When a bride is given a referral from the venue or coordinator that she is using, she trusts that the referral is being given for the right reasons. After all, why would a venue or coordinator refer a vendor that they don't consider the best quality vendor for that bride on her wedding day? Well the dirty little secret that has become an issue recently in the area, is that some venues and coordinators have been asking for and receiving cash back from the vendors they refer. What this does is remove the integrity of the referral. I personally as a wedding vendor have been approached by both venues and coordinators for "kick backs". I have refused the offers. This has cost me business, I know for sure. I will not name names is this article. That is not what this is about. What I want to accomplish with this article, is to expose the issue for people that assume they are getting referrals for the right reason.

StocktonWeddings.com was created to provide local area brides with information on vendors in their local area. The National websites do not service our San Joaquin valley brides very well, as you may have noticed. When you put in your zip code, they highlight the highest paying vendors first, even though they may not really be in the San Joaquin Valley. Most often they are in the larger markets like the Bay Area or even father away than that. Bridal shows are nice, but they often have only limited vendors or push you through like cattle to gather information in a limited amount of time. They are necessary, but they have time and location restrictions.
