ARTZ MUSIC & PHOTOGRAPHY - 2012 BRIDE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER from WeddingWire!

Recognition for the Bride’s Choice Awards 2012 is determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 750,000 WeddingWire newlyweds. Our past clients are among those that shared their experiences on WeddingWire.com, the largest wedding review site in the nation.

The WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards ™ recognizes the top local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the organization, the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards™ are awarded solely based on the reviews from over 1.2 million newlyweds. Awards are determined by a combination of four factors: Overall rating (quality), total number of reviews (quantity), review performance from 2011 (recency), and consistency of reviews from year to year (consistency). This year’s recipients represent the top 5% of WeddingWire’s vendor community, across all service categories and all regions throughout the US and Canada.

SUE & MATT ARTZ previously received the 2010 BRIDE’S CHOICE AWARD and the 2011 BRIDE’S CHOICE AWARD from WeddingWire, as well as the 2010 and 2011 BEST OF WEDDINGS AWARDS from TheKnot.
