More of the same from the Babylon Series,
By
This review is from: Wedding Babylon (Hardcover)
I do like the Babylon books, however Hotel Babylon, Air Babylon and Fashion Babylon are the only convincing ones so far. Beach Babylon, Pop Babylon and this one, Wedding Babylon are not exposes in any way. We all know what happens at a wedding. The book follows the usual format. A man goes through a day or in this case, a week of being a wedding planner. All the anecdotes she has gathered happen to this one man in this week making it sound much more interesting than it probably is. We have the stalker bride who used the planner and now gets him to organise every social event she holds. There are lots of references to staff stealing drinks, wedding planners sleeping with the bridesmaid to avoid going to a horrible B&B and lots of little stories about people spending lots of money shoehorned together in one book. I didn't feel any love in this book, I felt it was done like this: Send someone to ask loads of wedding planners what's the most lavish/horrible/exciting things that's ever happened in your career. Type them all up as if they happened to one person or if it won't fit in with your timeline, say that it happened to a friend he knew. This book is useless to anyone who got married in the "normal" way as it only really deals with the super-rich clients so I couldn't identify with it as being in any way like my wedding.
If you haven't read Air, Hotel or Fashion Babylon and were considering this one instead, I'd say try one of those first.

Fantastic! Entertaining! Funny!,
By Sharmalita "Sharmalita" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wedding Babylon (Hardcover)
Loved the behind the scenes look into the wedding industry from the view of a wedding planner...like the bride who keeps coming back for all her parties! It shows the bride from the outside world and how easy it is to become a bridezilla! Its an easy read and highly recommended...perfect as a gift for a bride to be as well as enjoyable reading. Prepare to laugh!

The world of weddings revealed!,
By C. Rucroft "The little bookworm" (North Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Wedding Babylon (Hardcover)
When I first started, I wasn't sure. It's told from a man's perspective (which I wasn't expecting) and almost like a diary in style. Anyway, I carried on and I'm glad I did! The book is funny and I was shocked at some of the things you find out (Did you know a wedding cake costs £200 to make, but people charge £6000?).
It's not a literary masterpiece, but if you're looking for a light read, which is a bit of fun, this is your book.
