Elite wedding specialists and businesses get shortlisted in The English Wedding Awards 2022 – Chapter 2.

The English Wedding Awards are back for the annual celebration of those who make our special day one to remember.

The list of the 2022 finalists is consisted of top names that create fairy-tale and unique weddings across the country.

The black-tie ceremony will take place in early 2022, where top specialists and establishments that have gone above and beyond in the sector will gather to celebrate their achievements.

The English Wedding Awards – Chapter 2 aim to recognise and reward those within the wedding industry in the North of England that work towards making the big day as perfect as possible, including the caterers that provide delicious reception meals, decorators that take care of the wedding venues and add the glam in the room or florists that know how to make any wedding flourish.

The glamorous event promises to be an unforgettable evening with numerous prestigious accolades ready to be awarded to the most deserving professionals that have gone the extra mile in the business and have seen amazing growth as a result.

A Spokesperson for The English Wedding Awards 2022 – Chapter 2 said: “These Awards are now recognised as the leading celebration for showcasing those that have demonstrated excellence in the industry.

“The aim is to acknowledge everyone in this sector that has shown skill, commitment and have the customer satisfaction as top priority in their business.

 “The competition is tough this year but it is time to acknowledge everyone who has shown dedication and professionalism in their workplace; two key features that make individuals and businesses stand out from the rest.

“With more entries than ever before, we would like to wish the finalists the best of luck and we can’t wait to welcome our guests at the ceremony and celebrate the winners with them.”
