Frequently Asked Questions

When should wedding vendors ask for testimonials?

Send a request 1-2 weeks after the wedding, ideally along with a sneak peek of photos or video. The couple is still in the honeymoon glow and eager to share their experience.

How important are reviews for booking weddings?

Critical. The vast majority of engaged couples read vendor reviews before booking. The Knot and WeddingWire reviews are especially important for discovery, while website testimonials seal the deal.

Should wedding vendors ask for video testimonials?

Yes! A 60-second video from a happy couple talking about their experience is worth more than 50 written reviews. Use VideoTestimonials' video collection form to make it easy for couples to record from anywhere.
