Stockport Events has once again come out on top at the regional Wedding Industry Awards, with Bramall Hall was named Best (Historic) Wedding Venue.
Bramall Hall and the events team received the accolade at an awards ceremony on Tuesday 7 November in Clitheroe and will now go on to compete in the national finals which take place in London in January 2024.
Also shortlisted in the same category was Stockport Town Hall; Chadkirk Chapel in Marple was shortlisted for the Best Wedding Venue (Other), and Stockport Events, which manages the council’s portfolio of venues, was a finalist for Best Events Team. The win also coincides with the town celebrating being named Greater Manchester Town of Culture for 2023.
Cllr Frankie Singleton, Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture & Sport at Stockport Council, said:
“This award is a huge honour for Stockport and the events team. I am so proud of all of them as they give so much to ensure couples enjoy the most wonderful wedding day.
“We now have three award winning venues in Stockport which is testament to all the hard work that the team has put in to give people the happiest day of their lives.”
The Wedding Industry Awards are judged by industry professionals and customer feedback, which enables suppliers of all sizes to compete on a level playing field. The judges consider client feedback, ethos, marketing collateral and the nominees’ offer, alongside other factors. Questions focussed on the level of customer service that the team deliver; how they listen to couples; how they stay on top of trends in the industry; and what the most important thing is they have learnt about our business in the past 12 months. Feedback from actual newly married couples asked about scoring their coordinator; how they interacted; and service on the day.
Vicky Eyre, Stockport Events Manager, said:
“To be shortlisted in so many categories was a huge achievement and to win a category was the icing on the wedding cake. I am so proud of the team, we are absolutely over the moon. This prestigious award really shows what a fantastic variety of venues we offer and what an experienced, dedicated team we have.”
In addition to weddings, Bramall Hall and other venues in Stockport can be hired for a variety of events including private dining and corporate away days.
