The Lagan Suite of the Hilton Hotel, Belfast was brought to life with a glamorous monochrome scheme this past Saturday, November 8th. The annual gala event was attended by almost 300 wedding industry professionals from across the province, taking their seats to discover if their business had landed a coveted Belleek Living award. Now marking its ninth year, the Reader Awards, hosted by Getting Married in Northern Ireland bridal magazine, is considered a landmark event in the calendars of the province’s wedding industry experts.

The awards were presented by Getting Married in Northern Ireland’s Editor, Emma Maxwell, whilst Cool FM’s DJ Sonya Mac, was special master of ceremonies. The top three finalists in each category received a beautifully crafted porcelain award from the evening’s main sponsor, Belleek Living.

Publisher of Getting Married in Northern Ireland, Dawn Hamilton said: “This year we have been overwhelmed with the number of votes cast by our readers, with almost 15,000 cast. We were delighted to honour the dedication of the wedding businesses and are thrilled at the success of the event.
