“This year marks the second edition of the prestigious Hitched Wedding Awards.

Over 18,000 wedding vendors registered on the Hitched.co.uk platform were given equal chances

of winning.

2022 saw a boom in weddings after the pandemic; this year’s edition serves as a tribute to the

hard work we’ve seen in the industry.

Near And Far Mobile Bar is one of the Hitched Wedding Awards 2023 winners in the Mobile Bar Services category, making them one of the most recommended professionals by newlyweds on Hitched.co.uk.

Near And Far Mobile Bar, and thousands of other wedding professionals in the United Kingdom have just completed an unprecedented year for the industry – 2022 was the year of the ‘wedding boom’ following hundreds of thousands of delayed celebrations. Hitched.co.uk, a leading wedding planning platform and part of

The Knot Worldwide group, has announced the winners of the second annual Hitched Wedding Awards.

These awards are based on reviews by couples who married in the past year. Near And Far Mobile Bar has won a Hitched Wedding Award in the Mobile Bar Services category.

Near And Far Mobile Bar, received a total of 10 reviews on their online storefront on Hitched.co.uk and a rating of 5.0 out of 5.0 determined by the couples who planned their weddings with them. As of today, they have received a badge on their Hitched listing, which recognises them as winners of the Hitched Wedding Awards 2023. This badge will serve as a marker of quality to the thousands of couples who use Hitched to book their wedding vendors.

Last year’s awards were special, but this year’s edition holds even more value. In the words of José Melo, Vice President of Sales for Europe at Hitched.co.uk, “After two very difficult years of the pandemic for the sector, where professionals had to halt their activity and suffered great losses, this year we can finally talk about an edition where weddings were celebrated big.

“The professionals have worked long hours, without weekends off and have extended the season during

practically all of 2022. Therefore, above and beyond individual recognition, the celebration of the Wedding Awards 2023 seeks to serve as a tribute to all those professionals and businesses that gave everything to make the recovery of the industry a reality.” In addition to the annual objective of recognising the excellent service offered by wedding professionals in the United Kingdom, we have also added the objective of highlighting the incredible work of the professionals during and after the pandemic.

This year, with the boom in weddings, these awards were based on over 8.5 million couple reviews globally across The Knot Worldwide, a number that is growing continuously. With over 18,000 wedding businesses listed in the Hitched directory, the quality of service and level of customer satisfaction delivered by the winners cannot be underestimated. This is why the Hitched Wedding Awards is based entirely on reviews from real couples, who enlisted these professionals to help plan their weddings. This is precisely why ”This award has become an industry reference and a guarantee for couples planning their wedding every year,” Melo says. 

The Wedding Awards include the following categories: Wedding Venues, Photographers, Videography, Music and DJs, Cars and Travel, Stationery, Favours, Decoration Hire, Mobile Bar Services, Photo Booth, Marquee & Tipi Hire, Speechwriting Services, Wedding Entertainment, Wedding Planners, Wedding Cakes, Catering, Bridal Shops & Jewellery, Groomswear Shops, Beauty, Hair & Makeup, Celebrants, Toastmasters, Honeymoons, Something Different and Others, and can be found in the complete list of winners here: https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-awards”

Being part of such a prestigious award for us means just so much as we used Hitched.co.uk many years ago to plan our own wedding so we know what a huge resource and support it is to all newly engaged couples looking for tips and tricks on how to plan their wedding & what suppliers to use! Winning this award also feels amazing as 2022 was very busy keeping up with the rescheduled big events and weddings we had whilst also trying to be able to accept new business too to ensure the business could grow.

We are simply blown away by the support we have had from our previous Bridal couples who took the time to review us. THANK-YOU!
