About Quirky Weddings
Quirky Weddings have been turning wedding planning into a party for 6 years with their UK wide Quirky Wedding Fayres! Founded in 2019 by multi-award-winning wedding planner Lily Jones, Quirky Weddings has grown into the UK’s largest alternative wedding fayre, championing inclusivity, accessibility, fun, and uniqueness.
Our mission? To shake up the wedding industry and empower couples to celebrate their love their way. We’re proud to be part of the positive shift making the wedding industry more diverse and accepting. Progress has been made, but there’s still work to do, and we’re here to push boundaries and break stereotypes.
While ‘quirky’ can mean weird, wacky, and wonderful, to us, it’s an ethos – a celebration of uniqueness, self-expression, and open-mindedness. Quirky Weddings isn’t just about being different; it’s about creating a space where every couple, no matter their style, feels seen, accepted, and free to design a wedding that reflects who they truly are.
That’s why all our Approved Quirky Wedding Suppliers, whether bold and eccentric or more traditionally elegant, share our values of inclusivity and respect. When you visit a Quirky Wedding Fayre, you’re stepping into a judgment-free zone filled with passionate suppliers who embrace every idea with excitement and open hearts.
So next time you visit a Quirky Wedding Fayre, know that every supplier has been handpicked for their welcoming mindset and inclusive approach. Quirky is more than a word – it’s a family, and we welcome you with open arms.
Your Day, Your Way – Always.
About Hawke Barn
A stunning barn venue in tranquil rolling Devon countryside.
Nestled in the stunning Mid Devon hills, close to the pretty hamlet of Stoodleigh, sits Hawke Barn, a 16th century former storage and threshing barn for Thorne Farm. The farm was for many years owned by Balliol College, Oxford. From the moment you turn onto the half mile private drive you will be enveloped by the peace, tranquillity, and beautiful scenery that surround you in every direction.
Today Hawke Barn has been beautifully renovated creating an intimate space for impressive entertaining for weddings, birthday celebrations or any special event or occasion for up to 60 guests.
