AMANDA-Louise Knight Weddings and Events, based in Dunster, has recently been recognised by The Wedding Industry Awards 2022 for its outstanding achievement.

The prestigious awards saw the best wedding suppliers across the South West head to Frog Mill Hotel in Cotswold to a glitzy evening with entertainment and champagne to learn where they were placed in a variety of wedding categories.

Although Amanda-Louise was not crowned the winner, she was delighted to be recognised as a South West Finalist.

This wedding award is all about the wedding clients: Voting to decide who becomes a finalist is down to the wedding supplier’s couples.

Criteria are based on expertise and merit in acknowledging and rewarding the best in the wedding industry.

Amanda-Louise said: "I'm over the moon to be recognised by my wedding couples and want to thank them for taking the time to vote for me. I'm thrilled that each wedding became their dream day, and it's an honour to be part of that magic. It made my day when I received the news I'm a finalist and to be part of such a fabulous award ceremony.

“This year ahead has been my busiest year with so many couples opting for a more personal ceremony. As well as being a Celebrant, I’m also an Independent Marriage Proposal, Weddings & Event Planner, so I know about creating the right moment for people.

“And of course, as a small business, I had some challenging times during the covid pandemic, so used the time wisely to restructure and now offer other services too, such as Toastmaster/Event Host and our Somerset Wedding Day Dog Chaperone Service was born; after all we do love our dogs here in the South West, so helping couples to have their dogs with them during their wedding is sheer pleasure.”
