ABIA National Designer Of Dreams Awards 2022

Under normal circumstances, the Designer Of Dreams Awards are held on the Gold Coast, however, as the past two years have not been normal, this event was held online. In order to qualify for the award, wedding businesses have to be rated & reviewed with ABIA over 4 consecutive years, achieving an average customer-rating above 95% from a strong volume of clients.  

First, foremost and most importantly, I wish to thank all my beautiful couples for investing their trust in me and allowing me to be a part of their wedding day. It means a lot to me and feel truly humbled and honoured and to receive this prestigious award on top of being a part of your wedding day, is the icing on the cake.

The National Designer of Dreams Award represents the highest achievement in Australia’s Wedding Industry and whilst I have been fortunate to receive several over the years, this one is a little more significant to me. 

Why you may ask? Given the impact of the last two years on weddings and the fact that a volume criteria was introduced a couple of years back ('strong volume of clients' mentioned above), this inherently makes it so much more difficult for DJ:Plus! Entertainment to even qualify, due to my business model limiting the number of weddings taken each year to no more than 25, in order to ensure that each of my couples receives the greatest level of attention and service excellence.

Going forward, given this business model and the new criteria, I am uncertain that I will continue to qualify, however regardless, I WILL continue to deliver at the highest level possible and strive to exceed expectations for each and every one of my couples. 

BIG congratulations go out to all my industry colleagues and friends who also qualified and were successful in receiving an award. It was greatly deserved by each and everyone of them.

To conclude, I extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every person who has touched me in whatever capacity. I am deeply grateful for ALL of you and the opportunity to be able to be recognised for something I am extremely passionate about.
