Celebrating the Best of the North of Scotland’s Wedding Industry

The Top Tier Wedding Awards are all about celebrating the regional and talented local wedding industry. The businesses.  venues and individuals who make weddings across the North of Scotland so special.

Our aim is simple: to recognise excellence, reward outstanding service and help great local wedding businesses grow. Also to give couples planning their big day a credible and trusted route to discover quality suppliers. The providers who have been genuinely recommended by their previous brides and grooms.

From established venues and experienced professionals to smaller independent businesses and emerging talent, Top Tier supports them all. The people who support our bouyont local wedding industry.

Your Wedding – Your Experience – Your Vote.

Every year, couples who have married in the North of Scotland are invited to tell us about the suppliers who made the biggest difference to their wedding day.

Rather than voting in dozens of different categories, we simply ask the happy couple to nominate the the three top suppliers they used on the day:

GOLD – their number one supplier
SILVER – their second choice
BRONZE – their third choice

We then allocate each nomination to the appropriate award category.

All gold nominations receive 3 points, silver receives 2 points and bronze receives 1 point.

Voting continues throughout the calendar year and closes after 31st December. The businesses receiving the strongest support from their customers become our finalists. The finalists level of gold, silver and bronze votes then decides the overall winners for each category.

Real couples who have experienced the supplier’s service first-hand are the only ones entitled to vote.

Celebrating Success

Becoming a Top Tier finalist is an achievement in itself worth celebrating.

Every finalist has demonstrated their customers value what they do. Our category winners can proudly say they have provided a top level service. 

The year culminates in our annual Top Tier Gala Awards Dinner. Held each February the finalists, suppliers and wedding professionals come together for a fantastic evening. They celebrate the achievements of our local wedding industry.

Supporting Local Wedding Businesses

Top Tier is about much more than presenting awards.

We want to create a positive community that supports, encourages and promotes local businesses while making it easier for couples to find wedding suppliers they can trust.

Being recognised as a Top Tier Verified Supplier gives businesses another way to demonstrate their positive reputation and helps introduce them to couples currently planning their weddings.

Regular finalists can show that they consistently deliver a high standard of service, while becoming a Top Tier Award winner provides an additional mark of recognition that businesses can proudly promote.
