On Thursday 21st October, North West wedding suppliers, venues and creatives were recognised in the 11th annual North West Wedding Awards.
With 400 people in attendance, guests donned their tuxedos and gowns for a night of celebration after what was the hardest 18 months the industry has faced for a long time.
Brides, bridegrooms and customers from across the region had voted for the best suppliers in the wedding industry over the past 12 months. Over 12,000 votes were counted, more than 2,400 companies were nominated and 284 finalists were narrowed down to 32 winners on the night!
The evening began with flag waving and dancing on chairs; a fabulous sight to see, with everyone back at an event like this celebrating again.
Guests were encouraged to network throughout the evening, and to get involved on social media, posting photos and comments about the event.
Guests also raised a staggering £7,000 for Destination for Destination Florida Children’s Charity. Ben Morrison, a trustee from the charity said “it is amazing that this event has raised enough funds over the last four years to send 6 children on a holiday of a lifetime and we can’t thank County Brides enough for their support.”
It was an amazing evening and County Brides would like to thank all of the companies who helped to put the evening together and bring the theme of ‘The Great British Bounce Back’ to life!
Managing Director at County Brides, Duane Thornborough, said “it was wonderful to see these talented people in the flesh again..OUT, OUT! Especially after the 18 months our industry has faced, we wanted to really celebrate these businesses and take the opportunity to have a real party!
Everyone in that room was a winner, having been recognised by couples across the region for their dedication to what they do.”
