Weddings & Events by Bethany Cook — ABIA Queensland Finalist 2025
We’re beyond excited to share that Weddings & Events by Bethany Cook has officially been recognised as a Finalist in the 27th Queensland ABIA Wedding Awards!
This incredible honour celebrates the dedication, creativity, and care that goes into every wedding we plan, style, and coordinate across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and beyond.
About the ABIA Awards
Each year, the Australian Bridal Industry Academy (ABIA) acknowledges outstanding wedding professionals across Australia — businesses who consistently deliver excellence through verified newlywed feedback.
In 2025, over 8,700 couples were invited to rate their wedding vendors on service, quality, and overall experience. With more than 350 finalists recognised across Queensland, we’re deeply honoured to stand among such a talented community of industry professionals.
We are so honoured to be recognised as finalists in both the Floral Designer and Independent Wedding Consultant categories — two areas that capture the essence of what we love most about creating and coordinating weddings.
Floristry, for us, is an art form — a language of romance and emotion expressed through colour, texture, and movement. Every arrangement is thoughtfully composed to tell a story, from the first bloom that greets guests at the ceremony to the final petal placed on a reception table. Each design reflects the individuality of our couples, blending elegance and authenticity in perfect harmony.
Equally, our role as an independent wedding consultant allows us to guide our couples through their journey with calmness, clarity, and heart. From initial vision to on-the-day coordination, we take pride in creating a seamless and stress-free wedding experience, ensuring every moment unfolds with intention and joy.
To be recognised in these two meaningful categories is a reflection of the love, dedication, and care that go into every celebration we bring to life across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and beyond.

The ABIA Black Tie Gala Dinner will take place on Wednesday, 26th November 2025 at Brisbane City Hall — a night dedicated to celebrating excellence, connection, and creativity within Queensland’s vibrant wedding community. We feel truly honoured to stand among such inspiring wedding professionals who continue to raise the bar for artistry, service, and authenticity across the Australian wedding industry.
This recognition as a Queensland ABIA Finalist is more than an award — it’s a reflection of the incredible couples we’ve had the privilege to work with and the heartfelt love stories we’ve brought to life across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and beyond. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your trust, your kindness, and for allowing us to be part of your journey.
With endless gratitude and love,
— Bethany & the Team at Weddings & Events by Bethany Cook 🤍
