Magpie Wedding Fair, Victoria Baths – The Fake Wedding

Our March wedding fair with our first Fake Wedding, saw us return to the beautiful wedding venue Victoria Baths in Manchester. Although the snow was coming down and it was perishing temperatures, our wonderful suppliers and brides still got to out to see us; now that’s dedication to the cause!
