As Orlando’s Best has grown, we’ve seen more nominations, more votes, and more incredible businesses competing across the Orlando area than ever before. Because of that growth, we made a small update to the way winners are recognized for the 2026 program.
In previous years, each category included three finalists, with one overall winner and two additional “Top Three” placements. While we loved being able to recognize multiple businesses, we felt the structure could be clearer and more meaningful for both winners and customers.
Beginning in 2026, Orlando’s Best categories will now recognize Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners.
The number of finalists has not changed. We’re simply refining the way placements are presented to better highlight the businesses that earned top support from the community.
We believe this updated format creates stronger marketing opportunities for winners, especially for small and locally owned businesses. Gold, Silver, and Bronze placements are easier for customers to understand at a glance, more recognizable in advertising and social media, and give businesses a clearer way to promote their achievement throughout the year.
As the program has become more competitive, we also wanted to create a format that better reflects the level of accomplishment involved in placing among the top businesses in the Orlando area. Finalists will continue to represent the top contenders in their category, with Gold, Silver, and Bronze placements announced at the Orlando’s Best Awards Ceremony.
Our goal with this update is simple. We want to continue recognizing the businesses that are making a real impact throughout the Orlando community while giving winners awards they can more effectively use to build trust, credibility, and visibility.
We’re incredibly grateful to the thousands of people who nominate and vote for their favorite local businesses each year, and we can’t wait to celebrate this year’s finalists and winners at the 2026 Orlando’s Best Awards Ceremony.
For many people searching for a family law firm in Orlando, that call comes after weeks or even years of emotional strain. It comes when a parent fears losing time with their child, when a marriage reaches a breaking point, or when the future feels uncertain and overwhelming. It is often the moment people realize they cannot navigate what comes next on their own.
At Conti Moore Law, those moments are met with compassion and clarity. Each call represents a family at a crossroads looking for guidance, stability, and someone willing to stand in their corner. The firm was built on the belief that family law should feel supportive rather than intimidating. People deserve advocacy that respects both their legal rights and their emotional reality.

Location and Parking
Our event is at the ParghEvent Center (formerly known as Rosen Event Center) at 11184 S Apopka Vineland Rd in Orlando. However, don’t confuse it with the Rosen Centre hotel. That is not the same place!
Parking is free but very limited! Please try to carpool or use a ride share app if possible.

Door Prizes
If you signed up to bring an approved door prize, please bring it with you to the event and hand it in at the registration table.
If you’d like to sponsor a door prize, submit your door prize here. Only bring the prize if we have approved it by email first.

After registration you’ll walk the red carpet. We’ve hired two experienced photographers to capture the moment for your entire team. Please, no selfie’s on the red carpet before the event starts. You’ll be able to do that after the program is over.
Drinks
The caterer is providing a bar that serves beer and wine. If you’re a VIP ticket holder, we’ll give you wristband at the registration table. This will entitle you to free, unlimited drinks.
Dessert
We’re bringing in a local caterer to treat us with some delicious desserts. Please, keep it to no more than two per person unless there are some leftover at the end of the evening.
Entertainment
The program will begin with a welcome by Brodie Tyler and then live comedy entertainment by Dan Altano. We’re flying him in from New Jersey to entertain us for the evening. Get ready to laugh!
Awards Presentation
Although we have over 300 categories in this year’s awards, at the awards ceremony we will only be announcing the results for a few dozen of them. Basically, those who purchased tickets will hear their category’s results.
NOTE: If you’re bringing a guest who represents a different candidate, or you’re employed with a candidate for which tickets were not purchased, please let us know right away. That way we can make sure all represented categories are announced. If you don’t tell us with enough notice, we will not announce the category (unless another finalist in the category is attending) and we will not have a printed certificate for you.
Once your category is announced, please make your way to the stage for another photo opportunity with Brodie handing you a certificate. Bring the entire team, if you like! Don’t worry though… you are not expected to give a speech. It’s just a photo opp.
Announcing Winners
If you’re unable to make it to our awards ceremony, that’s unfortunate because it’s going to be a fun evening! That said, we will be announcing the winners for all categories on our website the very next day, so stay tuned.
The Silverthornes’ life changed one afternoon after returning home from a relaxing family beach vacation. Their front door hadn’t survived a high-wind storm that had blown through their Florida neighborhood the night before—a common occurrence in their area. The storm left behind splintered wood panels, broken glass, and an unsettling, strange sense of exposure to the busy street. The lock had been broken, and the door was pulled off its flimsy, rusted hinges, tilting at an odd angle and refusing to close properly.
Jordan, the father, was able to temporarily reattach the door. With three small children to protect, his wife, Maria, insisted they needed a more secure replacement. Their home, less than 30 years old, seemed too new for such a failure. Jordan decided that the replacement had to offer more than a quick fix—it needed to provide lasting security and protection.
After some research, Jordan discovered ARMORVUE Window & Door Company. With over 125 years of experience, they seemed like the perfect solution. The next day, ARMORVUE sent Rick to assess the damage and provide a detailed estimate. Rick brought along sample cutaways and a full range of print and digital materials, allowing Jordan and Maria to evaluate their options thoroughly.
Rick went through the entire process, and patiently answered Jordan’s many questions, ensuring complete transparency. He even extended their consultation to make Jordan feel confident in the process. Rick was transparent about the process, and Jordan felt sure he wanted to move forward with ARMORVUE. Maria and Jordan spent some time discussing, and with so many options, they knew they’d find the right one.
Now, the only question was: Would they get a custom door to match the outside of their home or French doors to give their home that elegant style his wife had always wanted?
After much debate, Jordan and Maria selected the impact door. These doors provide enhanced security, thanks to their reinforced frames, robust construction, and enhanced security from wind and potential storm damage. That also means extra protection from any possible burglaries. Because hurricanes and storms are powerful, the doors at ARMORVUE are made to withstand these strong winds and are tested thoroughly. Not only do they have wind resistance, but air infiltration as well. They’re also rated highly energy-efficient, as they’re conducted with innovative technology to help reduce energy bills and lessen the impact on the HVAC system.
The ARMORVUE team promptly began work, leveraging their knowledge of HOA regulations. Rick helped Jordan secure the necessary HOA approvals and permits, ordering the new door to ensure it was ready upon permit approval. The entire process took just under two months, in accordance with Florida’s permitting requirements. Throughout, the Silverthornes received excellent communication and transparency from the team. The installers arrived on time and worked efficiently, ensuring a smooth installation. Afterward, the team conducted a thorough inspection to confirm everything was secure.
In Jordan’s opinion, one of the best parts about ARMORVUE’s products is that they provide a Lifetime Limited Transferable Warranty. If another nasty gust of wind blows through their neighborhood, the Silverthorne’s don’t have to worry about another mishap, budget for more expenses, or use their savings to fix their home again.
The new door brought unexpected benefits. Not only does it withstand Florida’s severe weather, but it also significantly reduces noise from the busy street outside. Once their front door is shut, their house gets quiet. No more honking horns or traffic sounds coming from the street outside. They feel protected, safe, and secure from whatever comes their way. Maria also noticed that the door’s energy-efficient design helped keep their home cooler, reducing strain on their HVAC system during Florida’s sweltering summer months. It was a small but impactful difference that made their home feel even more comfortable.
Thanks to ARMORVUE, the Silverthornes have peace of mind knowing they’re protected from storms, intrusions, and whatever life throws their way. The experience gave Jordan and Maria a newfound appreciation for the importance of high-quality home improvements. For the Silverthornes, what started as a chaotic homecoming turned into a story of security, comfort, and lasting confidence in their home.
