"Winning the Bride's Choice Award has been invaluable to my business; it gives couples that extra push to pick up the phone and make an appointment."

Award-winning vendors are distinguished by their quality, quantity, consistency and timeliness of the reviews they received from their past clients within the WeddingWire Network, which is comprised of over 200,000 wedding professionals throughout the United States, Canada and abroad. For thousands of engaged couples, the award symbolizes legitimacy and reliability, along with a proven track record of success. "Reviews on WeddingWire have helped my business tremendously," notes Matt Celeste of Blueflash Photography in Providence, Rhode Island.
