Wedding Wednesdays: Top 10 Places to Get Married in the United States

As a followup to our Wedding Wednesday post last week, we're sharing The Knot's top 10 places to get married in the U.S. based on wedding costs! Is your location one of them?

Heavily populated metropolitan cities across the U.S., like New York City and Chicago, are often expensive to wed in based on the zip code and the venue (Manhattan's average spend is $96,910!). But if you're not looking to break the bank, there are certainly other areas with lower prince points.

Based on the average cost of a wedding in 2018 ($33,931), according to The Knot 2018 Real Weddings Study, couples spent the least on their weddings in the following areas in the U.S.

1. Idaho: $16,366
2. West Virginia: $17,997
3. Wyoming: $19,395
4. South Dakota: $19,515
5. Alaska: $19,887
6. Arkansas: $20,223
7. Utah: $20,391
8. West Texas: $20,541
9. Lansing, Michigan: $20,861
10. Oklahoma: $20,935

If you're a Massachusetts native like us, then we hate to break it to you but...the average cost of a wedding in 2018 was $44,557. It might be time to consider taking your nuptials out of state (or start saving today)! Compare wedding costs and devour the details of the best budget and location for your big day!
