Why do wedding companies hire makeup artists at high prices for subcontracting at low prices?

The National Day holiday is approaching, and many couples choose to hold weddings during the holiday. In order to have an unforgettable wedding, couples have chosen wedding companies to take full responsibility. However, the wedding consumption trap "is too deep here". Couples pay 800 yuan to hire a makeup artist, and wedding companies spend 50 yuan to hire outsourcers.

“I felt like I was being tricked after the wedding”

Ms. Zhou, who just held a wedding last month, still feels a little regretful when talking about her wedding. Although she spent a lot of money, the results she achieved were far from what she expected. “I found a wedding company called Tuanhemei through the Internet. More than two months before the wedding, we started communicating about specific plans. The planners had a very good attitude, and the plan has been revised several times. We still trust this wedding company, but on the wedding day, I was dumbfounded."

Ms. Zhou said about the flower arrangement that appeared on the day. , Huating and the photos I saw during planning are completely different. "The original plan was to have a round flower door with ribbons floating on it. But the actual thing turned out to be a plastic door with some plastic bouquets mixed with a few flowers, and a few packaging ribbons taped on top with tape. It looked very cheap. My wife and I were very anxious and asked the person in charge of the wedding company to make changes immediately. However, the person in charge said that the contract only stated the price of the flower pavilion, not the style, and he could not change it. "

Ms. Zhou was very helpless. “When we signed the contract, the boss of the wedding company said that the style could not be written on the contract. Please rest assured that there will never be any mistakes. We also specified flowers at that time because my husband was not interested in it. The wedding quality requirements are relatively high, and I went to the wedding company several times to remind them that they must have flowers. As a result, the results we saw on the wedding day were fake flowers mixed with fresh flowers. If we use fake flowers, the cost of our wedding will be reduced. Nearly 7,000 yuan. Although we are very angry, we have no choice but to get married."

She said that after seeing the photos, she still felt unspeakable and felt that she was being plotted. . "Now that my friends are getting married, I will use my own experience to tell them what to pay attention to, such as whether to use fresh flowers or dried flowers at the wedding, and the layout must be agreed upon in advance with renderings."

Scenery All makeup hosting is outsourced

Mr. Lin, who is preparing to hold a wedding during the holidays, said that he has visited many wedding companies in the past month, but found that their plans are similar, and more and more similar weddings are being copied. , "The plans given by several wedding companies were all the same. They changed the soup without changing the medicine. Later, when I asked a knowledgeable friend, it turned out that the lighting and stage construction of several companies were all contracted to the same company. No wonder they all looked different. Like brothers and sisters, they look alike. In this way, the so-called personalized wedding is nonsense." Not only that, Ms. Wu, who came here, also encountered a "devil makeup artist" on her wedding day. Ms. Wu said that on her wedding day, the wedding company brought a "professional" makeup artist to do her makeup. She thought the makeup artist would make her more beautiful, but she was shocked when she opened her eyes. "I almost collapsed when I opened my eyes. The green and blue eyeshadow and the blood-red lips were really tacky. I might as well have done it myself." Ms. Wu said that she only made it after communicating with the makeup artist. I know that she paid 800 yuan for a makeup artist, but the makeup artist was an outsourced person hired by the wedding company for 50 yuan. "I was so angry that I didn't even know what to say, so I had to wash my face and put on makeup again." Not only that, although the host who spent 1,500 yuan on the wedding claimed to be a "gold medal host", he didn't want to do anything except setting up in advance. A good string of words, but nothing else outstanding. Ms. Wu asked the host privately and found out that she was a college student who took advantage of her summer vacation to work part-time to make money. She was not at all like the experienced professional host claimed by the wedding company. The college student's fee for one session was only 100 yuan, which was difficult for Ms. Wu to accept.

After the wedding, Ms. Wu went to the wedding company to ask for an explanation, but so far to no avail. “I’m really too lazy to argue with them anymore, so what if I refund the money.

People from wedding companies told me clearly that most wedding companies do not have fixed emcees, videographers, photographers, and make-up staff. All the people in the circle are part-timers. One of the incomes of wedding companies is to earn the price difference of these personnel. ”

Low-price wedding car photography with scenery is a trap

“After getting married once, I found that I have too much to learn. "Xiaoqiang lamented to reporters that he was miserably cheated by the wedding company. "At that time, the contract only stated the words 'background layout' and the price of 5,000 yuan, but did not clearly state what was included in the background. I took it for granted at the time that the 5,000 yuan was the price of the arrangement we had agreed upon, including flowers, balloons and other items. However, after the contract was signed, the boss told us that the background for this price was just a piece of red cloth and floating yarn on it. If we wanted to add lights, balloons, flowers and other decorations, we would have to pay extra, and it was not cheap. "He was very angry, but he had no choice. The contract had already been signed, so he could only suffer a loss and add more money. "If the content is not clearly written in the early stage, the scene layout will really become a money-burning pit. In order to achieve the effect, I spent an additional 3,900 yuan. "

What troubled Xiaoqiang was not only the background layout, but also the photography on the wedding day. "The photographer recommended for the wedding was very talkative, and we felt very good after seeing the finished products he had taken before. , and the price of the dual-camera was quite cost-effective, so we decided on it on the spot. Unexpectedly, when we picked up the CD, the wedding told us that post-production and engraving the CD would cost us 800 yuan before they could give it to us. Although we spent so much money on our wedding, 800 yuan is not particularly much, but it makes us feel a little bit being plotted, and we always feel uncomfortable. "

In addition to photographers, wedding car fleets are also the choice of most people when they get married. When Mr. Wang got married, he found a car rental friend through his circle of friends and rented a car through him. "Friends and What we are talking about is that the first car is a stretched Lincoln, followed by a convoy of six cars, which cost 5,500 yuan each to add decorations. When we were looking for a wedding company, they heard that we had booked a car and asked about the price. I told them the price without thinking twice. Who knows, the wedding company said that our booking was too expensive, and they could help us find a wedding car for 2,500 yuan. "Mr. Wang said that when he heard the price, it was so tempting that he was shaken. "Originally, we both wanted to switch to a wedding car, but considering it was an agreement between friends, we didn't have the nerve to back out. Later, after I inquired carefully, I found out that the 2,500 yuan quoted by the wedding company was only the price of the first car. If you want to add the rear car, you need to pay separately, and you also need to pay for the flower decorations alone. In total, it is more than 7,000 yuan. ”
