The wedding industry is no different than any other, you're going to see just as many claims as you see for diet programs on TV. They're all selling something! LOL.
There are also, a national and Hawaii wedding websites which give you advice on "choosing vendors, planning, "Best & Worst" and scary "Watch Out For" lists. Some have value, others not so much.
We suggest that when you read these articles, simply don't believe everything you read.

“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay a little.
When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that’s all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything,
because the thing you bought was incapable
of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits
paying a little and getting a lot... it can’t be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something
for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough
to pay for something better”.

“There is hardly a product of our culture that someone cannot make a little worse and sell for a little less, and the one who puts price above all other considerations is the natural prey of this man”.

the sweetness of low cost is forgotten”.
