Oxfordshire's best wedding businesses have been chosen by happy couples to receive industry recognition.

The Hitched Wedding Awards 2022 give wedding professionals and businesses the seal of approval for couples planning their weddings.

Zoe Burke, editor of the Hitched wedding planner website and app , said: "It's been an unbelievably difficult few years for our sector, so it means so much to us that we can commend these businesses, and reward and recognise them for their efforts, based on honest feedback from the couples who have worked with them. There is no better judge than a happy couple who have experienced the vendor’s work first-hand, after all.

"We received so many incredible reviews for so many different businesses - it's so positive to see!”
