Congratulations to the following businesses, which have qualified as an ABIA Industry Award Finalist for the 22nd Victorian ABIA Wedding Industry Awards.
Each business below has achieved an average Award Rating above 95% based on the verified feedback of their very own wedding-customers. Over 6,000 Victorian Married Couples were invited to rate & review their wedding vendors for the 2020 ABIA Wedding Industry Awards (Victoria).
The ABIA thank the Wedding Vendors which took the courage to be anonymously rated and evaluated by their wedding couples over the last year. We extend a further thank you to the couples who have taken the time to nominate & judge the Vendors which contributed to their Dream Wedding Day.
