Enter the Shadows with Style: DATTs Joins the Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair
If you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding wrapped in velvet shadows, candlelit romance, and gothic elegance—then you’re in for an unforgettable invitation.
What Is the Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair?
Imagine a wedding fair unlike any other. The Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair, hosted by TilDeath – Alternative Wedding Collective, is the UK’s leading alternative wedding showcase tailored to dark, gothic, metal-loving, and romantically unconventional couples.
This year, the fair takes place Sunday, 21 September 2025, from 11 am to 4 pm at the atmospheric Rochdale Town Hall—a stunning, newly restored venue that drips with dramatic charm.
What to Expect at the Event
- A curated collection of alternative wedding experts: couture designers, florists, stylists, photographers, celebrants, artisanal cake makers, stationers, live performers—and more—all with a flair for moody elegance and expressive romance.
- Immersive décor & displays: think stained-glass shadows, velvet drapes, candlelight, and gothic glamour setting the mood for inspiration.
- Three thoughtful entry sessions:
- 11 am–12 noon: Quiet Hour—low visitor numbers, no music or performances, sensory-aware setup (suppliers approach only when invited).
- 12 noon–2 pm and 2 pm–4 pm: General Admission sessions, with full atmospheric flair.
- Inclusive and accessible atmosphere: The fair welcomes all bodies, identities, cultures, and neurotypes—it’s a safe, celebratory space for every love story.
- Affordable entry: Tickets are priced from £5, available in advance online.
With over 30 of the UK’s finest dark and alternative wedding vendors gathered under one roof, this is creativity unleashed.
Introducing DATTs: Bold. Gothic. Unforgettable.
We’re thrilled to announce DATTs is participating in this mesmerising event! If this is the first time you’re hearing that name, let us introduce you.
DATTs – Devil Among the Tailors – is a tailoring company dedicated to those who walk a darker, more individual path. We create bespoke and made-to-measure wedding suits, jackets, waistcoats, kilts, and Highlandwear that fuse Scottish heritage with a gothic and punk edge. From sharp tartans and rich tweeds to sumptuous velvets, every garment is cut to reflect the wearer’s story. Our tailoring turns ceremonies into statements—weddings draped not just in tradition, but in mystery, rebellion, and style.
At the Gothic Luxe fair, you can chat with our team to explore cloth, cuts, and styles that defy the ordinary. Explore possibilities for your statement wedding suit or three-piece ensemble in tartan, tweed, worsted or velvet. We will be excited to talk about made-to-measure waistcoats, trousers and trews, and maybe even modern alternative highlindwear if you fancy that goth kilt outfit in a black-on-black tartan.

Whether you’re at the early stages of wedding planning or already knee-deep in ceremony ideas, this fair offers:
