It has come to our attention that the comments feature on Bridesbuzzzing is being used (without even relating to topics) to post slander comments about venues. Bridesbuzzing is not the place to post your negative comments, we provide our blogs for brides to interact with each other and share the joy of their wedding day. This is not the place to bad mouth anyone, especially if your comment doesn’t even relate to the topic!

Unfortunately this misuse of our blog and comments has forced us to moderate all comments before approving them.

We do understand that many of you have problems with venues, and we encourage you to take them up with the venue or post on a website like hellopeter.com.
