Wedding wire has an expensive and dishonest advertising scam going. They have "spotlight" and "featured" vendors. Since this is a review based site it would lead me to believe theses vendors are spotlight or featured because they earned it. But this is not the case. Theses positions of importance are purchased. This is contrary to the FTC rules on online or advertising endorsements. It needs to be plainly stated that these positions of importance are purchased. The FTC needs to investigate this.
Please taKe the time and file a complaint with the FTC against Wedding Wire.
Hi Gary,
In regards to WeddingWire's advertising format, please be assured that we are fully compliant with all FTC regulations. Like many other review sites, WeddingWire includes sponsored posts at the top of its search results. Consumers understand that listings that include words like "Spotlight" and "Featured" pay for that placement.
If you have any further questions for us please do not hesitate to email us directly: support@weddingwire.com.
Warm Regards,
Lauren
