KENT WEDDING AWARDS
Oh what a night! The 2026 Kent Wedding Awards took place on 29th January at the Ashford International Hotel, with more than 350 guests waiting in anticipation to see who would be crowned the winners.
Sponsored by Sonas, and hosted by Sideways Media, the Kent Wedding Awards 2026, recognised more than 150 finalists across 31 categories and awarded accolades to 67 standout businesses within Kent’ s wedding industry.
After a pink carpet arrival and the fabulous Ring for Fizz providing welcome drinks provided by Ashford International, guests entered the dining room to the sweet melodies of the BBE String Quartet.
During the three-course meal, the excitement really began as the winners began to be announced by hosts Samantha and Adam Ready, along with a number of esteemed awards judges, sponsors and event partners.
As the winners were revealed there were tears, laughter, hugs … and even a cameo of Adam Ready in a wedding dress!
On a high from the amazing talent being recognised, winners spilled out into the foyer, where the pink carpet was rolled back to reveal the official afterparty with an epic dancefloor with live music from The Rockpins, a surprise set by Mr Ready himself and a late-night party with DJJG on the decks.
The night was one that won’ t be forgotten in a hurry – especially by the amazing winners, who can proudly say that they’ re the industry’ s best!
