Depending on how far you decide to travel. The average cost of a wedding can be compared to help put your potential expenditure into perspective.
For instance, the average wedding cost $38,700 in 2019, with the majority of those costs ($29,200) associated with the ceremony and reception. This information was provided by WeddingWire.com.
Wedding ceremony costs fell to an average of $19,000 in 2020 as a result of the crisis and shutdown, but they have already returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021.
The officiant, wedding cake and dessert, wedding and engagement rings, stationery, a bride’s dress, hiring a band, catering, and flowers are all included in the typical wedding budget.
For 2019, The Knot estimates that the typical wedding cost will be $33,900.
This sum includes the engagement and wedding rings as well as the most important wedding planning expenses, such as booking a reception venue, hiring a photographer, paying a wedding planner, purchasing the bride and groom’s attire, paying for the rehearsal dinner, and covering the fees of the officiant.
However, it does not include the honeymoon. You’ll need an additional $5,000, on average, for that.
