Ireland’s wedding industry is made up of thousands of people who work hard to help couples create their perfect wedding day. From venues and photographers to florists, bands, planners, bridal suppliers and entertainers, every supplier plays an important part.
The National Wedding Industry Awards 2027 are an opportunity to recognise the businesses and people who make a difference to couples across Ireland.
This year, suppliers have another chance to put their work forward, receive recognition and celebrate their achievements with others from the wedding industry.
A Chance to Be Recognised
Running a wedding business takes commitment. Suppliers work with couples for months, and sometimes years, to help them plan one of the most important days of their lives.
There are meetings, emails, planning, preparation and plenty of last-minute details to manage. Much of this work happens behind the scenes.
The National Wedding Industry Awards give suppliers an opportunity to receive recognition for that work.
Whether you are a wedding venue, photographer, florist, wedding band, celebrant, planner, bridal supplier or another wedding professional, the awards provide an opportunity to showcase what your business does.
Voting Opens on 22nd September 2026
The voting period for the National Wedding Industry Awards 2027 begins on Tuesday 22nd September 2026.
This is an important date for businesses taking part, as it gives couples, customers and supporters the opportunity to show their appreciation for their favourite wedding suppliers.
If your business has been nominated, this is the time to encourage your customers and supporters to get involved and cast their votes.
Your past clients have experienced your service first-hand, so their support can be an important part of the awards process.
Voting Closes on 9th October 2026
Voting will remain open until Friday 9th October 2026.
With a limited voting period, suppliers should make sure their audience knows about their nomination and understands how they can support them.
Social media is a useful way to remind followers about the awards. You can share your nomination; explain why the recognition matters to your business and thank people who have already voted.
You can also use your website, email newsletter and other communication channels to let customers know that voting is open.
The key is to keep your communication genuine. Rather than simply asking people to vote, use the opportunity to talk about your business, your team and the couples you have worked with.
More Than an Award
For wedding suppliers, recognition can have benefits beyond the awards themselves.
Being nominated or becoming a finalist can be something you share across your website and social media. If you win, the award can become part of your marketing and help demonstrate your experience to future couples.
It can also be a great achievement for your team.
Wedding businesses depend on people working together. From the staff at a venue to the photographers, planners, musicians and suppliers working on a wedding day, there are many people involved in delivering a successful experience.
An award is a chance to recognise that effort.
Celebrating Ireland’s Wedding Industry
The National Wedding Industry Awards are also an opportunity for the wider wedding industry to come together.
Ireland has wedding suppliers working across every county, offering different services and bringing their own experience to the industry.
The awards provide a chance to meet other professionals, build relationships and celebrate the work being done across the sector.
For finalists and winners, it is also an opportunity to share the experience with colleagues, friends, clients and other industry professionals.
Gala Night at Johnstown House Estate
The awards journey will come to a close at the Gala Night on Tuesday 2nd February 2027.
The event will take place at Johnstown House Estate, bringing wedding professionals together for an evening of celebration and recognition.
For those who have been nominated, shortlisted or selected as finalists, the Gala Night will be an opportunity to celebrate their achievements and find out who will take home an award.
It will also be a chance to spend an evening with fellow wedding professionals and recognise the contribution they make to Ireland’s wedding industry.
