We are thrilled to launch our annual Best Of Central + Southwest Virginia Weddings!
Our region has become an elite wedding scene filled with incredible venues, vendors, designers and so much more. However, it can be overwhelming for engaged couples to even know where to begin. The Best Of Central + Southwest Virginia Weddings is a way for our readership to determine who the BEST in the local wedding industry are so soon-to-be newlyweds can use the results as a reliable resource in their planning. Whether you’re voting based off your own wedding or a wedding you’ve attended, we want to hear from YOU on who you think is the best!
Voting will take place from May 1 – June 21, 2026.
We will accept write-in nominations until June 1, but keep in mind that your nomination counts as your vote.
Please allot 72 business hours for your approved nominated vote to appear in the pre-populated choices on the ballot.
