Negative reviews??
Anyone else have a problem writing a negative review for a vendor on wedding reports or wedding wire? I tried and with wedding reports they are making me fax them a contract?? I don't have a contact I wasn't the bride but in the wedding party So you can write good stuff but not warn brides about the bad stuff?? I was hoping to warn brides about the DJ one of my friend had. Totally messed up her wedding, first dance and parent dances to boot!! I don't want to make an issue of it my mentioning it to her because it would make it even worse. The wedding was in FL so it doesn't pertain to here so don't worry CT!!

Re: Negative reviews??
Not knowing much about it I will say that if I play devils advocate, it does make a bit of sense. It's one thing if people want to say nice things about a company... that doesn't hurt them or their business at all. But, if someone wants to say something bad or harmful, it can do quite a bit of damage. If there is no regulation or 'policing' of negative feedback who is to say what is genuine negative feedback and what is competitor's writing erroneous negative reviews to boost their own business? I have seen this happen on google for a jewelry store I work for. A competing local store had someone write extremely negative things about our store in a review. We could prove it was erroneous because we got their name and info and they had never ever been a customer at our store AND they work at the other store.
So, them trying to prove that your feedback is valid makes sense, however, requiring proof of a contract is a little stringent.
I agree however, that if you know all the important players, dates, etc, that should be sufficient. Maybe a neutral feedback rating could be an option for those sites (like ebay).
One person's opinion is not always the reality. But I am much more careful in how I make personal and professional decisions. It's a different world, for sure!
