What Are the ABIA Wedding Awards?
The Australian Bridal Industry Academy (ABIA) was established in 1996 to assist in setting standards in the wedding marketplace. Each year the ABIA host 5 State Annual Bridal Industry Awards events across Australia, inclusive of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. There’s over 30 wedding categories with awards up for grabs, covering all aspects of modern weddings such as Best Wedding Venue, Best Bridal Make-Up Artist, Best Wedding Photographer, Best Wedding Planner and even Best Florist
How are the Winners Chosen?
All ABIA Winners and Finalists across all categories are determined solely based on the ratings provided by the Past Brides and Grooms of Australia. These are couples that have registered with the ABIA and have rated and reviewed their wedding vendors in terms of Quality of Product, Quality of Service, Attitude of Staff and Value for Money. Essentially, the winners are determined by the couples that have actually experienced the wonderful service of the venues and vendors.
