The Welsh National Wedding Awards has announced its 2024 winners

The Welsh National Wedding Awards, now in its 14th year, shine a light on the incredible Welsh wedding industry, with categories ranging from best bridal retailer, best venue, through to best florist.

Throughout the summer, thousands of votes were cast by brides, grooms, and their families, taking time out of their busy lives to say thank-you to those suppliers that helped make their dream day extra special.

More than 500 shortlisted businesses from every region of Wales attended the Welsh National Wedding Awards ceremony on Sunday 10th November at Swansea’s iconic Brangwyn Hall. The event was opened by award founder Jessica Rice before handing over proceedings to Welsh broadcaster and mental health activist Matt Johnson.

Founder, Jess Rice, told us: "Having hosted the WNWA's for 14 years, we are passionate about shining a light on the industry, recognising and celebrating suppliers from every corner of Wales, many of whom work incredibly long hours, passionately providing incredible services for a day that will be one of the most special in a couple's lives together."

Event host Matt Johnson continued: "I had such a lovely evening hosting the awards. A lot has changed, but one thing is for sure: the Welsh wedding industry sure knows how to party! Congratulations to everyone."
