Not only are the engagement rings paid for, but the weddings are covered too, well, partially. While Season 2 contestant Amber Pike said the marriages “were 100% paid for by the show” in response to a fan on Instagram (via Women’s Health), it seems the “Love is Blind” couples are also given a budget. “Of course production supplies some of the basics, but because these are their real weddings, it’s up to them as to how to spend their money,” a representative from the production team told Women’s Health.
Another representative, this time from the show’s production company Kinetic Connect, told Insider that the couples are “very involved, for the most part” in planning their weddings. “They go cake testing, they play around with the menu and food options, they’re involved as can be.” However, it’s a little more strict regarding the actual venue due to the amount of room needed for lighting, filming, and production crews. That’s also why they’re only allowed a small number of guests. But overall, the couples are very much in control of the outcome. “We wanted them to really plan their weddings, and they did,” series creator Chris Coelen told Entertainment Tonight. “If they wanted to spend their own money, or try to enhance it within reason, we would certainly allow that,” he continued. “We would never put any constraints on them unless it was something we couldn’t accommodate within the show.”
