Keep Reviews Coming Through Every Season.
WeddingWire’s own guidance for vendors is built around timing and personalization, not incentives — here’s how to request reviews the way WeddingWire recommends.
Ask every customer after a real experience — and if you need volume on a deadline, WeddingWire review packages start at $110 for up to 5 reviews.
Organic tactics that actually work
- Ask two to three weeks after the wedding, or after the honeymoon if the couple leaves right away — WeddingWire’s own vendor guidance is that this is far enough out to give couples space, but not so far that the experience has faded.
- Follow up once about a week after the first request, then again at the six-month or one-year mark if you still haven’t heard back — WeddingWire’s guidance suggests three to five total touchpoints.
- Never trade a gift, discount, or other incentive for a review — WeddingWire’s own vendor guidance treats a thank-you gesture and a review request as two separate things, not a swap.
- Ask couples to mention different details on WeddingWire than on The Knot rather than copy-pasting the same text — identical reviews across both platforms can hurt search visibility on each.
- Respond publicly to every review, positive or negative — WeddingWire recommends responding to all of them, and for a negative one specifically, waiting about 48 hours before replying so the response reads as considered rather than defensive.

Frequently asked questions

WeddingWire’s guidance to vendors treats a thank-you gesture and a review request as two separate things, not a trade — a review shouldn’t be exchanged for a gift or discount.
It can — WeddingWire’s own guidance notes that identical, copy-pasted reviews across its platforms can hurt a vendor’s search visibility on each one. Asking a couple to mention different details on each platform avoids the issue.
