They ate, they drank, they laughed, they sparkled:<br />
finalists and friends had a party to remember at<br />
<strong>Devon</strong> and <strong>Cornwall</strong>’s longest standing and most<br />
prestigious wedding award ceremony earlier this<br />
year. And VIP guests South East <strong>Cornwall</strong> MP, Sheryll<br />
Murray and Liskeard Mayor Phil Seeva were on hand to<br />
present the trophies.<br />
The South West Wedding Awards, the region’s ‘Wedding<br />
Oscars’ are now entering their 10th successful year,<br />
recognising wedding specialists who provide outstanding<br />
service and always go the extra mile for their brides.<br />
This year’s ceremony was held at a spectacularly<br />
transformed Launceston Town Hall, where the great and<br />
the good were entertained by Spanish guitarist Mark<br />
Banwell, close magician Dan Brazier and Luke Does Buble,<br />
before settling down to a gala dinner, complete with<br />
contemporary hog roast.<br />
Samm Riley, of Orange Chilli Events, who instigated the<br />
awards in 2007, said: ‘The South West Wedding Awards<br />
are the oldest and most prestigious regional wedding<br />
awards in the UK and we are delighted that other areas in<br />
the country are now replicating our success.’<br />
<strong>Dream</strong> <strong>Weddings</strong> magazine is delighted to have sponsored<br />
the awards ever since their inception. Director Helen<br />
Johnson said: ‘All the finalists are chosen on the basis of<br />
votes from their own bridal couples, so they’re a real<br />
people’s choice event. In that sense, every business who<br />
attended was a winner, even if on the night they didn’t take<br />
the top prize.’<br />
Moving with the times, there’s a change to the format for<br />
the 2017 awards – and entries close on November 1 this<br />
year. If you want to be among next year’s winners,<br />
visit the website at www.wedding-awards.co.uk.<br />
It could be YOU in 2017!<br />
The search for the 2017 winners of South West Wedding Awards has already<br />
begun, so if you’re one of those businesses that offers that extra very special<br />
something to brides, it’s time to get your name down.<br />
The competition has been carefully thought out so that both larger and smaller<br />
companies can be judged on an equal footing. National chains are prohibited from<br />
entering and finalists are chosen purely on the results of votes by brides.<br />
There’s a trophy, of course, for the winners in each category, but perhaps more<br />
importantly, there’s also the kudos and prestige of being able to display the winner or<br />
finalist logo on your advertising and literature. Closing date November 1st 2016.<br />
