Review system on WeddingWire

Natalie, on March 23, 2017 at 3:49 PM Posted in Planning 0 12

Does anyone else have an issue with the way reviews are done on WeddingWire? Because your name and wedding date are attached, the vendors know exactly who provided the review. No wonder EVERY vendor has 5 stars.

I just gave a review to a terrible hair/makeup trial company, and they harassed my mother and I for 5 days to remove the review. I never removed it, but after looking at their page, it is no longer there. (I have a screenshot of the review, so there is proof!)

Curious if anyone else had similar experiences or hesitancy about the review process.

    If you go to your settings you can turn "Public Reviews" off which would hide your personal information. That's not okay that they harassed you.

    Contact ww. they probably said you weren't a customer, so the review was removed. if you can prove you were, they can't remove it.

    Wow, that is awful. I am so sorry they were going after you to change or remove the review.

    I've seen reviews of my vendors listed as "Private User" - maybe you can change your settings for the purpose of leaving reviews? I am not sure. Sorry that I'm no help, but I'm angry for you that this happened!

    Thanks guys! I will change to anonymous and reach out to ww. I definitely paid them good money for a trial so that is not a lie!

    Hi Natalie! Like @futuremrsmack posted, there is an option in your account settings to write a review anonymously so that the vendor will not see your name or wedding date.

    I know you're in touch with our support team right now, but I do want to clarify that you have not submitted any WW reviews from this account. Do you have a different WW account you or your fiance uses? If the vendor was disputing your review I would still see it in your account, and right now there is nothing.

    Please send the review screenshot to our support team!!

    I saw the screenshot of the review and that's definitely not on WW - the formatting, design, and displayed user information is completely different than our site. Are there other wedding websites you use where you could have left this review?

    Wow. Bridebrain got me all mixed up. Happy I learned that I can go on private profile and feel like I can give more candid reviews though!
