Jamie Wolfer breaks down weddings into four tiers: budget, moderate, luxury, and ultra-luxury. Pick your tier first based on what you can actually spend, then find vendors in that same tier. Mixing tiers is where couples overspend and get stressed.
The wedding industry is a nightmare to navigate and is all designed to extract as much money from the new couple as possible. No, it's not. Okay, there's a difference. There is budget weddings, there's moderate weddings, there's luxury weddings, and there's ultra-luxury weddings. Okay. If you know which tier you fall into, you can budget accordingly and seek out vendors accordingly. If you have a budget wedding and you're seeking out luxury photographers and luxury venues, it's not going to work out well in your favor. But if you stay within the appropriate budget for what you have allocated, then you won't be looking at any of these higher-tier vendors or venues, and then you'll be just fine. Okay? Okay.
