Everyone wants to work with an award winning vendor on their wedding day, but a lack of awards and accolades does not indicate any shortcomings for a specific wedding vendor.
I often get asked how our studio won one award or another, to qualify the actual value of the award and if it will truly reflect the kind of service the couple can anticipate.
Some awards are simply given out to wedding professionals for be in or part of an organization, and although it may not fully qualify your chosen vendor , it should make you feel more comfortable knowing that your vendor belongs to their trade organization.
Since you are reading this post on www.WeddingAces.com, you may already be a fan of www.WeddingWire.com, the leader in wedding vendor reviews and a top, web based, wedding resource for couples getting married all over the US.
Wedding Wire, has a “Brides Choice” Award, which is given to wedding vendors based on the feedback collected Wedding Wire, through reviews, provided by the bride and groom. The very same reviews you can see on www.weddingwire.com.
Since the “Brides Choice” Award is based on reviews, it will offer legitimate insight into what you can expect from the vendor you are considering. Reading individual reviews will give you even more specific insight.
There are many other awards however, one award receive much attention and hold great credibility within the wedding community and shopping couples. The “Best Of” from the Knot.
Although the Knot does not fully reveal their method of how recipients are chosen, it is based on feedback provided by couples who have used the service and is coveted by wedding professionals and respects by couples, all over the country.
Some couples have even said, that when they see awards like this, it feels like the company was referred as they know to receive praise in your given industry, requires hard, work, great products and services and happy clients.
