Wisconsin Bride Best of 2026 Awards Gala

Wisconsin Bride invites you to join us for a celebration honoring the most innovative and talented in the wedding industry for the Best of 2026 Awards Gala on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at The Sylvee in Madison, Wisconsin.

The finalists were selected through an open online vote earlier this year by readers, followers, supporters, and peers. This was followed by a second round of voting conducted exclusively by the wedding community on the finalists.
