I hardly ever write reviews... and almost never a negative review. I'm very pro small business & recognize a business should t be knocked for one bad experience... but WeddingPro is special, I guess.

Pros:
- They give ideas to change your storefront (the advice is similar to the advice a friend who just had a wedding would give... so you could get similar critiques for free)
- They can sell themselves (not your business that you paid them to sell, just theirs)

Cons/reality

- I pay $425 a month for my package that averages 30 views per month (that's the national average, my numbers are less)
- They lock you in for a year (seriously, no way of escape)
- I've had 1 solid lead after 9 months
- Leads seem fake... called one and it connected me to another DJ company who was also confused. Most are copy and paste questions. Some "leads" will answer 1-2 questions, then go dark.
- They cancelled a meeting with me the day of without my knowledge & I had to reschedule 2 weeks later.

Overall thoughts: The entire system is a scam. You're better giving $100 finder fees... at least you'll get some weddings. Unless you get over 50 weddings from them, you're cash ahead (math being $1000 per wedding & a $5000 year contract). They'll apologize for the poor experience, but would never even consider a partial refund or cancel the rest of my contract. They can't stand behind their product. That's why we can't write these reviews on Facebook.

Alternative ways to increase returns:
- Bet it at a casino
- Trusting a Nigerian prince email
- Have a $50-$100 finders fee (surprisingly much cheaper)
- Buy company shirts and advertise that way
- Buy nicer equipment to provide a better product
- Have prize giveaways
- Use Facebook ads
- Take the humanitarian approach and allow couples a choice of 5 foundations to donate to
- Buy a nice camera phone and post more pictures/videos
- Honestly, anything else is a smarter investment than WeddingPro

I'd bet at least 90% of the positive reviews are fake. When you read them, they're all fluffy & the same, no real experiences. A company doesn't get only 1 and 5 star reviews like this shows. Shameful company that can't back what they say, nor will help correct it. One star is much more generous than they deserve.

Tip for consumers:

You pay a fortune to advertise. Then you get scam messages, ghosted, and it leads you to wonder...
