My Big Fake Wedding Disco returns to LEAF Bold Street

Liverpool’s party scene is about to get a dose of wedding magic without the vows as My Big Fake Wedding Disco makes a return to LEAF Bold Street on Saturday, May 11.

The essence of My Big Fake Wedding Disco, is an event where guests can experience the best parts of a wedding without the need for a marriage license.

Imagine all the highlights of a wedding—the dancing, the cake cutting, the joy—distilled into a singular event focused solely on having a fantastic time.

Co-founded by Chris Mac and Jules Bennett, known for their roles in Bongo’s Bingo and Liquidation respectively, this event promises to reinvent the celebration scene with its unique blend of nostalgia and excitement.

The evening will be sound-tracked by a mix of disco, Motown, funk, indie, pop, cheese, and power ballad classics, ensuring that the dance floor remains packed with energy all night long. With a sprinkling of silliness, love, and tender embraces, attendees are in for a truly unforgettable experience.

Chris said: “We’ve all been to weddings, haven’t we? What Jules and I originally wanted to do was re-create that magic, just without the actual vows. Because how many times have you heard someone say – ‘I love a good wedding!’ And that’s the essence of what we’re doing again and bringing My Big Fake Wedding Disco back, blending all of that together.

“We’ve got prosecco on arrival for each guest and when tickets are booked, everyone’s got to chance to put themselves forward to be the bride and groom or groom and groom, or bride and bride for the night. And yes, this even includes catching the bouquet and cutting the cake. So make sure to save the date for this!”

Chris and Jules launched My Big Fake Wedding Disco a few years ago before taking a creative break. Then, when Chris got married himself, they decided it was time to bring the party back and become off-kilter wedding planners again, with their immersive few hours of near-matrimonial magic.

“My Big Fake Wedding Disco is mainly about the music – you’ve got 5 hours of the exact kind of set you’d hear at any good wedding,” Chris added. “Then all of the extra parts which make it so special too, just not an actual marriage. LEAF’s perfect because they have lots of weddings and celebrations there already, so we know we’re going to fit in perfectly. We’re encouraging guests to dress sharp as though they are coming to one, and yes, we will have our suits on!”
