No fake reviews. No fake ratings.
We don't publish star ratings, review counts, or testimonials we made up — including the small lies that the industry treats as routine.
What we won't do
- Display a star rating on a venue we haven't collected real, verifiable reviews for.
- Show a "reviewed by 312 couples" count when the real number is zero or unverified.
- Generate testimonials with AI and present them as real couple quotes.
- Display a "trusted by 10,000 couples" badge unless we can produce 10,000 verifiable couples.
- Buy reviews, exchange listings for positive reviews, or solicit only positive reviews.
What you'll see instead
For now, most venue pages show no rating at all — because we haven't built a verified-review system yet, and we'd rather show nothing than show fake numbers. When we do publish ratings, they will:
- Come from real bookers we can verify (e.g. via Stripe payment or signed booking record).
- Show the verified-booking count alongside the average rating.
- Allow venue owners to respond to negative reviews publicly.
- Never be hidden, filtered, or removed at a venue owner's request.
Why this matters
Trust in wedding portals collapsed in the last decade because the industry incentivised inflated ratings. Couples now assume every 4.9-star rating is fake. That hurts the venues with real quality. By refusing to publish numbers we can't verify, we're betting that the long-term reputation is worth more than the short-term conversion boost.
Reporting a problem
If you spot a rating on this site that looks made-up, email [email protected]. We'll investigate and either show the verifiable source or take it down.
