Nominations are open until 31 January 2027
Couples' Favourites 2027
The wedding vendors couples love most, chosen by the couples themselves: gold, silver and bronze in twelve categories, from venues and photographers to make-up and music, in Gauteng and every province. Free to be in, and votes can't be bought.
Couples nominate, until 31 January
Couples nominate the vendors who made their day, on EWS or not yet. Every vendor with a page on Elite Wedding Society is in the running for free, and the five most-nominated in each field become finalists.
Couples vote, 1 February to 31 March
Each vendor gets their own voting link to send to their couples. Each email address gets one vote in each category, confirmed by email, so every vote is a real person.
Gold, silver and bronze, April 2027
The vendors with the most votes in each field get gold, silver and bronze, announced on the site, on social media and by email. A medal needs at least 10 votes.
What the medals bring
All of it free. Being in the running is free too: your page with at least 3 photos of your work is your entry. A field with 5 to 9 vendors awards gold; from 10 vendors, silver and bronze too. Every medal needs at least 10 votes.
