The Wedding Planning Community - LIVE!

THURSDAY 9th OCTOBER, 7.00pm-10.00pm

Step into a Wedding Show like no other! The Wedding Planning Community (TWPC) LIVE! is part inspiration, part entertainment, and part night out at The Cock Hotel in the historic town of Stony Stratford.

With live performances, a mock ceremony, expert supplier Q&As, sweet treats, fizz, and plenty of surprises, it’s your chance to enjoy a fun evening with your partner or wedding crew while gathering ideas for your Big Day.

Think wedding planning with a twist - more laughter, more atmosphere, and more memories than your average wedding fair.

Basically, it's wedding planning at the pub...and who wouldn't want that?!

Weddings are more than a checklist.

They’re the moments that connect your people, your story, and the joy of being together.

TWPC Live! is not just another wedding fair - it’s a wedding night out.

It's an evening of entertainment (a magician, live music and plenty of sweet treats), expert advice, and inspiration - designed to take you from overwhelmed to overjoyed.

What Makes TWPC Live! Different?

TWPC Live! is a show, a social event, and a support system all rolled into one. Think of it as advice in action - brought to life with entertainment, real wedding experts, and a chance to experience what different parts of your day could actually feel like.

Here’s what you can expect:

🥂 Glass of fizz & delicious canapés on arrival - set the mood from the moment you walk in

🎩 Immersive mock ceremony with unexpected twists - see what your day could feel like

💬 Expert live talks & Q&A panels - advice from vendors who’ve walked the path

🎉 Breakout zones - ideas, browse styled inspiration, chat with suppliers in relaxed spaces

🤹‍♀️ Performances & surprise moments — magic, live music, or something delightfully unexpected

Make a night of it!

Bring your bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, or pals - this is an evening out to be entertained and educated.

It's taking place at The Cock Hotel in the historic town of Stony Stratford (a great place for any night out!)

It is a charming setting with quaint streets and lovely dinner spots - why not make it a date night - arrive early, enjoy dinner nearby, then join us for the event. The Cock Hotel also has dinner deals on the same evening to help make that easy. Check out their dinner deals here.

A Real-Life Celebration of The Wedding Planning Community

At The Wedding Planning Community (TWPC), we’re passionate about helping couples plan their big day with real people who care. Because while online directories and endless Pinterest scrolling have their place, we believe your wedding deserves more than a click-and-cart experience.

Weddings are the ultimate symbol of human connection.

That’s why we’re building this community – online and in person – to support and guide you through your planning journey, no matter what your dream day looks like. Whether it’s a lavish affair with horse-drawn carriages and fireworks, or a quiet church ceremony with just your nearest and dearest - we’re here for it.

TWPC LIVE!

Your Questions Answered

Is this a wedding fair?

Not exactly. Yes, there are suppliers - but they’re not just handing out flyers (unless you ask them for one!). They’re part of the experience, showing you what they can do in a fun and natural way. It’s about connection and education, not a sales pitch.

Do I need to be a member of TWPC to attend?

This is the launch event for our Wedding Planning Community, and we hope you'll be desperate to be part of it after the event!

In the future, if you're one of our 'Devotion' members, you'll get one ticket free and if you're one of our 'Ever After' members, you'll get two tickets free.

Will people try to sell to me?

Nope. This event is all about value and experience. If you connect with someone, great - but there’s no pressure or awkward sales conversations.
