Last night saw the huge success of the inaugural Midlands Asian Wedding Awards. Sponsored by East End Food, and jointly organised by Monsoon Venue Group and The Asian Today, MAWA’s mission was to recognise and award all those in the Asian wedding industry who have consistently proved their excellence within this booming sector.
The prestigious awards was held at the Vox Conference Centre and kicked off with a drinks reception followed by the awards ceremony and three course meal. The black tie event saw all the prominent and leading figures in the Asian wedding industry in attendance, as well as industry expert judges.
The venue was a picture of opulence with guests, winners, hosts and judges dressed to the nines. The hosts for the glitz filled evening were dynamic duo Sunny and Shay, of BBC WM 95.6, who kept the night going with effortless wit and chemistry.
In true Asian wedding style, the night began with a dhol drumming performance by Gabhru Punjab kids. Their bhangra dancing kept the room alive with colourful outfits and infectious beats. The audience were then treated to a stunning dance act by R & R Productions who oozed splendour and glamour during their set. The final piece of entertainment for the night was actor, writer and comic Abdullah Afzal from the hit show Citizen Khan whose stand up performance kept the audience in howls of laughter.
The winners were all presented with their awards up on stage with professional photo
opportunities on hand for everyone. The night was captured by the official photographer Bindi of Silver Fox Pictures, with the entire event specially filmed by B4U, soon to be shown on television.
