Wedding Season and the Costs
21 September 2023
It’s “wedding season”. Are YOU or a family member getting married this month? Or perhaps you’re planning for a 2024 wedding?
Organising a wedding is costly BUT so is ATTENDING a wedding!
According to The National Wedding Survey by Hitched.co.uk the average cost of a wedding in the UK was £18,400 in 2022! That’s up 6% from 2021!
63% of couples said they received money from family or friends towards the cost of their wedding.
Meanwhile NimbleFins reported that all-in costs for a UK wedding can reach £30,000 when honeymoon planning (and more) is added in.
To add to this Metro.co.uk confirmed the average cost to ATTEND a wedding is now almost £1000!
