THE AVERAGE WEDDING IN AMERICA COSTS WHAT?!


If you’re experiencing Wedding budget issues, it might be time to consider a destination wedding to the USA. Research from Thumbtack revealed that the average cost in 2016 for Wedding services and essentials comes to just $12,189 US (which equates to just over $17,000 AU)!

Thumbtack manages the largest survey of US couples to be married in 2016, so the stats are accurate. Missouri was the least expensive state to get hitched in, with the average Wedding costing $9,031 (US), while Connecticut was the most expensive, averaging $17,211.
