Our host

One of the traditions of the official Gay Wedding Show is to find the most sassy, sparkling, charming and a little saucy hostess to keep you informed throughout the day.

It's our delight to present you Fonda Cox

 


Fonda Cox:

Brighton's newest star, she has it all, a voice, a day job and a waist.

Once the landlady of a Blackpool B&B, Miss Cox had to flee in a hurry after a freak accident at her B&B that caused a guest to loose a vital body part. She ran to the local train station in an ill fitting dark wig and sequin dress trying her best to look inconspicuous in the UK's tackiest seaside resort.

Walking along the platform decked in sequins and that ill fitting brown wig looking like a cross between the incredible hulk and Hayley from Coronation Street it wasn't long before people mistook her for a Jane McDonald tribute act, and before you could say "Coach Party Cabaret" a legend was born!

   


A warm welcome from our Venetian Statues

Inspired by the Venetian Carnevale - our spectacular statues will welcome you as you arrive. Subtly blending 'stillness' with elegant movements they add a touch of romance and sophistication to your special day creating unforgettable memories.

   

Renaissance Creative Design offer a bespoke design service which covers every aspect of your civil ceremony, party or event from classic or themed interiors to occasion wear including exquisite gowns and tailored suits for women, and beautiful hand beaded waistcoats for men. Renaissance design exclusively for the individual client, whom we work closely with throughout the design process, ensuring that you receive garments and settings that truly reflect who you are and how you want your day to look.

We are proud to announce that the launch of our swan chariot hire service at The Gay Wedding Show, Brighton, had a rapturous response. Hand drawn by a formally attired attendant, they are a fabulous way to arrive at your civil ceremony or event and make a great addition to any photo shoot or album.
