The Judging Panel

Meet Our Judges

A united front of industry experts, committed to judging Scotland's wedding industry with integrity and fairness.

Our Promise

Judged With Integrity

Our judging panel upholds the integrity and transparency of the competition to maintain its position as the supreme accolade of the Scottish wedding industry.

All nominations are checked and verified, and crosschecked with the Marriage register in Edinburgh. Judges see no company names or regions — everything is anonymous — so decisions rest solely on couples' nominations and the shortlisted businesses' submissions. Booking tickets or advertising with Your Scottish Wedding does not mean you'll be shortlisted or win.
