Event Assist prides itself in ensuring authentic and genuine reviews that can help engaged couples make better hiring decisions. As a platform committed to showcasing honest reviews, we request our vendors to abide by the following guidelines.
The Vendor can ask their clients to review their Profile on Event Assist and share their profile link with them & ask them to write a review, or, could simply ask them to share their review & rating with us on support@eventassistindia.com & we will get the review uploaded on their behalf.

In cases of a negative review, we strongly suggest you reply to the review with your side of the story as it shows that you care. From our statistics, we have seen that users read both sides of the story and take an impartial call while reading reviews. Moreover, some of the most popular and booked vendors on Event Assist have also received negative reviews on their profiles so you do not need to worry. Also, another way to mitigate the impact would be to get more positive reviews on your profile so that the negative review is pushed down & your average rating is improved.
