Hitched  Reviews 

After nearly 2 years with Hitched, can confirm it's really not worth it at all even if you have a complete profile, contact customers properly and follow up.

The overall charges are amongst the highest with the lowest reward if any, there may be hidden backlink benefits but going from our click trackers, not via Hitched.

Will be ending the contract and definetly not renewing, there's a reason contracts lock you in for a year.

They give out silly rewards for best suppliers for which we received although we had zero bookings on the year it was received.

We believe this company to be legitimate but definetly not worth it compared to many other options of promotional. Spend it on SEO targeting or GoogleAds for fractions of the costs without being stuck in a year contract.

On a higher note, for most part the staff have been quite friendly, not so keen on our male accounts manager, comes across very condescending and pushy especially if your not prepared to commit to more PR coverage, it's very much never there fault in his representation if your adverts failing to only bring in bots or false requests. This has been noticed mostly in year 2 with many being spam.

Please note this is personal experience amongst our company and others associated with us, it does not apply to all sectors. Just mobile bar hire, entertainment and venues.

Absolute waste of time full of fake leads that when you leave your contact information the so called bride or groom never get in touch I definitely wouldn’t recommend or spend any money with them

As a pro photographer, I need to get my work out there for the world to see and a way for couples to contact me. I have been using Hitched now for over 10 years and I can say hand on heart, that this is by far the best wedding website I have ever used. So whether you are a supplier or a couple looking for suppliers, then Hitched is the place to go. Outstanding website. 10 out of 10. JohnMasonPhotography

I advertised on Hitched and it didn't deliver an ROI. A few people have mentioned this but clients can send inquiries out to you without knowing who you are and when you contact them it becomes obvious they didn't even realise they had inquired with you.

Ultimately I didn't get an ROI after the first year so I didn't renew which is fair. The reason for the 1 STAR review is the subsequent offers from Hitched which shows they could have supported you 6 months into your original contract by activating other areas that put you in front of 'relevant' clients but they wait to see if they can sell these to you at a discounted rate under the guise of wanting to help.

I wouldn't have left this review had it not been for a second person trying to sell me into a recontract after I'd already told them no. What disappointed me was the sales person (Shauna O'Dwyer) suggested it was my fault the listing didn't work because it wasn't optimised correctly and that I didn't listen to their account managers feedback. It's not the listings that are the problem, it's the funneling of clients who are actually looking for your service that can't get to you properly.

Hitched can fix this but it's now clear to me they're more interested in signing up providers versus correctly lining up customers to clients. Weddings are stressful enough and Hitched doesn't make it any easier.

No doubt they'll reply to this review and offer a weak counter argument (if they do, then you know what they're like)

Edit: I provided my details to them and they never reached out in anyway - so what was the point in replying?

Extremly poor returns - never landed a single booking after many months on the platform.

It would appear most leads are not even at the stage of booking a venue let alone a photogrpaher.

However hitched are very open to saying "its on your to convert the bookings"

What good is it when the leads don't even have a venue or date yet! and apparntly "its not there fault" if the couples reach out to us dont have a wedding booked.

Stay away - they are shocking.

Update -> They responded below saying they will look in to my review - that is utter rubbish as ive spent 7 months emailing and asking for my contract to be terminated.

They have one rule for one and one for another - they have successfully cancelled other peoples contracts mid term when it wasn't working but refuse to cancel mine.

Why???

My plan was £1200 for the silver package and 4 counties and premium - have i even spoke to a single couple - No

Hitched is nothing but lead generation but with couples who are not in any state to actually book a wedding photographer - 90% don't even have a date.

It's been the worst money i've ever spent

I’m genuinely shocked by my experience using Hitched. I relied on their platform to find a trusted makeup artist for one of the most important days of my life—my wedding—and it ended in a complete disaster.

The artist I found through Hitched turned out to be a scammer she called elliegance hair and makeup . She used fake products that completely fell apart within 30 minutes, despite promising long-lasting professional makeup. After taking my money, she blocked and ignored all my attempts to contact her. When I finally reached her, she told me she didn't care and admitted she had used low-quality makeup.

Even worse, I later found out she had paid Hitched to advertise her services, fake “awards,” and promotions like “10% off”—none of which were real. Other brides came forward after my experience and warned me that this is sadly not uncommon on this platform.

I reached out to Hitched, expecting some help or accountability, and was told they couldn’t do anything. They continue to promote vendors even after serious complaints, and hide bad reviews, creating a false sense of security for users.

How is it even legal for a platform to get paid to mislead customers and host vendors who scam clients without any checks or responsibility?

If you're planning your big day, please be cautious using Hitched. They prioritize paid advertising over customer protection, and you may not realize until it's too late.

The Holiday Inn Norwich North was really great. The service was amazing and the staff were compassionate and kind and very professional and they even helped with my daughter,drinks and food. I will choose holiday inn Norwich North(Airport) again and again.

We used to do very well from Hitched but since the takeover, we are getting lots of obvious fake leads that never get responded to or replies back saying that they have never requested our services.

Once a couple request a lead they also send it out to lots of other companies too.

We won't be renewing. Our conversion rate is dismal compared to other advertising without the reach of Hitched.

Lots of leads of which 90% are fake probably using Bots. It's a new UKBride.

We had the misfortune of booking our wedding photographers through hitched and the service received was absolutely woeful. The photographers were complete cowboys, one of them didn't turn up to the wedding and her partner took the lead despite having the photography skills of a 5 year old. They completely missed a once in a lifetime moment. Hitched should do better to hold their suppliers to account - it's absolutely unacceptable.

If I could give no stars, I would. Very suspect leads and ‘couples’ who never respond to following up on their enquiries, even when called / texted / emailed almost immediately after. We have a normal conversion rate of over 20%, yet out of over 100 ‘enquiries’ with Hitched, not a single booking - and barely any response from any of them.
I, like other suppliers, suspect Hitched are using bots or other tactics to fill out the normal couples, but even those are very low intent. When it came time to renew my contract, of course I get two enquiries who DID respond, and complimented my service greatly (but still didn’t book). Interesting timing.
Maybe they used to be a good platform, but now to be honest, if I worked for Hitched, I’d be ashamed of myself to work for such a dishonest brand that takes SIGNIFICANT money from suppliers and provides 0 value, despite all their early promises. So disappointing and wrong.

This is the most awful company ever!

Pressurised sales to get me to sign up, unclear contract information. Despite replying to many enquiries I have received no bookings. Have had MUCH more sucess using other similar services. Hitched have already made a significant amount of money from me yet refuse to work with me on this matter.

If you are a musician stay away from these guys. Beautiful presentation to lure you in and make you think they are the busiest site around.

Fake inquiries sent to you at least once a month and when you follow them up lead nowhere.
I had to relocate to a different country and asked to cancel my subscription (which was near the end) but was told no. They asked for lots of information which was,quite frankly, none of their business. IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS MUSICIAN OR BAND DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH HITCHED.

I cant emphasise enough how much you should NOT join this company! They are truly awful and send out fake enquiries constantly! I regret ever joining them.

no real email to contact, no way of cancelling on app, website, Absolut break of trust, you see they reply right away on here , faking, I've emailed all the emails I can get including the parent company...

Used to be very good, now the categories are saturated with suppliers, and a lot of the the leads are dead ends, no reply, phone number doesnt work, generic gmail account that never gets a response. It was not like this in the past, but last 12 months have been almost worthless, despite going to a 'top' status.

Also one local supplier to me uses fake pics stolen from other suppliers and has false claims, I (and others) have raised this with Hitched multiple times, nothing was done, the fake supplier remains.

Need to up their game again.

Absolutely do not trust this company lies and fake information leads are not genuine as never get a reply after messaging the "bride" messages rarely read by "bride" and if you email hitched you just get ignored- you would be better off putting your money on a thre legged horse in the 3.15 at kempton

Joining them is a pleasure but if you want to leave, its a nightmare. I didn’t got any results and I dont recommend this company at all

Extremly disappointed with the number and quality of leads. You are locked into a contract and even though they admit leads have dried up there is no relief. Poor customer service and they take no responsibility for lack of leads. I have received a response from Hitched which is a standard - we will look into it - which they already have and not moved an inch
