About us ✻
A calmer, more honest way to plan
My Wedding Vibe is a Dorset wedding community. The Lineup, a free list of suppliers each checked by a real person, and calm Showcases that bring couples and suppliers together in real life.
We are rooted in Dorset, on purpose. The idea is simple. The best weddings come from real connections, not the loudest adverts.
Because the usual way leaves people out
Finding a wedding supplier should feel exciting. Instead it often means wading through sponsored listings, where the businesses at the top are the ones who paid the most to be there, not the ones who fit you best. You open tab after tab and still have no real sense of who these people are.
We wanted somewhere calmer. A smaller, considered group of suppliers, each one checked by a real person, presented honestly, with no ranking games in the background. Somewhere couples can choose on character and craft, and where the people the wedding industry usually forgets finally see themselves included.
What My Wedding Vibe is
Three things, all pulling in the same direction.
The Dorset Wedding Sessions
A separate event with Jess at Wild Soul Wedding Co. Next: Saturday 17 April 2027 at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. Supplier applications and couples updates.
The Lineup
Our list of suppliers who work Dorset weddings. Free to join, every application read by a real person, and no amount of money moves anyone up it. Suppliers are here because they share what we stand for, not because they bought a slot.
The Showcases
Two Showcases: Poole in January and Iwerne House in February. We ask suppliers to share a starting price or useful range, nobody is pushed to book, and suppliers meet couples, and each other. The Poole Showcase has a Quiet Hour for anyone who wants a calmer room.
Run by one person, on purpose
My Wedding Vibe is mine. Not a faceless listings site, not a big brand selling visibility back to you.
I am Gemma Hurlstone. Every supplier here is checked by a real person, because a community is only ever as good as who you let into it. Suppliers are chosen for the work and the way they treat people, not for what they can spend.
This is not my first room full of wedding suppliers either. I have run wedding fairs across Dorset, from Poole to Bridport, and more than 8 in 10 suppliers who exhibited say they would come back. The rest of my week is spent helping small businesses build calmer ways of working. My Wedding Vibe is those two things joined up.
Being one person means I can hold the whole thing to a standard a big platform never could. No ad budgets deciding who gets seen. No algorithm quietly reshuffling the list. Just a considered group of people I would happily recommend to a friend.
Built for the people the industry usually forgets
Neurodivergent suppliers. LGBTQ+ couples and the suppliers who welcome them properly. People planning an accessible or disability-aware day. Couples planning a 20-guest wedding, welcomed as warmly as a 200-guest one. You should not have to explain yourself to be included here. It is why the Poole Showcase has a Quiet Hour, with lower music, no announcements and a calmer room.
If you have been looking for something calmer, more honest, more human, you are in the right place. You can read more about what we hold to on the manifesto, or start with our guides to finding neurodivergent-friendly suppliers and genuinely LGBTQ+ inclusive suppliers.
Stay close while we build this
We are still building My Wedding Vibe, and we would love you with us from the start.
Suppliers, The Lineup is free to join. Every application is read by a real person, and if it is not the right fit we will say so straight. No fee, no tier, nothing to cancel later.
