The Alt Wed Fair is designed for couples who want weddings and celebrations that break free from convention. Think bold, creative, inclusive, and wildly YOU. At this one-of-a-kind fair, you’ll meet local professionals who don’t say “I do” to tradition for tradition’s sake. Instead, they celebrate diversity, self-expression, and love in all its forms — from tattooed brides to punk-rock grooms, from micro-weddings to ceremonies with a twist. The event also intentionally highlights and supports LGBTQQIA+ and BIPoC wedding professionals, giving under-represented vendors a bigger platform to share their talent with Portland’s couples. 🎟 Admission & Raffle: *General Admission: FREE!
