José Melo, vice president of sales for Europe at Hitched.co.uk, said: “After two very difficult years of the pandemic for the sector, where professionals had to halt their activity and suffered great losses, this year we can finally talk about an edition where weddings were celebrated big.
“The professionals have worked long hours, without weekends off and have extended the season during practically all of 2022. Therefore, above and beyond individual recognition, the celebration of the Wedding Awards 2023 seeks to serve as a tribute to all those professionals and businesses that gave everything to make the recovery of the industry a reality.”
This year, with the boom in weddings, these awards were based on more than 8.5 million couple reviews globally across The Knot Worldwide, a number that is growing continuously.
