2014 Victorian Annual Bridal Industry Awards
Press Release
Nic’s Button Buds
Announced as a Finalist in the 2014 ABIA Awards.
On Tuesday the 6th of May 2014, the Australian Bridal Industry Academy (ABIA) announced the Winners of the 2014 and the 16th Victorian Annual Bridal Industry Awards.
Over 330 Finalists congregated at the fabulous Leonda by the Yarra for what has become the wedding industry’s night of nights where the best in the industry are recognised by Australia’s peak industry body, the Australian Bridal Industry Academy.
The ABIA conducts a series of awards each year to determine the best wedding suppliers in each mainland State. These awards are determined by the only entity qualified to do so; past brides, who have been through the process of organizing a wedding and have rated each of their wedding providers based on the quality of their product, quality of service, value for money and attitude of staff.
A total of 7329 brides nominated the 253 award finalists for the 16th Victorian ABIA Awards.
The Chairman of ABIA, Mr John O’ Meara stated that, the pursuit of excellence is a goal which every business aspires to achieve. Being proclaimed as an ABIA award Finalist is the perfect recognition for any wedding provider. It is a great honour for Nic’s Button Buds to achieve this recognition of excellence. Mr O’ Meara went onto say that it was business like Nic’s Button Buds which complimented and elevated the wedding industry with their attention to detail and the pride, passion and professional manner in which they delivered their wedding product to the customer.
The ABIA was founded in 1997 as a means of enabling past brides to evaluate the performance of their wedding providers based on ABIA’s four (4) Pillars of Perfection being; quality of product, quality of service, value for money and attitude of staff. The ratings provided by past brides enables future brides to confidently select their wedding providers, knowing that past brides have ranked, rated and evaluated their performance.
The Chairman of ABIA said that “a wedding is a one off day where every provider must perform to the maximum as there are no second chances to come back and rectify faults, everything must be perfect. He went onto say that approximately 13 providers are engaged by the bride to design and deliver her dream day, should any one of the 13 fail to deliver perfection, it can create a domino effect which compromises all other providers in the execution of their duty of care to the bride.
