Based on Real Couple Reviews, WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® Recognize Top Wedding Professionals Nationwide and Abroad for 17th Year

NEW YORK, NY, January 16, 2025 — Trusted wedding vendor directory WeddingWire today announces the winners of its 17th annual Couples’ Choice Awards® to honor the wedding industry’s top local wedding professionals. 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+ in 2024 received a WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award®. The award celebrates top vendors that showcase hard work and outstanding service, exemplifying the qualities that matter most to couples in their wedding planning journey. Less than 3 percent of vendors on WeddingWire have received the Couples’ Choice Award®, making this an esteemed honor. 

“More than ever, today’s couples seek trusted experts to transform their unique styles and shared values into unforgettable celebrations,” said Casey Moujaes, Vice President of US Vendor and Global Product Marketing. “The WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® stamp of excellence, alongside nearly 5 million trusted reviews on WeddingWire’s Vendor Directory, allow couples to feel confident in booking pros that can bring their authentic and personalized wedding vision to life.”

“So many engaged couples go to WeddingWire to begin their wedding planning and find valued vendors,” said Cleo Brown, owner of La Bella Luna in Granbury, TX. “Being a WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award® winner means couples recognize our ‘product’—our venue—as an amazing choice. This recognition gives us such gratification that we have satisfied and exceeded couples’ expectations for their wedding day.”

Real Couple Reviews on WeddingWire:

Unending Beauty by Maria in Chicago

“I cannot recommend Maria at Unending Beauty enough. Her talent, professionalism and ability to enhance natural beauty are truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your wedding or any special occasion, I highly recommend her services. She will undoubtedly make you feel and look like the best version of yourself,” one newlywed said of makeup artist Maria Hernandez of Unending Beauty by Maria in Chicago.

Peachtree Catering and Events in Philadelphia

“Peachtree Catering and Events provided an outstanding experience for our wedding. From the moment we began planning, their team was professional, attentive and truly invested in making our day perfect. We also have to call out the service during the wedding. We can’t stress it enough—Peachtree takes care of their guests. They seemingly had eyes everywhere to take an empty glass or refill someone’s water but weren’t ‘in the way,’ for lack of a better way to put it. We can say for certain that the Peachtree team added to the experience of our wedding. We wanted guests to feel seen, cared for, welcomed and truly hosted—and they delivered,” one couple said of Peachtree Catering and Events in Philadelphia.
