Average Wedding Costs by State

Cities like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago are among the most expensive locations to host a wedding, while states with smaller populations, such as Idaho, West Virginia, and Wyoming, offer more affordable alternatives.

What Drives Wedding Costs?

On average, couples hire 14 vendors to execute their big day. The wedding reception venue, live band, and photographer are typically the priciest of these.
Furthermore, the demand for wedding planners has seen a notable increase, with 37% of couples in 2023 opting for professional planning services, up from 30% in 2019. These experts help orchestrate everything from catering to decor, ensuring that each detail aligns with the couple’s vision. Source Visualcapitalist

This is unbelievable, right? Especially knowing the scam about diamonds.

Ironical when the majority of the population has been led to believe that carbon was bad! When actually people don't seem to mind paying for a very pricey version on a ring

Well, you see, in my opinion, getting married doesn't have to be in the most expensive place, but it is hoped that lots of guests will be present to witness the wedding, it doesn't have to be luxurious, that's what I think.

If the purpose of getting married is just to show off, there are only a few guests present, of course it will be detrimental to the host, but if you have a lot of money I can't say anything else.
