    Never, ever, book a location for a “Wedding”. Always book it for a “Family Event”.

    Getting married in about 6 weeks. Compared to my first one 10 years ago, it’s nuts. One metric I read said that wedding costs were up 40% post COVID. My first wedding was maybe $5,000 and that was super strict budget. This one is closer to $25k.

    My fiancée was quoted between $300-650 for makeup only. Seriously?? DJ is minimum $900 for 5 hours of work, I got a lot of quotes in the $1300 range, or $2200 for better lighting ($440/hour??) Look I know you had to buy your own equipment but holy hell.

        Having a wedding at the local all-you-can-eat sounds very enticing.

        There are a lot of people who just have weddings with only the closest parts of their friend/family circle rather than making it auper extravagant.

    People tend to demand perfection when it comes to weddings. I’m pretty sure that’s why it’s more expensive. In general, prices rise alongside expectations.

      With how much self-centered egotistical annoyances wedding planners and other suppliers have to deal with sometimes, I might actually be inclined to understand that pricing

    I believe there is a Ferangi rule of acquisition for this

    I think, it goes something like, Peace us good for business, and war is also good for business.

    I thought it was Airport Pricing, but I guess Wedding checks out too

      I think the joke is about caterers doing this. Book a photographer session vs a wedding photographer and the prices are going to be drastically different.
