About Ashley’s A-list, The Best in Nashville Weddings 2009

After receiving numerous requests from brides for advice, recommendations and ideas, ABG started a search to find the Nashville area’s absolute best in weddings, based on real insight from recently married brides, grooms and their parents.

The survey

In its inaugural year, the Best of Nashville weddings survey was made available to brides, grooms, and parents who cast their votes between December 1, 2008 and Jan 31, 2009. They submitted an astounding 2100 of their favorites in Nashville weddings – from wedding photographers to bridal makeup artists.

The winners

Ashley’s A-list winners truly represent the best in Nashville weddings. Being selected for Ashley’s A-list is an enormous achievement because Nashville brides have spoken and the list represents the vendors they love! While national praise is noteworthy, nothing is more rewarding than obtaining the adoration of those in one’s own community.

We congratulate our spectacular winners and nominees.

We thank all recipients for doing a fabulous job, offering stellar customer service and unparallel creativity.

The list of winners, runners-up and qualitative findings will be available later this year.

A very special thanks to Meagan Frazier, an ABG bride, who helped me compile data and ask follow up questions.

(Winners - please contact us for badge for your website.)

About AshleysBrideGuide.com

AshleysBrideGuide.com (ABG) is Middle Tennessee’s leading, online wedding planning resource. The founder, Ashley King, launched the website in 2007 after planning her own wedding. The guide was created by a bride to help other local brides find great local vendors, ideas and inspiration.

Disclosure:
Ashley’s A-list of the Best of Nashville Weddings was a survey of brides, grooms and others who helped plan Nashville weddings in 2007/2008. No advertiser was selected based on their affiliation with ABG. All winners were based on votes from real couples and their families. While some advertisers were voted “best” there was no exchange of payment to be named such, no influence based on their advertising payments and no payments were received from any winner pre/post contest.
