionnaire to fill out your directory listing. If you do not claim your directory listing we cannot promote you properly.
**requires your input for us to complete.
What people are saying
“Fantastic. I’ve had two enquiries on the Monday and one of them booked and paid deposit on Friday, the other I’m sourcing fabric samples for. I’ve never had this response from a wedding fair before. It obviously attracted our kind of clients, I really can’t wait to do another.”

“Thank YOU for the amazing show! Everyone who came along were wonderful, there was a lovely mix of exhibitors and nothing felt too over saturated and it was overall so lovely.
Thus far I’ve had 9 bookings and 3 enquiries from the show alone, which is the best I’ve had from any show I’ve done to date.”
