It's a really annoying trend, but it's true. For the same exact service or product, simply putting the word “bridal” or “wedding” in somewhere in the description will double the price.
Example: a car hire service normally leases its cars for £35 per hire. If it's for a wedding, they now charge £60, for a minimum of 2 hours. If you're doing multiple stops, it now goes up even more. And even more if you're getting married on a weekend (as most people are, except us weirdos).
Have these people no shame in the amount of price gouging they can inflict?
Put the word photography somewhere and the same phenomenon happens… you're on to something: it's because of weddings!! That's all your fault!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ;D
