CertifiedWeddingPros.com is a web page created to allow brides to find quality vendors for their wedding. Vendors who have all agreed to do business in a professional and ethical manner. There are MANY wedding planning pages on the web but CertifiedWeddingPros.com is the only web site that introduces brides to Certified Wedding Professionals.

As a bride, do I have to register to use the service?

No,  CertifiedWeddingPros.com is a free web site that provides information about quality wedding vendors in your area. We encourage you to register to receive updates and information about members, but you may use the listings anonymously and without paying a fee.

As a bride, what is the difference between a free membership and a Gold Membership?

When a bride becomes a Gold Member she pays a one time registration fee of $29.50 and receives an identification card to show CertifiedWeddingPros.com merchant members. Each merchant who has registered as an Elite merchant has promised to give every Gold Member bride a 5% discount on their service. It's easy to see how a $29.50 investment can save you hundreds of dollars on your wedding.

How can I tell who the Elite Merchant Members are?

Each Elite merchant Member is identified as such in their listing on the web page. Be sure to tell each Elite member that you are a CertifiedWeddingpros.com Gold Member Bride to receive your discount.

I've already started working with some of my vendors and they are listed as Elite merchant members. Can I receive my discount now?

Possibly, While technically you must tell every vendor you are a CertifiedWeddingpros.com Gold Member Bride at the beginning of your relationship in order to receive the discount, we have found most members are willing to extend the discount to brides they have already started working with. The final decision regarding discounting their service rests solely with each member.

How do you "Certify" your Members?

CertifiedWeddingPros.com has developed a Creed that we require each member to agree to during the application process. Merchants who want to be listed on CertifiedWeddingPros.com submit membership applications. Our staff reviews each applicant by telephoning past brides, competitive businesses in the merchants area and working with reception locations that have had experience with the applicant. Once all the data is collected the file is reviewed and a final decision is made regarding the application. Once an applicant is approved for inclusion in the web page they are listed on the CertifiedWeddingPros.com web page and they receive permission to use the CertifiedWeddingpros.com logo in their advertising.

Can a merchant member lose their membership in CertifiedWeddingPros.com?

Yes, we encourage every bride to provide feedback on each member that they use for their wedding. When a problem is brought to our attention we contact the merchant and the bride to encourage an amicable resolution. If a member consistently receives negative reviews without successful resolution we will remove the member from the page and not renew their membership.

Does CertifiedWeddingPros.com guarantee the services listed?

Each CertifiedWeddingPro.com member is an independent business. We do not have the ability to force any member to resolve a dispute and we can not "guarantee" every members performance. However, just as the Better Business Bureau is a clearing house of professionals the public can use to find quality businesses, CertifiedWeddingPros.com is an association of wedding merchants who have all agreed to abide by the CertifiedWeddingpros.com Creed. Each members dedication to professionalism is what qualified them to become a member. We have found that in every case to date where a complication has arisen the member has resolved the conflict in a professional and fair manner. Membership in CertifiedWeddingPros.com is simply to valuable to lose.

Does CertifiedWeddingPros.com distribute my contact information to it's members?

No, CertifiedWeddingPros.com does not publish your contact information, period. CertifiedWeddingPros.com is a service that allows you, the bride-to-be to identify those wedding professionals that are committed to doing business in a professional manner. Not as a lead generation service that sells your information to any wedding vendor who will pay the price. We want you to identify those wedding professionals you want to work with and contact them if and when you want to. You will not receive telephone calls, direct mail or spam from certifiedWeddingpro.com members.
