Throughout the process, Sam at South Coast Events was a pleasure to deal with, making everything clear, transparent and easy to be involved in. We feel that our profile in the marketplace has benefited from our involvement and for that we are grateful!”

What are The Dorset Wedding Supplier Awards?
Now in their fifth year, the awards were created to recognise hardworking wedding suppliers on a local level and the success of the event has been phenomenal! Finalist and winner badges flood social media and websites and it has come the wedding industry event to look forward to in Dorset! Grown from a small idea, the event has grown into a local success story, and it’s truly an exciting event for all involved.

…And Then?
Once the judging process has taken place, the finalists are announced and invited to a Meet the Finalist networking event, along with the sponsors, to get to know each other and build relationships.
In November, the finalists are announced at the glitzy award ceremony with approx. 300 people in attendance. 26 awards are presented throughout the evening to well-deserved and outstanding wedding businesses, accompanied by a delicious three course meal and after party.
