Have you been Weddzilla-d?

After my BFF's recent engagement, I was encouraging her to sign up on the Weddzilla site. It was then I realized, that I haven't even fully explored the site with my own readers... so I thought I would share!

What's Weddzilla?

I love Weddzilla!! Not only was I asked to be a guest blogger on their site a few months ago, but it was at the Weddzilla Launch Party that I won my very first "raffle" type prize towards stationary. The launch party was so much fun (samplings of cake and chocolate fountains, vendors from skin care to limo services, dance services, stationary etc), and it was there that I met the co-founders - Aaron and Kristen!


The story:
Basically, Kristen-while planning her own wedding to Aaron, realized the stress that surrounds wedding planning had a solution!

"I asked myself after dozens of unanswered phone calls and passed deadlines while planning my wedding, 'why can't the vendors come to me?'" said Kristen Carter, co-founder of Weddzilla.com. "We developed a site that will be a valuable resource for brides and the solution for brides' wedding stresses." {From the Reuter's Artcle}

So what is Weddzilla?
"Weddzilla.com is a website designed to help brides plan the perfect wedding. Our unique tools allow brides to post what they need and vendors have vendors come to them. Vendors can search the Weddifieds for brides whose needs match their budget, location, or availability. Cut down the time it takes to find the right vendors! No other site brings the Vendors to you and helps you stay within your budget!" {From Weddzilla FAQ Page}

Make the vendors come to the bride... Make the vendors come to the bride!!! What a great idea! You post your "project" (i.e., DJ's, Bands, Photographers, Florists, Hair&Make-up etc) and they "bid" on your project.

So if you are a bride in search of some new fresh vendors, reasonable prices or just want to see what options you might have - why not post a project? It takes two minutes to post and it expands your network to choose from nationwide instantly!

Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

UPDATE: Please take a look at Kristen's comment on this post. Over 15,000 VENDORS registered WORLDWIDE! Also, for any of you other great brides that blog, if you want to be part of a great site and share your stories, Kristen leaves instructions in the comments on how to do so! I love the site, Kristen and Aaron are FABULOUS and it really is "Wedding Planning SIMPLIFIED!"

That is an interesting idea, kinda like etsy's option to ask for a project and see who has the best bid.

How hard is it to join the blogging brides? Is it catching on much?

AmyJean said...

Well I think Wedding chicks has the Real Blogging Brides and Get Married TV has Blogger Brides. i'm part of the blogger Brides for Get Married and I also blog for Weddzilla... And I think both sites are currently growing :)

Thanks for letting me know about Wedzilla!

As a bride-to-be ever since my fiance proposed to me with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from www.idonowidont.com I am getting so stressed out from all the wedding planning.

I love that vendors can come to me...this is awesome, thanks!
