Get Listed and Get Nominated
If you are a Wedding Supplier, or want to suggest a Supplier who is not curently listed, then fill in the form on the right. We will get in touch and get you listed – it’s free! All suppliers have a login to the Supplier Admin where they can manage their contact information, register Weddings and therefore be nominated for ABIA awards.
Changes to the ABIA Rating System
The ABIA awards are open to any legitimate Wedding Supply business. However, due to the huge volumes of nominations, all of which required manual processing, we have implemented a new and improved nomination process.
The main difference is that Wedding Suppliers will have to actively declare themselves as being up for nomination. At least one supplier involved in a Wedding must, with the bride’s permission, register the Wedding with ABIA. Suppliers are then required to declare that they have serviced this wedding and the bride will be prompted, via email, to rate their services.
This means the business must be listed in the ABIA directory.
It is a change in the way things work, however the result should be a smoother process for handling the huge volumes of nominations.
