Right!? One venue we looked at charged $200-$300 /day for corporate events and $2000 /day for wedding receptions, and these were both Saturday rates. What's really the difference that costs $1500?
This is why we went destination. I've seen enough documentaries about the ripoffs of the wedding business.
I showed my wife a few documentaries about the true value of a diamond, that was crossing the line i guess. Still had to by her a nice fancy one although it has little to no actual value.
edit: I know it means a lot to her so I was thrilled to do it.
