The Welsh National Wedding Awards, now in its 15th year, shines a light on the incredible Welsh wedding industry, with categories ranging from best bridal retailer to best venue to best florist.

Throughout the summer, thousands of votes were cast by brides, grooms and their families, taking time out of their busy lives to say thank you to those suppliers that helped make their dream day extra special.

Almost 400 shortlisted businesses from every region of Wales attended the Welsh National Wedding Awards ceremony last Sunday, November 9th, at Swansea’s iconic Brangwyn Hall. The gothic ball-themed event was opened by award founder Jessica Rice before handing over proceedings to Welsh broadcaster and mental health activist Matt Johnson. 

Founder Jess Rice told us, "Having hosted the The Welsh National Wedding Award for 15 years, we are passionate about shining a light on the industry, recognising and celebrating suppliers from every corner of Wales, many of whom work incredibly long hours, passionately providing incredible services for a day that will be one of the most special in a couple's lives together."

Event host Matt Johnson continued: "I had such a great evening hosting the awards; the Welsh wedding industry sure knows how to party! Congratulations once again to everyone."
