Recognising and rewarding excellence in all aspects of business practice, the awards will reward the talent and expertise of those in the industry that make the big day the best it can be.

With a public voting system, the Northern Ireland Wedding Awards is very much a celebration of local talent.

Shortlisted finalists are a true reflection of quality and customer service as chosen by members of the general public. To enter the awards, dress makers, florists, photographers, caterers, and others throughout Northern Ireland have been nominated by devoted clients that have experienced exceptional service. Nominations have come in from far and wide for an event which is destined to be a sparkling evening in the NI event calendar.

The Europa Hotel, Belfast will host the glittering affair which will be taking place on February 22.
