Great book
Customer Rating:
I bought this book after I'd taken it out from the library along with a bunch of other wedding books. This one was the only one that I knew I could use when it got around to handing out the money for my wedding. The checklists for each type of vendor is the most helpful- I haven't seen any other book that has this. These include good questions to ask vendors before you sign contracts with them. Concise and definitely beneficial! Go to their website too- it's just as thorough!
Take it or Leave it...
Customer Rating:
In my opinion, it isn't worth paying for this book--all the same information is available, for free, at their website. I bought a ton of wedding books--and never used them becaue I had all I needed online for free. If you aren't a computer-y person, then go for it...but if you know how to browse websites, save your money for the centerpieces, photography, or other wedding detail.
Great resource for planning a wedding
Customer Rating:
This book is great! Of course it comes from the most trusted resource in wedding information, but that doesn't always mean something. It does in this case. I have been picking it up constantly since I got it in the mail. I was a little surprised the first time I picked it up because it is in black and white, but they really give you a ton of information that somehow isn't diminished by the lack of color. Anything that they describe usually has a drawing or diagram, or even a black and white photo. I have read a few other planning books and this one definitely takes the cake :). I would definitely recommend using this one as a resource, and I'll probably pass it on to my sister when she gets engaged.
Very Helpful
Customer Rating:
This was an extremely helpful book and it's not bulky. I definitely recommend it.
Some Good Advice, Mostly Hype
Customer Rating:
When my fiancee and I first started planning our wedding, we heard about this book and purchased a copy because of its popularity and mention in magazines and elsewhere. While there is some good advice, it's not the must-have some people say and it's heavily tied into the web site too, which is just more of a time drain. I think much of the material could be condensed into fewer pages and more focused advice. You won't regret buying it, but nor will it make your planning much easier IMO.
