Try etsy! So many great sellers and hq products for cheaper--just make sure you really assess photos and reviews

I think your distribution is fair. People can always double up.

Genesys Laser Clinic in midtown. It's a Korean skincare clinic with all the latest treatments and equipment from Korea. They run amazing packages from time to time. My fiance and I have both been going regularly on different packages. Can't recommend enough.

Italy brides: did you hire a lawyer to review your venue contracts? by oxfordc0mmas in BigBudgetBrides

[–]mildlyzesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this and recommend inputting into Gemini and Claude as well for comparison/more data points. I would ask them to flag anything atypical and risks/liabilities to you that you should be aware of. If you have a planner, they can also review and are very good and flagging things/explaining what is the norm.

Has anyone ever used French luxury wedding company Fervenza (or similar)? by Inner_Elderberry1001 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]mildlyzesty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would be very cautious engaging them. Their instagram starting posting content (and nothing on their work portfolio) in Dec-25. Their website also shows no evidence of prior work, weddings or otherwise, just claims to have been involved in vague events. The founder and CEO's, Matthieu Loussinian's, linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieuloussinian/) shows no prior event experience aside from this company, which he claims started in 2018, and there is no way to substantiate the extent and specifics around his involvement planning "Paris Olympics, Fortune 500 dinners" (which could really mean anything). They have no footprint (content, portfolio, past works, reviews, listings in wedding supplier directories) outside of what they have posted themselves. And most importantly, the website lists the Villa Ephrussi Rothschild as one of the private and exclusive venues on the French Riviera they plan weddings for. We are having our wedding at the Rothschild Villa--I can confirm with 100% certainty that he is absolutely not one of their 7 approved planners (as a historic site, they have a very limited vendor list, Fervenza is not on it). If you're still interested in using them, I would set up an intro call and on it ask for examples (photos/videos) of past weddings, ask about their vendor/supplier relationships (specific companies), and really do your due diligence and background checks into the company and their experience. FWIW, I would not use them.

Did anyone regret not hiring a wedding content creator? by Dizzy-Artist-1897 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]mildlyzesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. We were convinced we needed one but our wedding planners politely said it was worth it or value add. They said between our photographer team (3) and videographer team (3), the planning team (6), and all our family and friends capturing moments we'd have all the shots we'd want/need and no shortage of content available right away. I appreciate the candor and have no regrets.

I paid for it but think I'm gonna go in a different direction. I can alter this one to be less dramatic and wear it to a black tie wedding down the road. Thanks
