I have found a new blog that I recommend to all my wedding vendor friends. It is called The Wedding Wire Scam and it is located at

Here is a repost from http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/do-not-trust-weddingwirecom-reviews that I will post on the Wedding Wire Scam page.
To all my Brides out there, do not believe a review that has been payed for. Here is an example below:
I found my cake baker on weddingwire.com and he had all good reviews - and now I know why.
I was very excited about working with Renee of Fatty Patty's. My mother and I went for a tasting and she had forgotten we were coming. It wasn't too big a deal since she always keeps some tasting cakes and icings around. They tasted amazing. I had looked at her website and knew she could create just about anything and her price was reasonable. I had brought pictures of a bunch of cakes we liked different aspects of (shape of this one, detailing of that one etc). Not too long after, we booked her. I didn't live local, so I left it to my mother and wedding coordinator to iron out the details. Overall, Renee can bake beautiful tasty cakes, but she does not do well at running a business. Dealing with her became a stressful ordeal. The end result being that there had been 1 picture I had given her just to show the ribbon edge and flowers on it, and she made THAT cake exactly. Ignoring that we had talked about a different shaped cake, and that we REALLY didn't like some of the detailing that was on that cake etc. But here it was - that EXACT cake, wrong shape, wrong detailing and all. But it tasted good and my wedding was fun so I just didn't care. If I had to do it over again, I would have saved everyone some communication stress and not gone with her.
That is the exact review I posted on Weddingwire.com since that's where I found her. She disputed it, got it removed, and sent a NASTY email that has my mother in tears. I found out later that she was nasty to my wedding planner on a few occasions going as far as to say "Maybe you should just go to Publix!" If I had known that, I would have.
If you have a picture of the EXACT cake you want - she can probably do it and it'll taste good. Dealing with her, however, left a terrible taste. And now that WeddingWire.com has pulled the review and seems to have no problem with her mean emails to my mother and wedding planner I have to say I am non-to-impressed with them!
Update!
It continues to get worse. She has futhered the nasty emails to my wedding planner and is now harrassing my photographer! I happen to have become good friends with my photographer so when she called upset, it made me livid.
For all Florida Panahandle / Panama City brides - AVOID Renee of Fatty Patty's!!!
For all brides looking for vendors - do NOT trust the reviews on WeddingWire.com!!
