A Shropshire wedding venue's events team has been named as the best in the country after picking up a national award at a gala event in London.
The Hundred House at Norton, near Bridgnorth, lifted the Best Events Team accolade at the prestigious The Wedding Industry Awards - adding to the regional title the venue won before Christmas.
Award winners were revealed at a ceremony held at The Underglobe in London with The Hundred House beating off tough competition from all over the country.
The Hundred House already had an impressive record at The Wedding Industry awards having been named Best Barn Wedding Venue in the West Midlands four times in six years, but it now has an extra special national title to add to that list.
Gemma Johnson, wedding manager at The Hundred House, said: “I am so incredibly proud to be manager of such an incredible team of people - a national award winning team of people. What an absolute honour to hold that title.
“Our events team deserves this and more. Every single one of them put everything into what they do to ensure everything goes off as it should on what is the biggest day in the lives of our couples. This highest accolade is a fitting tribute to recognise their efforts.
“Judging for our award focussed on a range of criteria - the most important of which was feedback from couples who married at The Hundred House, and only award entrants over a certain score are named as finalists.
“Voted for by our couples from October 2023 to October 24, they are asked various questions and asked to score us based on their experience. Other things the judges take into consideration include views on why we’re different, procedures, and what help we give our couples along the way, as well as the quality of the venue, our website and social media.
“So our award win would not be possible without our couples taking the time to vote for us and provide some beautiful feedback. It really is most appreciated and helps us maintain our status as one of the best wedding venues in the country.”
In addition to success in The Wedding Industry Awards, The Hundred House has also been named as a finalist in the Guides for Brides Awards and the Good Shoot Hotel Awards.
The Guides for Brides Awards recognise and reward wedding businesses that deliver exceptional service and achieve outstanding customer satisfaction. The Good Shoot Hotel Awards aim to honour the most popular shooting stays, pubs and hotels, in the UK.
