Frequently Asked Questions
What are the minimum requirements for displaying the Association’s badges?
Any wedding-related business can join the UK Wedding Association, but must agree to our Code of Conduct, agree to transparency in benchmarking and have been successfully trading for a minimum of 12 months in order to display the Association’s badges.
Are there discounted membership rates for new, small or part time businesses?
We welcome new, small and part time businesses, as these businesses tend to have less access than others to a professional support network, and can gain the most from their membership. We want to treat every business as a respected and self-sufficient professional and as such, we don’t offer discounted rates.
Is membership per person, or per business?
Membership is per business, with the benchmarking and profile specifically relating to a single business operating from a specific trading address. So, if your business is part of a larger group, for example different retail branches, or venues from within a group, each branch or venue should join and benchmark separately. Anyone from the business can access membership benefits by using the single login provided, and any one representative can attend in-person events.
Can more than one person from our business attend events?
We give priority to one person from each business to attend event, with any additional attendees welcome if space permits. We will hold a waiting list and release any available spaces a week before the event.
Do you offer corporate memberships?
Our focus is entirely on UK wedding venues and suppliers who supply a product or service to couples or planners, so applications for corporate membership will only be considered where the business offers a product or service of genuine value to the wedding industry.
