One question that we get from new brides all of the time is “What is the total that this is going to cost me?” While, there is no one size fits all answer, and a wedding for 50 will have a different budget than one for 1000, some general averages were released today by Wedding Market News for the US at large, and for different states in the US to account for the differing costs of living. A summary for the DC metro and NYC metro areas are below:
