Sideways Media confirmed as new owner/operator of The Kent Wedding Awards

An exciting new venture begins for Sideways Media this summer as Brilliant Marketing Solutions delightedly announce that Sideways Media, renown local publishers of A Kentish Ceremony wedding magazine, are the new owners of The Kent Wedding Awards brand with immediate effect.

The exciting news means that award-winning Sideways Media, the family-owned and operated independent media, marketing, publishing and events company will now be bringing their knowledge and insights of the local wedding industry to the prestigious Kent Wedding Awards, where the best of Kent’s suppliers are recognised and celebrated each year.

Chris and Karin of Brilliant Marketing Solutions said: “From our initial wedding awards concept more than 12 years ago, to what is now, the leading and best-known wedding awards for Kent, we could not have found a better organisation to take forward the brand across the county. Sideways’ specialised and in-depth knowledge of the Kent Wedding industry, teamed with their access to so many additional promotional outlets for suppliers and couples, ensures that the brand will continue to grow its market presence and bring positive impact and benefits to wedding companies across the county. We have loved every minute of working in this industry and would like to thank every business that supported us over the years, and we hope that you will welcome the team from Sideways Media, who can’t wait to get started!”

Adam & Sam Ready, Sideways Media’s directors are thrilled to be taking on the new venture, commenting: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome The Kent Wedding Awards to the Sideways Kentish portfolio. As publishers of A Kentish Ceremony magazine, we’ve seen first-hand how important these awards are in showcasing and celebrating the finest venues and suppliers in the county, and the positive impact they have on both businesses and the couples who choose to celebrate their marriage, civil partnership or renewal of vows in Kent. We can’t wait to continue the amazing work that Brilliant Marketing Solutions started, while bringing a renewed Sideways creative energy to the awards. We look forward to hosting our first awards in January 2025, and look forward to announcing all the plans very soon.”

So what happens next? All the fantastic companies and suppliers who have already entered for the next Kent Wedding Awards will be contacted by the Sideways team to give an update on the upcoming awards.
