Global Wedding Awards 2026 | 13 Best Emerging Destination Wedding Matchmaking Platform 2026 – UK & LUXlife Wedding Booking Innovation & Excellence Award 2026 Imagine if you could find, compare, and book your perfect destination wedding venue in one go. This is exactly what WedAwai dedicates itself to with a platform that has quickly become a trusted name for couples who want a destination wedding without the usual uncertainty, helping them enjoy the lead‑up as much as the day itself, especially with all of their loved ones. As WedAwai is bestowed with its titles in the Global Wedding Awards 2026, Founder Martina Janda expresses how the platform is reshaping the way couples plan their memorable day. WedAwai’s contribution to this sector stems from a simple idea: to expertly plan not only a destination wedding but a pure adventure. This shouldn’t feel like a headache, yet for many couples, it often does. However, with more than a decade working in the UK wedding industry, and several years focusing on international celebrations, Founder Martina Janda set out to smooth the entire experience, offering guidance that feels personal, calm, and grounded in real expertise. WedAwai works with couples who are just beginning to explore the idea of a perfect wedding abroad. Some arrive with a specific country already in mind; others only know the feeling they want their wedding to have. Either way, the team takes time to understand the couple, their priorities, and the atmosphere they hope to create. “Sometimes they do know exactly where they want to go,” Martina says. “Other times, we help them discover it, Portugal, Malta, Cyprus… we’re adding new venues and new countries all the time.” Finding the right location is always the first step. Once the destination feels like a match, WedAwai sets about securing the venue, confirming the date, and bringing trusted planning teams and catering partners on WedAwai Ltd. board. Only when these essential elements are in place does WedAwai consider the perfect wedding abroad officially booked. From there, couples move seamlessly into the care of the platform’s overseas planners, who take charge of everything from photographer recommendations to flowers, décor, welcome dinners, transport, accommodation, and any extra celebrations woven into the trip. Behind the scenes, WedAwai has also built strong relationships with carefully chosen European venues and local suppliers. Many of these venues are family‑run or historic treasures that aren’t represented by sales teams, which means they often stay hidden from couples browsing the usual wedding platforms. WedAwai gives these locations the visibility and support they deserve, helping them shine while ensuring couples experience the authentic character of each destination wedding. Martina added: “It is exciting that couples don't waste time, money, and their sanity anymore. Perfect venues are selected for them and their budgets; couples, venues, and wedding planning teams gain clarity and know what to expect. Their guests are looked after too. This is a full booking infrastructure and ecosystem working in harmony. And a lot more new developments are in the pipeline.” Transparency is another key part of WedAwai’s approach. Pricing is clear, information is consistent, and only trusted suppliers make it into the fold. Couples know exactly what they’re getting, and who they’ll be working with, long before they step on the plane. It’s this honesty, paired with thoughtful service, that has led to a growing international client base and a stream of hugely positive testimonials from couples who often describe the experience as completely transformative. “This is a new way to work and book a destination wedding. We are not only supporting the couples but also developing the most valuable relationships within our destination wedding venues and providing uniformity, together with transparent pricing, unified information, and trusted suppliers.” Contact: Martina Janda Company: WedAwai Ltd.
