I have A Beef
I think there are a few reasons. Sometimes, brides don't find this board until after they booked their place (like me) and want some feedback. Some of this feedback can help when it comes to dealing with the place, i.e., if another bride's feedback indicates that they are flexible on certain things. Or soon-to-be brides can mitigate extra costs if they know of other brides experiences with the place or vendor. Sure, in the perfect world, we'd get every ounce of feedback prior to doing anything, but given that that is impossible, why not arm yourself with information? Every little bit helps, I think. I agree you will always get someone who complains, but if you have already done some research you can weed out the stuff that is senseless. Someone posted here that her DJ (who I am also using) had trouble getting some special music she wanted. It was only a few days before the wedding and she was nervous. It helps me to know that and plan ahead a bit in terms of staying in touch with him earlier on. Her feedback was helpful so I can avoid the same stress. I think things like this are the main goal of asking. Also, the positive feedback is really nice to hear too.
Marla,
