You may nominate wedding suppliers from throughout New Zealand, across over 20 different categories.
In 2020 we have changed the NOMINATION / ENTRY process to make it easier for businesses. Once a business has been confirmed as having been nominated (and if the nominated business accepts the nomination and elects to enter the awards process), they can ENTER. The closing date for the ALL 2020 ENTRIES is SUNDAY, JUNE 7th 2020, 9:00pm {NZ time}.
For example, Photographers, Florists, venues etc. (Click nomination form for categories). Anyone can nominate any wedding supplier(s), seek nomination from another wedding industry peer, or if you don’t wish to wait for someone else to nominate your fabulous business – you can nominate yourself!
