There is no such thing as an "average" for weddings. You can spend as little as you want, or as much as you want.

My son and his wife got married on the beach at Daytona for under $1000 including a small reception for about 20 people at a restaurant on the beach and photographer. It was a very nice ceremony and they were just as married as if they had spent ten times as much. (They met in Daytona so it was a meaningful location for them)

I eloped and spent maybe 3500. Almost made it 2 years.

the real question is why is divorce so expensive....

because it's worth it.



OP, congrats to you both and I wish you the best. Great pic btw.

Our wedding was well north of double that, and it wasn't even a huge extravagant event.

Got married three years ago. Husband's dad does this kind of thing for a living, so tent, food and cases of champagne were on him. My dad is a pastor, so he did the ceremony. My mom is a seamstress, she made my dress. Coworkers were building a photography portfolio, so they did our shoot for $300.

Venue (local heritage site) - $350
Fancy custom rings with family stones + daily driver rings (tungsten carbine on ebay for $20!)- $2200
Cake - $300
Wedding party gifts (one maid of honour, one best man) - $200
Croquet set (it was a summer afternoon garden party type thing, so no dancing or DJ, just drinking and croquet) - $40
Invitations/thank you cards - $90
Flowers - $175

All that plus misc stuff that always pops up - about $4000. We paid cash for everything.

My point is that when you plan well, utilize the resources around you and focus on what is most important to you, instead of getting caught up in all the details, you can have a beautiful and memorable day without spending a lot of money. Good luck!

That's about what mine worked out to be. Smaller wedding though (150 people - 6 years ago).
