You may nominate wedding suppliers from throughout New Zealand, across over 20 different categories.

In 2023 the NOMINATION / ENTRY process is that much 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 2023 ENTRIES is yet to be confirmed.

For example, Photographers, Florists, venues etc. 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!
