Wow! What A Fabulous Night...

The InCREDIBLE Wedding Supplier of the Year 2012 awards ceremony took place on Thursday 15^th November at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre and was hosted by Ice the Cake and co-hosted by Britain’s Got Talent favourites from The Chippendoubles – Simon Cowell & David Beckham. The event was a glittering affair where 23 wedding industry gems were congratulated on their excellence. The Finalists and their guests came together to celebrate a range of inspiring businesses and people who work tirelessly to make many couple’s big day so special.

This was the second year of the ‘InCREDIBLE’ awards and I’m overwhelmed by the support we had and the success of the event. People travelled from across the country to celebrate with us and it was a very emotional evening for many of the winners. But the Fun factor was never far away with Simon and David on hand to spice up proceedings and we partied into the night thanks to local Radio Breakfast DJ Gaz spinning some fabulous tunes.

As well as saying congratulations to all the winners and runners up, I would like to thank everyone who helped make this a success; especially our judging panel and a huge thank you to the theatre, it was a spectacular venue to host such a prestigious event.

Ice the Cake Presents the InCREDIBLE Wedding Supplier of the Year Awards 2011

Oh my gosh what can I say...? Sunday was amazing for so many reasons. I was absolutely honoured to host an event that gave so much recognition to so many industry gems! From a chat in a coffee shop and a desire to find the 'credible and incredible' we created a national industry awards that saw people travelling from Glasgow to Somerset it really was just incredible!


THE AWARDS!

Lovely centrepieces from Semi-Finalists Wild Orchid

Our InCREDIBLE Raffle Ticket Chocolate Bars!

I cannot begin to express how delighted I am for all those who reached the finals but every single person that received just one nomination should be proud of themselves as it shows they are working hard and that a previous customer has recognised that.
