Your Winners are Announced!
Thousands of couples from across the region have recently been voting to celebrate the skills and creativity of their own wedding suppliers – the Great Northern wedding industry! This was the first Great Northern Wedding Awards since we rested them after 2020, letting the industry get back on its feet after a turbulent couple of years, and is our sixth Awards since they were originally launched in 2015.

Each voting couple rated their wedding suppliers on attributes such as approachability, communication, ease of booking, on the day quality and value for money, giving an overall quality score plus providing valuable feedback to the businesses on their key areas of service.
Our Awards ceremony on Tuesday 4th June brought together such a talented collection of wedding industry experts all under one roof at Ashfield House in Standish. Our host venue provided an incredible feast of street tapas food for our finalists which included dishes such as halloumi spring rolls, Sicilian arancini, pulled-pork donuts and chicken teriyaki sushi – delicious! Our Awards host was Ryan Smith, leading DJ & Wedding Host. The drinks flowed, we enjoyed sets from Mr Wilsons Second Liners, and there were lots of freebies for our finalists to take away with them – we even had a tattoo station that went down a storm!
So, allow us to present to you, the absolute best of the best in the Great Northern wedding industry!
