I know how important a celebrant is, but how much is too much?

One celebrant I like charges $1200, but I know a lot of celebrants charge half of that. Why is there such a difference? Is it comparable to music in that it's a "taste" thing? Or a talent thing? It's not like I can "taste test" like a cake or listen to a song.. it's hard to justify because by the time you get the service, you've LONG paid and if you're disappointed it's too late! Advice please!

What colours match a chardonnay wedding dress?

Hi I brought a gorgeous chardonnay coloured wedding dress which I love (and surprised me since it's not white). The problem I have now is I originally wanted a dusty blue/ grey for bridesmaids (colour scheme) and sunflower bouquets which I've now been told ( and we noted when at dress shop) won't really match or look very good together. I've been told I should go pink or maroon and I really don't like pinks (or maroon). Is there any other colours you could recommend? Now worried I should change the dress. The style is vintage/ rustic. Any advise greatly appreciated and taken under consideration.

How long should it typically take for a videographer to return the final product?

My sister got married two years ago, and it took almost 6 months for her videographer to return the video of her wedding. I want a videographer at my wedding, but I'm scared it'll take the same amount of time to come back. Is 6 months normal to wait for your wedding video?

Do white tiffany chairs work with a venue with dark blue/navy carpet with yellow/gold swirls?

Our theme is quite neutral with grey, white and greenery as our main colours. I would love to have white tiffany chairs for our reception but the carpet at the venue is navy blue with gold swirls. People have suggested that the white tiffany chairs will make the 'gaudy' carpet 'stand out' - any thoughts? Thanks :)
