The 2027 Awards

Step by Step

The Awards Journey

01

The Wedding Takes Place

A nomination can only be made after the couple's wedding has taken place. This means every nomination is based on a genuine, completed experience with the business concerned.

02

Eligibility Is Confirmed

Businesses must have been trading for at least one year and hold all relevant business and public liability insurance. These standards help ensure every eligible nominee is operating professionally.

03

Couples Nominate

Each couple may nominate up to 15 different wedding businesses. Only one nomination for the same company may be submitted by a couple; duplicate entries will be removed.

04

Nominations Are Verified

Every nomination is carefully checked before the shortlist is confirmed. This verification process protects the integrity of the awards and ensures only genuine, eligible nominations progress.

05

Judging Is Anonymous

Shortlisted submissions are assessed without identifying business names. This allows the judging panel to focus solely on the evidence, achievements and quality of service presented.

06

Winners Are Chosen on Merit

The judges select the business they believe is the most deserving winner in each category. Decisions are made fairly, independently and without favouritism or outside influence.

Integrity at Every Stage

A Process You Can Trust

Our aim is simple: to celebrate outstanding wedding businesses through a process that is transparent, consistent and impartial. Verification protects the quality of the shortlist, while anonymous judging gives every finalist an equal opportunity to be recognised for the work they do.
