DAWN MARIE HONOURED TO JUDGE THE YORKSHIRE NORTH OF ENGLAND WEDDING AWARDS, AUTUMN 2012
From the Awards promotion:
The North of England Wedding Awards in association with The Wedding Guide UK are Yorkshire and North East England's most prestigious awards for client service excellence. The Awards recognise those businesses which go the extra mile for their customers, providing outstanding service and inspiring their customers to want to actively and positively promote them.
As well as wedding planning, Dawn Marie Wedding & Event Design also arranges a host of Elite Wedding Fairs, Open Days, Shows and Style Events in the North-East and has a highly successful business section. With this wealth of experience Dawn has high expectations of what she wants from wedding professionals and is looking forward to seeing some of the best the Yorkshire region has to offer. Although occasionally working outside her area, Dawn mainly covers Alnwick, Northumberland down to County Durham meaning she can judge the Yorkshire region with an impartial view.
'I look forward to seeing smaller, independent businesses who deserve recognition for high standards of customer care, flexibility and who have built their reputation on delivering the best possible service. To have got this far in the Awards means your customers already think a lot of you - they have taken the time to vote and comment on the service they have received. I am not looking for those who just do their job well but those who do an exceptional job, who have gone above and beyond what they are required to do to ensure couples have the greatest day possible. It is an honour to be asked to judge for the North of England Wedding Awards and reward the best of the best in the North-East'
A BRIDE IDEA FOR A FUNDRAISER!
