Planning a wedding involves days spent contacting suppliers and checking credentials. With possibly up to 20 services to book, that could be around 40 hours of research - and with no guarantee you’ll definitely find the right people. Particularly as reviews don't always tell the whole story - and independent studies indicate up to 30% of reviews may be fake or manipulated.
The good news is, we’ve done the due diligence for you! We thoroughly assess wedding professionals and limit listings to just 16 per category per county.
Round One
As a starting point, wedding professionals must have at least three years’ experience and be able to answer ‘yes’ to one of these questions:
Wedding venue preferred supplier?
Wedding awards finalist?
Over 25 five star Google reviews?
Round Two
Wedding professionals then complete our thorough online assessment, which is scored on:
Experience, Reputation, Professionalism, Reliability, Compliance, Communication, Values & Standards.
For your peace of mind, our assessment process ensures we only shortlist the most exceptional, local wedding professionals.
Our shortlists of exceptional local wedding professionals will be published in stages as each category in each county reaches a minimum of eight successful applicants.
We’re currently inviting applications from wedding professionals in these categories and counties:
Wedding Cake Makers, Wedding Caterers, Wedding Décor Specialists, Wedding Florists, Wedding Hair & MakeUp Artists, Wedding Live Musicians (Day & Evening), Wedding Photographers, Wedding Registrars & Celebrants & Wedding Videographers.
Berkshire, Cambridgeshire, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex.
More categories and counties will be added in 2026.
