As it turns out, WeddingWire will list anybody as a wedding vendor, regardless of how shady they are. All you need is a simple website, no body of work to show for and they will list you, no questions asked. Want to use stolen images in your portfolio? WeddingWire doesn't have a problem with it.

What's worse for couples, WeddingWire doesn't tell its couples that it doesn't show all vendors in their search. They only show those vendors who pay for listings. How does that help me as a couple planning a wedding one might ask? It doesn't. But it sure helps WeddingWire with their bottom line. So when looking for, let's say a wedding planner in Houston, WW will only show those listings who are "paid listings". There might be a bunch of kickass planners out there but we won't know because WW won't show them.

Lastly, when perusing vendor listings, I happened to notice a bunch that are written by fellow vendors as a favor. That's what the "endorse this vendor" function is for - but don't pretend to be a couple of give a star rating. Try to report this to WW? Good luck. Wish they had a "report this review" function like TripAdvisor does but then again, that would cost WW content and who wants that? Overall, wedding planning sites are nothing but one big scam, among them WeddingWire. They pretend to be there for the couple or the vendor when it is abundantly clear that they're only there for themselves.

Hi Tina,

Thank you for taking the time to share your open and honest feedback with us. WeddingWire is a neutral, third party site and we do not endorse any of the businesses we list. All vendors are discoverable within the vendor catalog as long as they have full business details and a storefront approved by our team.

Additionally, we take allegations of both copyright infringement and fraudulent reviews very seriously. As outlined in our Terms of Use, we only allow legitimate clients of a business to leave reviews. When you have a moment, please contact us directly regarding the violation mentioned and we will absolutely investigate further. Having a "report this review" button could certainly be beneficial to all and I am more than happy to pass this suggestion along to our Product and Development teams for further consideration!

Please reach out to us directly at support@weddingwire.com if you have any further questions or concerns!

Thank you,

Lauren
