BRIDE MAGAZINE NAMES LOCAL BUSINESS "BEST OF BRIDE 2011"
Third Annual Online Poll Celebrates N.H.'s Bridal Industry

(Atkinson – July 20, 2011) Atkinson Resort and Country Club has been selected by the readers of New Hampshire Magazine's BRIDE as "Best of Bride 2011" for wedding venue. The winners, who were selected in an online poll, will be listed in the next issue of BRIDE, coming in September, and on the website, www.bridenh.com.

"It's the magazine's third annual poll," says Barbara Coles, editor of BRIDE. "We feel the poll is a way to recognize people in New Hampshire's bridal industry who strive every day to provide great service for couples who are planning one of the most important days in their life. We also wanted to give those who benefit from the training, experience and expertise of wedding service providers a chance to express their satisfaction."

The poll, which was conducted from the beginning of April to the end of June, had 45 categories.

BRIDE is a twice-yearly publication of New Hampshire Magazine, the state's largest lifestyle magazine. It is part of McLean Communications of Manchester, a publishing company that also includes New Hampshire Business Review, New Hampshire Home, Parenting New Hampshire and Destination.
