Very very pushy when it came to getting a check for their 'advertising.' Then...nothing until May of the next year.

The extortion like feeling kicks in when you HAVE to buy in to magazines to be referred by venues you've EARNED referrals from. Then the whole 'pay-to-play' BS becomes apparent, except:

They took 8 months to get to print!

Brides start planning in January.

You lose half the year buy delaying the printing. Then the books so late to be printed result in NOTHING. They don't come close to paying for themselves.

I'd have been better off dividing the cost by 20-30 brides and giving them a gift just for having a consultation.

Never again will I advertise with this magazine. Useless!
