VOWS Awards

10/03/2022

We have made the difficult decision to postpone The Scottish VOWS Awards for a further year.

This was not a decision we arrived at lightly and while the awards aim to recognise the best businesses within the Scottish wedding industry, we believe that postponing the event will give the industry and community time to fully bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Scottish VOWS Awards are a hugely important event for the wedding industry, providing an impartial platform to distinguish and reward those suppliers who constantly put their clients at the heart of their business.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to working with you in the future.
