Navigating the Rising Costs of a Wedding Venue: Tips and Strategies

Navigating the Rising Costs of a Wedding Venue

It’s no secret that weddings are expensive. The wedding services industry is valued at over $70 billion, with wedding venues making up a large chunk of it. So how much do wedding venues cost? The cost can range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars, depending on the size and location of the event space, with the average price of a wedding venue in the U.S. being $6,000.

The guideline most people are advised to follow is that the venue should account for around 20-30% of your overall wedding budget. So if your total wedding budget is $20,000, you should aim to spend around $4,000-$6,000 on the venue. This should leave enough room in the budget for the many other wedding costs, including flowers and food.
