WeddingWire Names Nation’s Top-Reviewed Wedding Vendors in Couples’ Choice Award® 2015

CHEVY CHASE, MD – January 14, 2015 - WeddingWire, the nation’s leading online wedding marketplace, has officially named the winners of its much-anticipated annual Couples’ Choice Awards® 2015. The esteemed list highlights the nation’s top local wedding vendors in more than 20 service categories, from wedding venues to wedding photographers. These winners represent the top five percent of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism.

Unlike many other industry award programs, the Couples’ Choice Awards® 2015 winners are selected solely  based on the quality, quantity, consistency and timeliness of the reviews each professional received from consumers through the 2014  calendar year. Thus, for thousands of engaged couples, the award symbolizes legitimacy, reliability, and a proven track record of success with other couples.

“Our team is thrilled to be a recipient of the 2015 Couples’ Choice Awards from WeddingWire,” said Jimmie Espo, Owner, 617 Weddings, Woburn, MA. “Our primary focus is developing a collaborative planning method and empowering couples to actively create their day with us. That’s why we are so proud to have our business practices recognized by our clients on WeddingWire.  We could not be more excited to be awarded this distinction by our couples, especially when entering a New Year!”

“We are always excited to start the year by celebrating the success of these top-rated wedding professionals,” said Timothy Chi, CEO, WeddingWire. “In our seventh year of the awards program and now with over two million consumer and peer reviews, we continue to emphasize the power of reviews and their proven impact on these award-winning businesses that are committed to quality, professionalism and top-tier service.”

WeddingWire has quickly become the world’s largest wedding review site, with more than two million consumer and peer reviews of wedding professionals. Approximately 90 percent of consumers trust online reviews as much as a recommendation from a family member or friend, therefore such reviews on WeddingWire help consumers make better purchase decisions by giving them valuable insights into wedding businesses and past client experience. These reviews also empower businesses to tell a story about their customer service from a different perspective.

“It’s always encouraging and humbling to win the Couples’ Choice Awards ,” said Heather Bryson of Carolina Event Design,  Charlotte, NC. “Past clients and referrals from WeddingWire are our biggest lead source and avenue for new business. It says a lot about any vendor when they receive so many reviews. And since people are usually pretty honest when reviewing companies, products, and services online, it speaks volumes of any business that receives this award.”

The WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® 2015 winners were notified via email on January 7, 2015. Recipients will receive the official WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards® 2015 badge, along with access to a suite of marketing tools to showcase their achievement and a complete list of the winners.
