On February 4th, Wed KC hosted the fourth annual Kansas City Wedding Vendor Choice Awards gala that recognized the outstanding achievement of wedding professionals from all industry categories over the past year. This gala allowed wedding professionals to celebrate, network, and foster closer relationships amongst one another, cultivating the spirit of community.
Businesses were nominated and recognized by other professionals in the local wedding industry. The top three nominees from each category were then voted on by the industry, and the winner was announced in full glamour at the gala.
