In its 16th Year, the Prestigious WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® Recognize Top Wedding Professionals Nationwide and Abroad

NEW YORK, NY, January 18, 2024 — Honoring the wedding industry’s top local wedding professionals, WeddingWire—a trusted wedding vendor directory—today announces the winners of its annual Couples’ Choice Awards®. In its 16th year, the Couples’ Choice Awards® recognize the exceptional vendors who demonstrate superior quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism, as determined by real couple reviews on WeddingWire.

To identify these distinguished wedding professionals, WeddingWire analyzed thousands of user reviews within its wedding Vendor Directory across more than 20 service categories—from venues and caterers to officiants and photographers—to find the top local vendors of the year. Vendors who have received at least seven reviews on WeddingWire with an average score of 4.5+ between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, received the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award®. The award celebrates top vendors that display hard work and outstanding service, exemplifying the qualities that matter most to couples in their wedding planning journey. Less than 5 percent of vendors on WeddingWire have received the Couples’ Choice Award®, making this an esteemed honor. 

“With the prestigious recognition of WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® and its comprehensive Vendor Directory, couples can discover the professionals who go above and beyond to expertly transform their vision into reality,” said Kim Forrest, WeddingWire Senior Editor. “Through Storefront reviews with honest feedback from real couples, it’s clear that couples view these vendors as integral partners in their wedding planning journey. We are honored to spotlight the exceptional service of this year’s winners.”

“It is truly an incredible honor to be named a first-time winner of WeddingWire’s Couples’ Choice Awards®,” said Simmy Bains of Pearls Event Center in Southfield, Michigan. “We pride ourselves on providing our couples with a personalized and positive wedding experience, treating them like our own family. Being recognized by our couples through their reviews means we’ve done just that. We are so grateful to the couples who enlisted us to help them create a wedding that uniquely represents them, and to WeddingWire for providing the platform to connect with, inspire and guide all the couples we’ve had the pleasure of working with and all of our future couples.” 

Real Couple Reviews on WeddingWire:

“I can’t speak highly enough about Srini & her team! She went above and beyond and her skill & creative talent shows! From the centerpieces to the florals & greenery and hanging buds from the chuppah … It was all just so stunning! Not to mention how efficient she was and ensuring no detail was missed. You’ll be so glad you’ve booked her,” one person said of Srini Perera of Kreative Hands in Los Angeles. 

“It was an outstanding experience with Brittney from beginning to end! She is extremely organized and was able to handle some mishaps without us ever even knowing there could have been a problem. She is very kind and calm and truly was a joy to work with… I would highly recommend Black Label Events,” one couple said of Brittney LaVoie of Black Label Events and Design in Webster, New York.
