Every business who made it to the finals this year has achieved so much, and each was worthy of winning their individual categories. Let’s not forget that even to receive a nomination this year was an achievement in itself – we raise the bar pretty high before we send those badges out! There are no losers at the Great Northern Wedding Awards, so plan your wedding with confidence when you see those finalist badges!
Here is a full list of finalists, plus news of who received Highly Commended in their categories, and who lifted the Winners trophies! And thanks to Covid, we couldn’t arrange an Awards Ceremony this time – so make sure you search #GNWA2020 or visit our Facebook page to find all the winners videos and photos online!
