This show was a good one to binge watch.
Although, I found myself getting annoyed at the couples because they all seemed to choose "Marriage" over "Mortgage".
I could see if the show was footing a large chunk of the wedding cost, but that wasn't the case.
I was left to wonder why most of these couples would choose marriage over mortgage when they're living in one bedroom apartments and signed up for the show to find a dream house.
To me, it seemed dumb and a waste of money to choose one day over a place live.

xkfdt16 March 2021I think real estate agent was doing her best. She showed good homes and every details she prepared was sincere and nice. But the wedding planner? Weck. I hate her bringing cheap things something looks almost as trash and the price was too high compared its quality. As a person had marriage and mortgage, I definitely choose what real estate agent bring. The two were not competitors. The professional level was so different.

k-verbonac27 March 2021Don't understand why people would spend 30-50 grand on a wedding over a down payment on a house! One day over a lifetime... If I had to pick I for sure would pick a house!

ariana-fhauser13 March 2021Just like every other show that's like this, these "docu-series" are scripted, so nothing new there. This is fun and yes we all universally have to decide to either have the wedding of our dreams or buy a house, this show takes us on that journey and how it plays out for others.

sueylul214 March 2021It is quite jarring to watch the two salespeople turn past trauma against their clients and make them cry to get their way. The whole premise of you have to choose between future investment or a day of fun is sickening to start with. But I just couldn't wrap my head around when they used dead parents or infertility issues for a quick moment.

redmondgarmony7 April 2023Cannot believe that anyone chooses the wedding over the mortgage... Are these people lobotomised?
Having said that, the show is completely addictive. Did not intend to watch more than five minutes of an episode, but ended up watching half a dozen. So utterly dismayed and disappointed by the ridiculous choice of wedding, over mortgage, each time, especially the couple with the two little kids, have been living all four of them in a cramped two bedroom apartment for eight years. Seriously? Why knows what they chose the wedding over The house with amazing backyard???
The world mystifies me still! -
siddhihappyness12 February 2022You get to see couples house hunting and planning a wedding at the end of the show couple decides what they choose...its bit of a guessing game for audience as well to predict what they may choose..hoping there is a season 2 bigger n better.

taywarren2912 March 2021Extremely scripted, everyone is fake. The first epsiode they choose marriage and it gets cancelled because of the pandemic and they end up living in an apartment.
This show basically encourages wasting your money on a wedding which is the worst financial decision everyone makes in their lives. Not sure why anyone would choose one day of stress over a roof over their heads but whatever. -
Like others have mentioned, I do think Sarah's finds for each of the weddings is a bit too over priced, like episode 9's infamous "Donut Wall" A 100 donuts on a large stand, for $1600!?! That's insane. Later in the episode Sarah tells the couple they'll get the donut wall for free (not the actual donuts) and that'll save them $900. Uh, what??? That means the store is charging $700 for 100 donuts, about $7 a donut per person, a $700 cake could feed so many more. Most of the couples that chose wedding passed up insanely great deals Nicole got them. Nicole smacked it out of the park with every final house offer and it's a shame seeing so many pick wedding. Like the couple with 2 children, the start of the episode the couple explains they need more space because their boys are at each others throats, then later after being offered their dream house, with space for a nursery they wanted, the couple claims that a wedding is "what the boys wanted." Like h u h?? These are just some nit picks I have, but all in all, this is an awesome show and really funny. The hosts are lovely, definitely needs a season 2

therapynic-166-86632012 March 2021This show is not original, it's not anything new. It's not particularly funny or fun. But it's moderately enjoyable and the people are all a great time to make fun of. The hosts are boring and use the same cliched jokes as any other realtor tv show. The guests are just the same, but maybe slightly more real? Barely? However, will I be watching every episode and laughing at each dull, cringe-worthy moment? Yes of course.

karaokebowl12 March 2021I think this show is really fun. It's lighthearted and fun to see the options the couples have. For me personally I don't know why you would spend so much money on a wedding versus having a nice house but that's just me. The only thing that bothers me is that some of these weddings apparently occurred during the pandemic and these large gatherings are not cool. I'm hoping these people were safe and didn't have super spreader events.

kyosamueller13 March 2021Only watch this if you're done with everything else on Netflix
Episode one We have 30K from our families... we can blow it on a wedding or invest in our future with a house. What do they decide... only time will tell -
ndinda1719 June 2021Why would u choose a party for one day over roof on top of ur house for about 10 years why????? 25K in one day for people to party?? Really??? I feel like shaking these people. Wedding dress is worn once once,. How many.marriages end up in divorce?????
-
It is so cringe to watch! The show promotes poor financial culture. How can you encourage just graduates to buy a 450k house? Or a family of four living in a 1bedroom app to throw a lavish 30k wedding?
Especially during the pandemic it is so incencitive to launch sth like this. Feel bad for all those couples who chose wedding and it was either cancelled or an intimate ceremony.
Whoever approved such a show on Netflix is crazy -
mary-179-67738311 August 2021I would pick the house over wedding any day. But I love watching the show and guessing if the couple will pick wedding or house. Some of them I was just shocked they went with the wedding instead of the house. In particular the couple with the two boys living in a 2 bedroom apartment said they wanted to do what was in the best interest for the boys and then picked a wedding over the house. Then others that I thought would pick wedding ended up picking house. Anyways, people can make their own choices but it's interesting to watch them make there decisions. I don't think it's fair to rate the show poorly bc you don't agree with the decisions the people made. I mean if they all picked house then it would be boring. I like how after they pick, the show returns months later and you see a glimpse of the wedding or the house they moved into.

kaylabowers-7187212 March 2021I've never even reviewed a show before, but I had to find somehow to share how bad this is. I watched the first episode and literally have nothing to say except this is the cringiest show I've ever seen. 0/10 recommend.

It's tv reality without the melodrama. It had heartfelt stories and couple with diverse backgrounds. They're not showcasing extravagant houses or wedding ideas, it's middle class budget and personally relatable. The real estate agent and wedding planner are sweethearts. My girlfriend and I had a blast binging this show. It's light and fun, I'm hoping for a second season.

sirthisisawendys11 April 2021Marriage or Mortgage is a show about two white women with terrible taste. Sara and Nichole team up to emotionally manipulate young couples that are moving to/around Nashville, TN. Sarah, the wedding planner, is competent and creates genuinely cool weddings, at least most of the time. Nichole is a realtor with unknown competency levels. Most of the houses she shows seem like she picked the first 3 ads on google when you search 'houses for sale.' All of them are model homes with little to no character. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the developer of these properties just to sell them on the show. Some of these couples are looking for their forever home, and Nichole thought it was a good idea to put them with an HOA???? At one point she basically told a couple that they were too needy and she gave up. But the real kicker of the show is the couples that actually choose to have a wedding over buying a home. While in this case it's fair because of how terrible the homes are compared to the wedding, it's just a terrible financial decision. Why not just get married and have a wedding later. But at the end of the day I enjoyed the show, it's terrible, but it's got potential.

patriciafisher-4634226 March 2021I was in disbelief with couples picking a wedding over a home. Every episode kept getting worse, but I was in total disbelief with the 23and 24 year old couple! Who gets married at that age in 2021! So they will spend their parents 30 grand and continue to live in their parents home. Unreal!!
-
medialover202012 March 2021The premise of the show deciding between a mortgage or a marriage is a dilemma that many people face today. Homes are very expensive and social media has twisted what a wedding consists of nowadays with everyone trying to top each other. While I enjoyed learning about the couples and seeing what money could get you in Tn, the show just didn't make sense. Why are the hosts competing with each other? What is the purpose? What do they get out of it? They don't seem like they're doing it out of their own good will based on the tactics they use to "win"

MalikaMonroe11 March 2021No idea why rating is so low. Binged this show it was really cute and both the realtor and wedding planner are great.
-
caldwelvmarie13 March 2021This show is pretty ridiculous, and it seems tone-deaf especially given the present circumstances of the world right now.
-
tsakmakiniki713 March 2021It's realistic and so much enjoyable to watch! Every single couple so far has a special story to tell. It has both funny and emotional moments. I strongly recommend it for some lazy couched potatoes afternoons!
-
vcath18 March 2021A car crash of disastrous bad choices!
The Wedding Planner should be ashamed of herself. Manipulatively pushing people to spend their hard earned savings on an over the top wedding instead of a down payment on a house they all need.
I was heartbroken, to see a couple with two young boys living in very cramped conditions in a flat, persuaded to spend their money on a lavish wedding.
Shameful. -
sararose-5648511 March 2021Just no. Why was this show even made? This couldn't have come at the worst time. Having to have made this decision myself this past year and having a pandemic postpone it for over a year and a half when I could've just had a house by now. I still can't move on with my life the way I want to. So forget this show.
