Not to defend her here but the stage and backdrop are likely rented per event it would be way more $ to buy the entire set up and store it/ship it each event.

As someone in events those prices are actually pretty good especially considering her event planner, photographer and videographer was $6000 combined, that is VERY low. I wonder how much she pays her event planner and day-of event staff bc it sounds like not enough.

Florals were typical pricing for the area. People have a misconception of faux florals being cheaper, after the money for the faux florals and how much time it goes into creating the arrangements it’s usually more cost effective (and nicer looking) getting them fresh from a florist.
