The average wedding cost, per the Knot and WeddingChannel in a 2012 survey of 18,000 brides was about $28,000.

Of course, an average number can be misleading in that actual costs for a couple can be well below that figure (think a quick elopement) or well above that figure (royal weddings can cost in the 10s of millions of dollars - fun fact Charles and Diana's 1981 wedding cost $48M then and a whopping $110M when inflation adjusted to today). Also there are tremendous differences across geography, formats, guest count, and the like.

At Bite, we look to help you get the most for your wedding budget, whether you're looking for a simple post-wedding cocktail reception or you're planning a royal affair. We believe a wedding should represent the couple and families coming together and will work hard to help you put together something that will make your day special.
