Cast your mind back to a pre-pandemic world, its early February 2020 and the first Rock n Roll Bride Live has just taken place. It was a truly fantastic day, full of the most incredible suppliers, couples and speakers. The energy in the room was electric. People whooped, cheered and cried during the talks. There were tarot readings, people doing nail art and the queue for the photo booth went half way cross the room.
We all partied together at the end of the night while the bar – lit up with fuchsia neon – served prosecco and sparkly pink unicorn gin. Everybody left with the most incredible goodie bag which people STILL talk to me about nearly three years later! This wasn’t a wedding show – it was so much more than that.
As we’re about to embark on a brand-new year and leave the craziness of the pandemic as far behind us as we possibly can, we are so excited to announce that Rock n Roll Bride Live is back and it’s going to be even bigger and better than last time. Taking place on Sunday May 14th 2023 at Hackney Town Hall, tickets are now available.
