This seems to me more a problem of people wanting to much.

At my cousin's wedding the bride made her own cake. And they didn't want a huge wedding so it only had to feed like 20 people instead 100.

The problem here is the absurd extravagance that people want in a wedding.

Oh, not arguing that. Just pointing out that this is a large part of why price goes up when you mention the word "wedding". Even if a particular individual doesn't care to have absolutely top-tier perfect service, they're in the minority - and those vendors in the wedding industry price their services to fulfill the expectations of the norm, not the exception.
