Yeah, the boards pretty much $uck right now!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

WEll I was reading the BHB and I have a question for you.

IF you post a question on there... Please give me your opinun on this. Any feedback would be appriciated. and if you got negative feedback would you get in an uproar?

SOmeone posted that they wanted to know about Chateau Le Mer. I posted that I had been to plent of wedding and a few brunches there and everytime, the food that should be hot wass cold and the cold food was hot, and everything was too salty. I ended my post saying that maybe its different now that there are new owners...

I guess when I ask for opinuns...I expect to get the good and the bad...but I guess some people only want the good opinuns.

Personally I do not think I was harsh...I was actually being very nice abiut the place. I guess thats the last time I post on the BHB board and give my opinun...its NOT worth it!!!

Thanks for letting me vent!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Well, I guess some people are sensitive. I appreciate both positive and negative feedback, because if not, then it would just be blowing a lot of smoke up my toosh instead of getting honest answers. JMO. But I do think that sometimes when giving negative feedback, people can be a bit harsh, and they do need to keep in mind that it could hurt someone's feelings if they say something like, "I would NEVER have my reception at site XYZ, it's disgusting!" (not that I've seen that, but you get my point). Negative feedback is one thing, bashing is another.

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Can I just add something, it's not anything that has to do with what I just wrote, but I didn't want to call attention to it with a new post...Has anyone else got the feeling that MANY vendors have been posing as brides to be on the BHB board lately? I mean, it just seems odd that as soon as someone asks for info or says something negative, POOF, there's a newbie who's first and only post is to defend or promote that place. It's getting really annoying. And it's very obvious since most of the posts sound like they are coming from salesmen.

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

I totally agree Rachel! There are a lot of sales pitches going on here!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Glad to hear it's not just in my head!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Any MIL journal entries for us?????

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

I've actually been avoiding her like the plague! So there's no more for now!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Oh c'mon Rach...we need some excitement!!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Tell us what you were thinking about the first time you met her.......................

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Oh geez. The first time I met her was at like 1 in the morning, and all I thought was, "OMG, this woman looks like death!" She had on stirrup pants, a teddy bear sweatshirt and her gray hair was sticking straight up! She's not even pale, she's GRAY. And she has a voice like the Grim Reaper! But she did creep me out because she jumped up to give me a kiss on the cheek, and I was like, WHOAH, I just met you lady, back off! But it was too late, her pasty gray flesh was already pressed up against me!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Grey like a cadaver???

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Gray like cadaver. Yes.

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

OMG.....

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Rach...I just got a visual To think you still dated JT after that!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

just going back to the newbie comment...If I were a vendor...i think it would adventageous for them to create a B2B every 6 months or so...that could rave about their business...but they would have to put a lot of time into it...and let us all get to know "her"

I always wondered...if any of the ladies on here...are really vendors...

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Yeah, but if you are a good vendor, the word of mouth from the REAL brides should be good enough to spread the word. It technically should have the same effect as a fake bride. No?

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

Really good vendors that love doing their work and put their heart into there work really dont have to create that type of charade.

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not movig!!!

My point exactly. I just think it's poor ethics to do that.

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not moving!!!

Do you really think there are that many "fake" brides. I just assume that everyone for the most part is for real. I haven't heard that many off the wall great reviews for any one place, especially without pics.
I do agree though, that people are really funny when they ask for reviews of a vendor. If they get bad feedback they all seem to get offended. When I first came here, I asked about a DJ I was interested in booking. I think it was Jenn who kept saying watch out, she heard bad things. Not that I am saying she made the decision for me, but that combined with his really low price, and the fact that I met with someone I liked just as much, was enough to sway me. But that was why I asked, I wanted honest opinions, and I hadn't already made up my mind. I don't understand asking what people think if you already know what you want.

Re: almost 100 people here & yet the boards are not moving!!!

I don't think there are many fake brides...i just think it would be clever to do something like that...just my twisted thought process
