A rock ‘n’ roll love story: Diana Porter announced as Wedding Partner

Bristol Beacon and Diana Porter create unique wedding partnership and offer exclusive discount to music-loving couples

We’re giving music-loving couples the chance to walk in the footsteps of legends and icons by opening our spaces up for wedding bookings. Today we’ve announced a new partnership with Bristol jewellery company Diana Porter to offer a one-of-a-kind experience and discount to five lucky couples.

Diana Porter, a pioneering designer who built her reputation on expert craft and ethical sourcing, left behind a legacy that continues to inspire. Her employee-owned studio on Park Street specialises in creating distinctive and deeply personal engagement and wedding rings, often incorporating family heirlooms and sentimental stones into their designs.

Every ring tells a story and through this new partnership couples booking their wedding at Bristol Beacon in 2025 can access a unique opportunity to design their own timeless piece of jewellery, from concept to creation, with the Diana Porter studio, including a special discount.

Bristol Beacon offers an extraordinary setting for couples seeking a wedding experience beyond the ordinary. With world-class spaces blending historic elegance and contemporary design, music lovers and creative souls alike can say ‘I do’ in a venue made for celebration and artistry. With in-house caterers, spaces suitable for dining, ceremonies and parties and a technical team used to working with the biggest music names, Bristol Beacon makes weddings as legendary as the stars on its stages.

Naomi Easy, Head of Business Development at Bristol Beacon, said: “We know that Bristol Beacon is a special place for so many couples who either met here or have shared special music memories over the years and it’s such a joy to be able to offer our spaces for their big day and for it to be preserved forever in a unique piece of jewellery. We got to know Diana personally before she sadly passed away and this partnership was a natural alignment, driven by a love of the arts and shared values of sustainability, inclusion and community engagement.”

The late Diana Porter was a passionate advocate for the arts in Bristol, cycling the city in years gone by selling tickets to concerts from her bike; championing Bristol Beacon and the city’s arts scene for decades after.

Jess Robinson from Diana Porter said: “Diana was an art-lover and pioneer – committed to ethical sourcing, she was one of the first designers in the UK to produce a full collection in fairtrade gold and she created partnership rings for same-sex couples from the very beginning of her business. This partnership is a tribute to her love of the arts, uniting two organisations with a shared vision for a continuing inclusive and creative city.”
