Tom Gibson collected the award, and was delighted with the win:

Now in its third successful year, the VOWS AWARDS 2007 is a fantastic celebration of Scottish wedding companies offering the best service to couples planning their special day. All nominees are entered on-line or by post by brides and grooms, and the shortlist was then chosen by an esteemed panel of industry professionals, including Sarah Haywood; VisitScotland’s official Wedding Planner, media ‘Wedding Doctor’ and author of the UK’s top selling bridal book the Wedding Bible, and Lorna Bruce, Product Manager at VisitScotland. This year, over 7,500 votes were cast by members of the public, making the VOWS the biggest and most representative awards ceremony of its kind in Scotland.

The winners were announced at the awards ceremony, a gala dinner at Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange, on Tuesday November 6, hosted by celebrity writer and broadcaster Kaye Adams who said: "It really has been a fantastic evening - the atmosphere has been so positive and upbeat. If these awards are any indication of the state of the wedding industry in Scotland, then it's very encouraging for the future."

Main media partner for the awards is the Scottish Wedding Directory, Scotland’s leading wedding magazine and Directory. Editor and Judge Lorna Leckie was delighted with the high standard of nominees and winners in all categories. "I'm delighted that the VOWS Awards 2007 has been such a successful night.

The Scottish Wedding Directory is delighted to recognise those companies that have gone beyond their customers expectations."
