Welcome to Portland's Alternative Wedding Fair

Browse local alternative companies who don't say "I do" to the traditions of older times. Meet LGBTQQIA vendors, local artists, and professionals who like to do things a little differently! 

Plan your perfect wedding or celebration of love with these talented and trusted wedding pros. Who says things have to be done the way your parents did it? This is Portland after all, and we like to keep it weird. This event specifically supports under represented communities of wedding professionals, giving them a broader reach into the wedding market of the Portland Metro area.
