After achieving a nomination for the 2008 VOWS Awards I am once again participating in the 2010 Vows Awards (Voted
Outstanding Wedding Supplier) in category 22: Musician &/or
Entertainer(s) (day).
The VOWS Awards are voted for by the public
– by brides, grooms and members of the bridal party involved in a
wedding over the past year – who nominate their favourite wedding
suppliers. A pre-requisite to becoming a VOWS finalist or winner therefore
is to provide a consistent level of outstanding service to the bridal
clients.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
