Wedding Bonanza: How Much Will the Party Cost?
December 27, 2022
In 2021, the national average cost of a wedding was about $28,000, a figure that includes the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and a reception with 105 guests — but not the engagement ring (which averaged $6,000) or the honeymoon. Of course, the average price tag varied greatly by location, from $16,000 in Oklahoma to $47,000 in New Jersey. With inflation soaring, many couples are facing significantly higher costs, and greater competition for in-demand vendors, in 2022.
- Venue/furniture rentals: $10,700
- Catering/food and beverage: $9,900 ($75 per person)
- Photography/video: $4,400
- Live band/DJ: $4300/$1,400
- Flowers: $2,300
- Wedding dress: $1,800
