The Wedding Expo was rated the highest with a mean score of 4.3 out of a possible 5 in the 1000 to 5000 m² event category.

“We are so proud to once again be acknowledged by our peers and to receive this award for the second year in a row. The team works tirelessly 12 months of the year to ensure that we deliver a high quality, consistent event,” says owner and founder of The Wedding Expo, Amanda Cunningham.

“Guvon Hotels & Spas has been exhibiting at The Wedding Expo for eight years. During the time we have seen the number of visitors grow every year and the quality of exhibitors bettering itself year upon year,” says Christa Badenhorst, group marketing and PR for Guvon Hotels & Spas.

“With over 15 years’ experience under the belt, this is one of the best organised expos on the events calendar. I can only applaud the team. Serious bang for your buck in terms of exposure to new brides and the media – the marketing and PR opportunities have never disappointed Guvon Hotels. The Wedding Expo still remains the expo to go to for any potential bride,” continues Badenhorst.

For the PMR.Africa National Survey on Event and Exhibition Organisers in South Africa, questions were put to a random sample of senior managers in the event industry representing event and exhibition venues. The survey covered a range of 14 attributes including the reputation of organisers, creativity, leadership, customer service skills and security.

Through these awards, PMR.Africa has created an opportunity where a company’s team can be recognised for all their hard work. The purpose of the award is to enhance excellence and set a benchmark in the industry.

The Wedding Expo, produced by The Wedding Group, is the largest bridal exhibition in southern Africa with over 32 000 visitors and 450 exhibitors over four expos in three cities. The Wedding Expo is also a founding member of the new organiser body, the Association of African Exhibition Organisers (AAXO).
