If you used a wedding pro in 2023 but did not get married in 2023, please use the date you used their service – engagement or bo***ir photos are a good example of something that might not happen during your wedding year.

We do our best to keep voting secure, and we will discard any suspicious or unverified votes. Vendors eligible for votes qualify if they meet one or all requirements: are located no more than 50 miles of Des Moines, IA, do 50%+ of their business here in central Iowa, and/or participate in the central Iowa wedding community at shows, advertise in the area, or attend networking events.
