Burnley based wedding celebrant Vikki Harris honoured at the annual Wedding Industry Awards 2026

Vikki was highly commended in the celebrant category at the red carpet ceremony held at The Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool.

A previous holder of the title of North West Celebrant of the Year at the awards in 2024, Vikki said: “I take great pride in creating meaningful, personal wedding ceremonies for couples, so to be recognised at a national level, based on client feedback and expert judges’ opinions, is incredibly special, and something I’m immensely proud of.

“ I’m so grateful to the amazing couples who trust me with such an important moment in their lives.”

Known for her warm and personal approach, Vikki works with couples to create bold, creative ceremonies that reflect who they are and what matters most to them.

Based on average voter scores and feedback from customers from the past 12 months, and the opinion of more than 160 expert judges, the 2026 awards saw more than 25,000 client votes cast for 1,300 entrants.

Damian Bailey, founder of The Wedding Industry Awards, said: ““The competition is tough, the standards very high indeed, but thanks to over 25,000 client votes and our panel of expert judges, the national winners have risen to the top in an industry that absolutely demands the best. “The Wedding Industry Awards are the only client-voted, expert-judged regional and national awards in the industry which is worth an estimated £15 billion annually. So it’s no surprise that wedding suppliers are working hard to stand out in a crowded marketplace.”
