How does winning help my brand?
Winning a Best of Weddings award gives you major bragging rights! It builds trust and credibility among potential clients and helps them feel more confident booking you.
It’s a powerful form of social proof because eligibility is based on reviews from past clients and the positive experience they’ve had working with you.
It also gives you an advantage with added exposure in The Knot marketplace by appearing in the winners hub and when couples apply the awards filter to narrow down results.
