Get To Know Us

LOOKING FOR MORE INFO?

Hey there, curious! 

I'm guessing you're here because you'd like to know more about working with us in one capacity or another. So firstly, you have excellent instincts, and secondly, bravo for being a savvy business person and doing your homework before signing up for anything. 

Of course, you'll see a reasonably static webpage here, so we cordially invite you to check out our social media for all the latest goings on, reviews and interactions so you can get a good feel for who we are and how we do things.

Charlotte Courage Pike - The Wedding Scene Limited Company Director

WHO WE ARE

“We” are a single director company; said Director is Charlotte, and I'm formerly an award-winning wedding stationer based on the Dorset/Somerset border. 

After a good few years doing the wedding fair rounds,  I noticed many things that could, and should, be done differently, so I started organising my little heart out in 2017 and grew the business from there. As a result, our wedding shows are now the biggest in the areas they serve. 

I love getting creative and staying hands-on in the wedding industry, which is why you'll often find me organising styled shoots and networking evenings.

WHAT WE DO

Wedding Shows - primarily, we organise wedding shows (or fairs, if you prefer). We call them shows because ‘fair’ sounds too quaint for what we offer. Our shows are big, busy, and blinkin' brilliant.

The Ultimate Wedding Directory - a collection of some of the very finest wedding professionals to exist in the UK. Refine your search by area and/or service and then 

Association of Assured Wedding Professionals - alongside The Ultimate Wedding Directory sits the Association of Assured Wedding Professionals, or A.A.W.P. if, like me, you enjoy an acronym. Quite simply, this is a new industry standard. A banner under which all wedding professionals can unite and display their expertise. We hold a unique directory of wedding professionals vetted using our stringent (non-financial) quality checks. This a recommendation worth having.

W.I.N.E. (Wedding Industry Networking Events) - the fun things! We love getting together, usually with nibbles and music or a B.B.Q. We love getting to know you and giving you an opportunity to meet others in the industry without the pressure of trying to get set up for a fair.

Blog - writing has always been a passion of mine, and if you hadn't noticed, we're rather partial to a wedding, so this is an excellent mix for us! We're always looking for styled shoots to feature on our blog, tips and advice articles for our couples to read, and any other wisdom or beauty you might wish to share.

WHY WE DO IT

People do sometimes ask if I'm a bit mad, organising so many large-scale wedding exhibitions, but the truth is that I love small businesses. I love weddings. I love marketing. I love organising. I love hosting. Can you think of anything more suitable as a career? I mean honestly, answers on a postcard! 

This is absolutely a labour of love, and when you work with us, you'll see that for yourself.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

As a former wedding professional, I've been in your shoes (Manolos, right?). I know what it's like to find the best marketing platforms for your business while trying to do everything else simultaneously. For example, you often decide to exhibit at a wedding fair to find you're next to a competitor, or it's hugely oversaturated, or you meet all six couples after paying a considerable sum of money. 

Our wedding shows, in fact, everything we do, are focused on our wedding professionals. Of course, we love the couples that join us at our events and use our directory, but ultimately we hope they only need us once and go on to have lifelong happy marriages. 

Our wedding family, our suppliers and venues, are the ones that come back, time after time, to work with us. Our job is to help your customers find and book you. We work for you.

We always go the extra mile to ensure the couples visiting us are happy and engaged. We help empower them with the jargon and inspire them with the décor inspiration areas and fashion shows. Our efforts translate to you meeting hundreds of enthusiastic, eager-to-book couples.

We even help advise on how to maximise your bookings!
