Just had a call from a very nervous sales-girl from planmyweddinguk.com

Anyone had any dealings with them at all?

I've given them the brush off for now. At £365 a year they seem a little steep compared to the likes of ampDJ and NaD, but if they're any good and people are actually getting decent leads, I might be prepared to re-think ;)

Mod note. URL edited to correct one. Subsequent posts refer to the incorrect one first posted.

Either I have done a typo that I can't see, or you should save your money. ;)

Under Music and Entertainment, there is one supplier within 100km of Birmingham which, by Benny maths, is 65 miles?...ish

I don't think I'd do it personally. Did they offer info on the amount of traffic they receive?

That's the bit that worried me - you have to go 100k from me to find anyone at the moment.

She did say they were short of DJ's at the moment to be fair.....which is where I got suspicious. Then she told me the price and I backed off without giving her the chance to say too much more.

Looking at the rate card (http://www.planmyweddinguk.com/files/rate-card.pdf), I'm guessing that you've been discounted on the gold package.

I'd haggle them down to £300 before considering. Sounds like they need you more than you need them.

Do a few searches as if you were a B&G and see if their site is in the top results - that'll help give you an idea of how likely you are to get any enquiries through them.

I've had dealing with them, they try to force the sale, I mean they hound you. Even after all my saying no, they still added me to their site anyway, it's been up for at least 3-4 months and not a single visitor has come to my site from theirs.

But also if you search around you'll see/hear about a lot of disgruntled customers who seem to have been charged on their cards for services they haven't asked for etc.

If anyone is thinking of using this site I would urge them to read the T&Cs very carefully. From their T&Cs:


8.3
When You sign the electronic Agreement We automatically apply a Home Page Enhancement Package at a fee of £69.99 plus VAT. If You do not wish to continue to receive the Home Page Enhancement you must tell Us by email on the above email address within 3 days of signing the electronic Agreement to ensure that You are not billed for that service.


To me, this reads "Whatever package you apply we will add an extra £83.99 to your bill in the hope we've caught you out and you haven't read our T&Cs clearly.". Being tucked away in the T&Cs, this hardly screams transparent pricing and it makes me wonder if it's the reason for this:

And, as there are no DJs on the site within 100km of me, I guess our local DJs already are being highly cautious!! Which speaks volumes! ;)

Before dealing with any company it's always prudent to check to make sure that all their details (company number, vat, phone number, registered address, both on the site and on T&Cs etc) all match up and are legit ;)

And also check for reviews. These are invaluable when deciding whether to part with your hard earned cash!
