Northamptonshire hotel named finalist in national wedding awards
Northamptonshire wedding venue, The Stanwick Hotel, has been named a finalist in the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards 2026, recognising outstanding customer experience within the UK wedding industry.
Guides for Brides is one of the UK’s leading wedding directories and planning platforms, supporting couples with advice and recommendations for wedding venues and suppliers nationwide.
The customer service awards have been running for 10 years and provide national recognition for wedding businesses, based on the quality and quantity of reviews left on guidesforbrides.co.uk.
They are open to every business represented on the platform over the past year.
Elizabeth Bates, managing director at The Stanwick Hotel, said: “It is an absolute honour to be a finalist for the second year in a row, this is a true testament to the hard work and dedication from the whole team at The Stanwick Hotel.
"As a business in the hospitality industry, we are very proud of our wedding venue and we feel very privileged that our customers choose our
boutique hotel for their special day.”
Nikita Thorne, head of strategy at Guides for Brides, said: “Exceptional customer experience has never mattered more.
"In today's market, couples are more informed, more selective and expect transparency, care and consistency at every touchpoint.
"These awards recognise the businesses that don’t just meet those expectations, but actively raise the bar for the entire industry.
"Every shortlisted business and finalist should feel genuinely proud of the standard they represent.”
A panel of industry judges will review the finalists and select the winners before they are announced at a black-tie awards ceremony on March 18 at Oxford Town Hall.
