What Does ABIA Do?

about

The Australian Bridal Industry Academy was founded in 1997 to protect the bridal customer and promote the

bridal supplier. The ABIA system is based on bridal feedback and businesses cannot progress to higher levels of Accreditation unless their service is of a very high quality and meets the industry standard. The standards are not determined by ABIA but by the only people who are really entitled to do so – past brides and grooms.

Suppliers can be inducted into an Accreditation Program, with 5 levels of Accreditation based on qualification criteria. The ABIA Accreditation Logos are a representation of businesses that we know have provided quality service based on the ratings received in the past. With the multitude of wedding supplier services available, we aim to make the selection process a little simpler and a lot safer so that you can relax and enjoy what should be an enjoyable and exciting planning process leading up to the Big Day.

 

ABIA Archives

The ABIA Archives are essentially a directory  of over 20,000
Australian wedding suppliers rated by over 30,000 brides per year. Future Brides use  these ABIA Ratings to
determine who the best suppliers are in each wedding categorey.

From this, we are able to hold the ABIA Award ceremonies in each state and to recognise those wedding designers who have achieved excellence in their respective categories.

The system of collecting bridal feedback is of the utmost importance to ABIA as it forms the foundation for the ABIA Accreditation and Awards system. This system has been set in place to ensure high quality service amongst bridal suppliers and allows the bride to easily  determine who the quality businesses are through the ABIA Accreditation logos.

Both the ABIA Awards & Accreditation logos provide the bridal industry with a means of recognising the highest rated wedding suppliers as determined by brides.
