What are the BONS Wedding Awards?
From cake tastings to dress fittings to venue selections, the wedding planning process can be intimidating! To celebrate the North Shore experts who make wedding dreams a reality, Northshore magazine launched the annual “Best of the North Shore” (BONS) Wedding Awards. The results will be featured in the January/February 2019 Wedding + Travel issue! We have six categories—attire, beauty, details, menu, setting, and the plan—and 40 sub-categories.
Who can be nominated?
Any commercial business based on the North Shore of Boston specializing in one of our 40 wedding award categories. Only local businesses or locally owned, independent franchises are eligible for a nomination and award.
How did you pick your nominees?
Our panel of editors and executives select based on research and knowledge of the North Shore wedding industry. People can also write in and request they be added as a nominee. Write-in nominations are open Saturday, September 1, 2018 through Wednesday, September 5, 2018.
Can I suggest a nominee?
