VOWS Awards
We have made the difficult decision to postpone The Scottish VOWS Awards for a further year.
This was not a decision we arrived at lightly and while the awards aim to recognise the best businesses within the Scottish wedding industry, we believe that postponing the event will give the industry and community time to fully bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Scottish VOWS Awards are a hugely important event for the wedding industry, providing an impartial platform to distinguish and reward those suppliers who constantly put their clients at the heart of their business.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to working with you in the future.

At NSPCC Scotland we believe that every childhood is worth fighting for. We work across Scotland to make child abuse and neglect a thing of the past.
We run Childline, the free and confidential counselling service for children and young people which is accessible every day, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
We also aim to go into every single primary school in Scotland to deliver our Speak Out, Stay Safe programme, talking to children about how to stay safe and speak out if they have any worries or concerns.
In addition, we work directly with families who are struggling, giving support through our specialist teams.

Since 1999 our advice has helped thousands of couples find the perfect wedding entertainment for their big day. We have unrivalled knowledge of every popular wedding venue in the country and of course we know our bands and entertainers inside out. That helps us recommend the most appropriate entertainer based exactly on your wishes and requirements.
Our passion for customer service has helped us win 4 VOWS Awards and to be nominated as finalists by our customers every single year since the VOWS began. No other entertainment company in Scotland can make the same claim.
We’re known for our rigorous selection process when it comes to choosing which acts to represent and we’ll only agree to work with bands we’ve seen live and that perform to our exacting standards both on and off stage. In fact we’re so particular about who we work with that every band on our web site is represented exclusively by us.
No matter what your tastes, or the theme of your wedding, we’ll be able to recommend a band that will work perfectly, delivering exactly what you want on the most important day of your life.
Our service doesn’t stop once you’ve made your booking. We offer unrivalled support right up to the day of your wedding and we operate a genuine emergency helpline for your peace of mind.
You’d think a service this good would be an expensive luxury, but you’d be wrong. You’ll get quotes direct from each band with absolutely no mark up from us. Our advice is free and without obligation and if you do decide to book one of our bands you’ll get our multi award winning support for £25 + VAT
We’d be delighted to make sure you and your guests have the time of your life. Get in touch and experience the best service in Scotland for yourself.

When you book your wedding car it can be a great relief to know that this important part of your wedding is in hand. Here, at Chauffeurs of Carnoustie, we believe that wedding transport is much more than getting you to your wedding ceremony and reception on time. We are determined to help you have your wedding day dreams come true.
We know that, regardless of whether your wedding car has been booked years, months or weeks ahead, on the day itself, the bridal party is inevitably fraught with nerves, emotions run high, and panic lurks in the wings.
Our hand-picked and experienced chauffeurs will greet your bridal party with an easy rapport, calm, and an equally reassuring manner, to take you to the church on time, and drive you confidently throughout the rest of your day wherever you need us to.
