Let's see. Phone calls, e-mails, certified letter, spoke to TV stations, wrote to talk shows, spoke with the Better Business Bureau, Orlando Sheriffs office, Consumer Affairs, Attorney General, American Bridal Consultants, Federal Trade Commission and even the FBI. Just hoping someone follows through! It's beginning to get out there especially because of this website! Michele will get her due, I've learned that!

Have you filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, the Florida Attorney General, or the Director of Ethics at the ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants)?

I have recently been contacted by the Channel 6 news and working with them in order to get Orlando Weddings and Michele Rapaport on the news for the horrendous disaster she has made of numerous dream weddings!!!! Please contact the Channel 6 news, www.local6.com, let them know if you too are a bride that has been scammed!!!! Furthermore, conversations with the Orlando sheriffs office has led me to contacting an attorney and setting up a lawsuit againt Mrs. Rapaport. Now knowing there are MANY brides out there who are suffering from her shameful business habits there is definately opportunity for a class action lawsuit. PS - Food for Thought - "Visionary Weddings" is under "Visionary Lighting & Imaging" - HER HUSBANDS LIGHTING BUSINESS. Please tell me this is not the weakest attempt in her validating her "name" within the business. Lets work together to get this resolved, get a refund and our dream wedding - LIKE EACH ONE OF US DESERVES!!!!!!!!!

I am one of the women who was taken advantage of by Orlando Weddings, you might try something. I have contacted all of the local news stations in Orlando, they have "let us fix your problem" segments. There are three, I think it was 2, 9 and 13, but I will have to double check. Maybe they can expose Michele Rapaport locally. I have also contacted alot of her vendors to let them know what she has done to us to discourage them from doing further business with her. Also, I have sent a letter every day to the Oprah show. If you go to the Oprah website, look under show suggestions. If there was any way possible to get her to pick up this story, wow, Michele would NEVER do ANY kind of business again. I wish there was some way of contacting the other 28 people who have been burned by Orlando Wedding. Just to let you know, you are not the only one trying to resolve this issue. I am going to speak to a lawyer in the next week and perhaps we can get one on board who will take the case on contingency? Keep your head up, we will all get through this. Lisa Tulsa, Oklahoma

The Better Business Bureau has reported that Orlando Weddings is out of business and, according to the owner, Michele Rapaport, it has been reopened as Visionary Weddings. There is no contact info for Visionary Weddings, simply a yahoo email address that goes unanswered! How do I get my money back???
