The Australian Bridal Industry Academy was founded in 1997 as a National Industry Authority designed to distinguish quality wedding suppliers as determined by brides. Since then ABIA have assisted over 70,000 brides to select the best suppliers from over 30,000 wedding suppliers who have been ranked, rated and evaluated by past brides. The ABIA Accreditation program is open to all wedding suppliers who demonstrate a high standard of quality and service.
ABIA gathers feedback from brides about suppliers – referred to as the ‘Bridal Rating’ – and uses this as the basis of the ABIA Accreditation Program.
