WHAT IS THE ALTERNATUS NUPTIA EXPERIENCE? The Alternatus Nuptia experience will be interactive on all kinds of levels with elements to suit Goths, Pagans, Vintage Vixens or those who want a wedding that is just a little different. Vending and performing at the event will be a world away from brochures being thrust into hands or the ‘hard sell’ sales pitch Alternatus Nuptia will enable our distinctive group of wedding and entertainment specialists to show visitors exactly what they can do. We are encouraging them to spend an indulgent time with Brides and Grooms and to provide quality client consultations as part of their offering on the day.
THE WONDERLAND THAT IS ALTERNATUS NUPTIA The event, based round Alice in Wonderland for this year, is in two parts. Come in the day and come in the evening, come to one, come to either, come to both!
DAYTIME SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Our eclectic group of wedding and entertainment specialists on hand to demonstrate their products, services and talents. Mad Hatters Tea Parties, serving alcohol not tea, for those purchasing a VIP ticket hosted by our team of Gothic Lolitas. A novel take on the fashion show accompanied by music from international artists yet to be seen in the UK. Fundraising for our nominated charity, Yorkhill Children’s Foundation.
THE CLUB NIGHT The fundamental ideology of Alternatus Nuptia is unconventionality. Having talked to vendors, especially entertainers, we found that their main frustration when attending traditional wedding shows was the inability to show potential clients what they could do. Not all brides and grooms are afforded the luxury of seeing the person or group who will entertain their guests in a performance situation before the day of their wedding, Having taken all of this on board, we decided to create the Club Night element of Alternatus Nuptia. In a creative, night club, atmosphere bands, burlesque dancers and magicians (to name but a few) will showcase their expertise and artistry. Please see the ‘Media and Links’ page for the link to our YouTube Channel where we hope to give you a sneak peek at some of the talent that will be on display!
THE TEAM – FROM ONE TO MANY Alternatus Nuptia came about in a somewhat curious way. One of the many hats of Nikki, the event founder, is that of Gothic Fusion Bellydancer. When she was contemplating taking a stand at a local traditional wedding show she sought the opinion of some dance show promoter friends. Instead of being told it was a good or bad idea, it was suggested that she set up her own alternative wedding show. A show that catered for the Goth community who were rarely represented at wedding fairs. The challenge was set and that’s when Nikki reached out to the ‘Alternative Community’ to put together a team worthy of such an unusual event. A team with the drive, passion and enthusiasm for the concept of Alternatus Nuptia which had now expanded to include Pagans and Vintage Vixens. Fast forward to today and the team has become a collaborative community of specialists each bringing their particular perspective to Alternatus Nuptia. On the next few pages are Bios for just a few of the Alternatus Nuptia Team. There are many that have helped along the way who are not shown here but who are an equally vital part of the event.
