• Diversity – We believe that the wedding industry should reflect the diverse world that we live in and that suppliers should embrace these differences within their business. By being actively inclusive of all the couples they serve.
• Honesty – – This is the backbone of our business and we expect nothing less of our members in every area of their business.
• Integrity – – We believe that all businesses within the wedding industry should consistently hold themselves to a high moral standard and consistently operate in accordance with their values.

All members apply to be part of the UKAWP and are scored against a strict set of criteria. They must also abide by the code of business practice. Membership is based on high standards, suppliers can’t simply ‘pay to be listed’. We understand how important each wedding is and believe all involved have a duty to act with honesty and integrity.
