Pretty sure the last commenter was one who called someone a sociopath - but wants to blame other people for her negative experience?Laughable!

Energy sucker, privacy violations, out of side harassment - be safe and don’t sign up.
Reviewed on 2021-02-24T15:07:32
Horrible experience. Listen to the other people on Trustpilot and do not sign up. Weddingbee is filled with toxic commenters who are in horrible marriages and are set out to ruin your day.You cannot delete your account, and people will constantly appear on your post to bring you down and shame you without giving constructive criticism. This is a huge privacy black hole and many people’s lives have been ruined by this site. The site has no ethics and doesn’t care to protect your identity at all. I have been a long term user of this site and after getting constantly harassed tho some users are nice, I really can’t take it anymore. This site is a black hole for your energy and it will leave you jaded, exhausted, hateful and feeling like trash. Do not sign up if you want to be happy or want your marriage to work. The mods loooove to pick sides and delete your comments while keeping the comments that harass you disguised as “honest advice/not cozy hug answers.” If you check some people’s post history, they literally go around and poke holes in other people’s lives all day as if they have nothing to do. The mods are biased, cliquey, basically Karens. If you identity as a Karen, this site will be great for you.

Driving away users
Reviewed on 2021-02-12T11:01:59
I've been a semi-regular user of this website for a while but the owners are successfully running it into the ground.They stifle discussions all the time with no explanation - simply closing threads down. This is very understandable when a thread has gone off the rails or descended into drama - but it is happening all the time now on completely non-controversial threads.
The website is absolutely chock full of horrible, flashing adverts. They refuse to take on board any recommendations for improving the website and instead frequently do the opposite.
Request: we'd love a mobile app
Response: how about these auto-play video adverts instead?!
The website logs you out repeatedly; and yet they have now installed a feature where you can't even read the threads if you're not logged in! Maybe stop logging people out every 5 minutes then...
Utterly bizarre strategy. Determined to drive away their users and prevent new ones from joining. Well congrats, I'm one user who won't be coming back so mission accomplished I guess!

It's funny when they get trolled
Reviewed on 2020-07-27T17:50:29
No matter what-no matter what you post, there will be snarky comments. It is SO cliquey and to be honest,I laugh when the women get trolled by some crazy poster because it's so easy to rile them up.

Very toxic environment
Reviewed on 2020-07-20T02:53:58
Be warned, like others said it before, you can't delete your own account, comments or posts,so you can't stop the madness once it's started unless a mod decides to close the thread.
It's a very toxic environment, seems like they have an etiquette police there, be ready to be dragged if they feel you are "not a gracious host" and do everything the way they would. They disguise their rudeness as "honesty". They keep saying they are just being honest when they hurt someone with their brutal comments.
If you have an engagement ring that's not approved (too big, or from a chain store or whatever reason they decide that day) they will criticize the heck out of it. I remember there was a woman with an unusually large diamond and they zoomed in on the photo and circled the inclusions. WHO DOES THAT?
They also keep posting topics where they ask your opinion about political issues, but it seems like it's only for those who agree with them. If you dare to disagree, they will gang up on you and harass and bully until you finally get out of there. There are a few that will keep commenting and when you ignore them on purpose to avoid an argument, will private message you to make sure you got the message.
They also tracked down a person before (I'm sure not the only one) who complained about her maid of honor and posted screenshots of her comments ON HER WEDDING WEBSITE so her family and friends can all see it. Unacceptable behavior.
EDIT: I think the doxing issue was taken care of eventually and deleted (I can't find it anymore), but not in time, the family most certainly saw it. Please create a way for users to delete their own profile. Also, I would check on mods more frequently if I were you. Not sure if they are volunteers or paid employees. If they volunteer, I'd say they are not horrible, they try, but if you pay them... I would definitely have at least more frequent meetings with them about what's acceptable and how to be impartial and fair regardless of their political opinion, if no one has been hateful. Also if they want to moderate hateful comments, again be fair. I know it's hard but it can be done.
Edit #2 on 9-29-2020: my profile is still active, more than 2 months after my initial request to delete it. People, think twice before registering.

Gaslighting in Action
Reviewed on 2020-05-30T15:18:21
I've just now finally left this forum for good. The straw that broke the camel's back was how membersof this site delighted in spreading false information about the pandemic and the general air of "the worst thing about this global crisis is my wedding has to be postponed!!!". Ugh.
Like many women, I was lured in by the excitement of the consumerist aspects of planning a wedding (rings/flowers/venues/dresses), and eventually got hooked on the drama. I'll admit, that was fun at first (in a reality television, wine-throwing kind of way)---there were some outrageous stories. But eventually I realized that perfectly reasonable and perfectly innocent questions or opinions were being treated with blatant bias, snark and (inexplicable) venom by the majority of these "Bees". I started having flash-backs to the bullying I experienced as a young girl in middle school. The Bees operate in exactly the same way. They shower you with compliments and act very accepting, but underneath that they seem to be adhering to some kind of unspoken Bride Code, and the penalty for acting in defiance of that code is mob-mentality cruelty disguised as "honesty". If the user has the gall to question ANYTHING about weddings/marriage/relationships that falls outside of the "Sex and the City"/"The Rules" (so 1990s, basically) definition of what's acceptable, long term members jump on them en masse like wasps on spilled soda. Then we get the endless streams of "It's been a year and he hasn't proposed yet! He clearly doesn't value marriage (cardinal sin). Move on, girl, there are SO MANY great guys out there!" or "If the idea of marriage makes you nervous, that just means you're with the wrong person," or "You've been living with this guy for four years WITHOUT BEING MARRIED and you still expect him to propose? Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free!" or my favorite, in response to a woman who is wondering aloud whether she even wants to get married at all (again, cardinal sin), "You're not really happy with this guy, because no one could be happy in a relationship that doesn't end in marriage! He's just gaslit you into thinking you're content, because if we don't stop them, all men will jump at the opportunity to coast through a relationship without actually "committing". He's a psychopath and you're a moron for letting him use you like this. After all, MARRIAGE IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF WOMANHOOD (that's a direct quote, word for word. I mean....). Any poster who questions these hysterical rulings are in denial, of course. No understanding of nuance, VERY LITTLE practical advice, a lot of agenda-pushing and just straight-up cliquey behavior. Sadly, I've seen a lot of poor vulnerable posters driven to exhaustion and desperation over their relationships (which would have probably been fine if the OP had simply talked to their partner and not the Bees about the issue) by these "well-meaning" commenters, who ironically are actively engaging in the same "gas-lighting" they often accuse the OP's partner of. I really thought we had gotten to a point in our history where women would stop reassuring themselves by taking their aggression out on other women in words. Apparently I was wrong.
For a while I thought all internet forums were just like this. Then I started exploring Reddit as an alternative (a site the Bees are not too fond of), and Lo and Behold! Their Relationship Advice and Wedding subs are actually made up of people who are committed to giving sound, neutral and constructive advice. Sure, there are a few crackpots on there, but at least they're not running the show.
If you're a bride, specifically a nontraditional or nonconformist bride, and you need a sympathetic ear (and for some reason can't find a physical one to appeal to), stay away from Weddingbee.

Bullies
Reviewed on 2020-04-24T00:13:30
Only joined for less than 24 hours and already had to leave due to the rude and spiteful behaviour of certain members.I did report one post in particular that clearly breached the site rules, but nothing was done about it. Very upsetting. Seems like there's a bit of a theme of well known longtime users posting abusive comments and just being allowed to get away with it. Definitely won't be returning.
ETA - I emailed as requested on here, with a link to the thread in question. The matter was not resolved at all, in fact I got a very short, cold and generic reply saying "Thanks for letting me know about this. I'll use this instance to re-assess how we moderate the forums." I replied to this but received no further response. Disappointed and further let down and doubtful that any changes will be made soon on the site, therefore I'm staying away.
