As part of the South West Love Fest, you're invited to dive into a full day of inspiration with our Heart-to-Heart Expert Talks and Interactive Workshops - two feel-good programmes designed to spark ideas, boost confidence and help you create a wedding that feels truly “you.” Our bite-sized talks bring you honest, practical wisdom from brilliant wedding pros on everything from sustainable planning and inclusive celebrations to honeymoon adventures, confidence on camera and even preparing your dog of honour. Then roll up your sleeves in our hands-on workshops, where you can craft meaningful keepsakes - from handfasting cords and heartfelt vows to personalised favours and paper florals - guided by friendly makers and celebrants. Whether you want to learn, make, or simply soak up the vibes, these sessions add a whole lot of heart, creativity and fun to your Love Fest experience.
Booking in advance is essential for our workshops but no booking is required for the talks. You can purchase your workshop tickets with your main tickets below.
