Virginia Living is now accepting entries for its Top Wedding Vendors 2026 list—our definitive digital guide to the Commonwealth’s most trusted wedding professionals. This exclusive online list is a companion to Weddings 2026, featured in our February issue, one of the year’s most anticipated editorial sections.
Each year, we spotlight the vendors who help make Virginia weddings truly unforgettable—from florists and photographers to venues, planners, and more. This is your chance to earn statewide recognition from Virginia’s most widely read magazine and connect with thousands of engaged couples planning their big day.
To be eligible, businesses must be based in Virginia and provide a wedding-related service. All submissions will be carefully reviewed by our editorial team.
Deadline to enter: September 5, 2025
Selected vendors will be notified in October 2025.
If your business was featured on the 2025 list, you’re already in the running—but we encourage you to complete the form to ensure we have your latest information.
