... the one thing that always caught my attention and gave me some assurance that that a film might be good was the leafy logo ...
You must need two carts at the super market - what, with so many leafy logos stating: "Quality."

If you're a potential client looking to hire someone...
what matters most is what you read in the body of the email.
If you like, or don't like what you're seeing up until the end of the message...
a few little award logos at the very bottom aren't gonna sway your decision either way.
I may get some pushback on this... but there is some truth to what he is saying. I say some... because it is truly dependent on how educated the couple is. Personally, I find that most of the awards I see advertised have no value to me. ... for example, all these "car of the year" awards often go to cars I personally would never want, and if you're somewhat knowledgable in cars, you'll realize that some of the most well made cars are never even reviewed by those dishing out awards.. yet toyota, honda, chevy, etc all go flaunting awards by nhtsa or jd power that they won year after year... and Yes... I'm sure there is some value to it... but its so overdone its lost its effect. Few buy a car bc of the award its won. Same thing happens with these wedding awards... everytime around December my pages get blown up with these awards from vendors I follow. I actually had a groom tell me that he's gonna write me a review on fb, and I while I said that's def appreciated, I jokingly added, while you're at it, you can do weddingwire and google too if you'd like... then he's like who cares about weddingwire... $500 dj's can get 5 stars there too... those sites have no meaning. I was kinda surprised by that coming from a groom, and simply said glad you noticed there's a difference.It's not true. You can easily undermine what you write in the body by what you add in the footer.
Consider that the present generation of brides and grooms are the most informed generation of buyers ever to roam the planet. Most of them fully understand the internet, advertising, and the fact that no one ever wins and advertiser's award without paying for advertising. Likewise, it is almost impossible to find an advertising client who is not regularly featured or awarded by the advertiser.
If I were featured in the most prestigious bridal publication in my service area I would put that link in my email footer so that prospects can go there to read up and verify my work. I would not however, litter the page with and endless array of certificates awarded to me by websites where I pay subscription fees because it's appears so desperately fake. Everyone understands directory listings, and how online advertising works. This is not 1998.
...the fact that no one ever wins and advertiser's award without paying for advertising.
Completely and entirely untrue.
Example's?
You don't have to have a paid advertisement with Knot or WeddingWire for Couple's Choice or Best Of TK. I haven't paid for WW in a long time, and I just dropped the listing with TK.
Dude - it's a "participation certificate" not an award.
If by participating, you mean 10 positive reviews in a calendar year... then yes. it is. But I'm on the list of non-paying winners. I don't need more examples.
Maybe I will start calling my cat robust instead of fat, maybe my belly too while im at it.well i am robusty!!

So, you're some kind of "free'" subscriber and you send business to the knot by directing customers to leave reviews there?

I agree that showing those awards will probably NOT help you...
but it certainly won't hurt.
That's quite a stretch to say that something with no positive value would necessarily have no negative impact.
Authenticity is probably more important today than at anytime in history. The term "fake news" for example, sticks because people's expereicne is rooted in a generation of junk emails, scam websites, bogus claims, financial fraud, plagiarism, advertorials, and yes - meaningless awards.
