Reviewing sites are for the benefit of future brides and vendors, used by newlyweds mainly to write about the job well done or settle disputes with their vendors. Some of the sites with reviewing options are more quality controlled than others. Most of the sites are open for abuse by vendors and customers by using fake reviews and unfair reviews, most of the sites benefit their member paying vendors with annual fees of more than $500 that includes leads and other options on their site or free for limited exposure. All are free for the brides.
The following are the most used review sites with Pablo's comments:
- BBB Better Business Bureaus http://www.sanantonio.bbb.org A lot of complaints for non members. This site helps the newly married by offering dispute resolution services. Expensive membership for vendor and free for brides research.
- Google Maps: for example, Local business results for weddings flowers near San Antonio, TX : Great source. Based on relevant serch results wich is very difficult, the best is not always the first.
- Yellowpages.com or superpages.com : Too crowded with non relevant or quality wedding vendors. However, many reviews to see.
- Decidio.com : Reviewing is low, needs more reviews.
- Weddingsolutions.com : Too crowded, difficult to navigate.
- Wedding Wire http://www.weddingwire.com/ : Is the most advanced and friendly planner site. Be careful with reviewers without a profile and similar comments for the same vendor with the same writing style, or only one vendor review on the reviewer profile. The best reviewers usually rate most of their vendors.
As bride, groom or planner, it's your option to find out if your prospective vendor is a negative force in this market. Dont be the boy who cried wolf, knowledge is power.
Thank you for your comments.
