Question About Reviews and Recommending Vendors

This one is for all you 'already married' ladies.

I have been thinking about doing a review... ONCE MY PICS COME IN...

The thing is - I have been giving some thought to vendors that I used. And some of them were fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. SOME of them were not so great and I wouldn't have recommended them whole heartedly at any point.

Now here is the question. There are some vendors - on in particular - that I was very enthusiastic about during the process and even the day of. But after all was said and done and I really am sitting here trying to determine if I would recommend this person freely. It's only after some time and space that I have really had the chance to think about the whole thing, review some correspondence and realize that I don't think I was completely happy with this vendor.

Does anyone else have a vendor or provider that you initially thought was great - but after some thought you realize they weren't all that fantastic?

Yes, and I have like a 'pre-wedding' grade, a 'day of' grade and an 'after the wedding' grade on a couple. I don't like the whole A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ thing because I think it makes each vendor's grade less meaningful (THAT IS JMO!! ) , so I started with A+ being the 'most amazing, perfect' and then I graded each one accordingly and if there were ones that after I thought about it for a while I wanted to lower their grade, I did, and I put a full explanation as to WHY I felt that way. On ones I kinda felt like, “Well, they did what they were supposed to, and did a good job, but now that I think about it they could have treated me better” for whatever reason, I gave like a “B” and then just explained why. You could even write what you’re saying here like, “I thought I was really happy with this vendor, BUT…”

I have no idea if this really answers your question… and I don’t know if I believe you that you’ll post pics….

If you read my review you will see that I gave very few vendors a grade or a rating. Instead I described what they did for me and how they made me feel and how they either made my day fabulous or were just there doing their job. IMHO my words spoke more than assigned a score to their performance ever could.
