After my posting yesterday I have received a lot of comments and questions about the average cost of today’s weddings. What my readers need to understand is the cost of the wedding is really depended upon what area you are getting married in. According to the website “The Cost of Weddings” the following are what is considered the average budgets for today’s bride in Michigan.
v Grand Rapids Michigan ~ $12,698 and $21,163
v Holland Michigan ~ $13,463 and $22,438
v Kalamazoo Michigan ~ $13,922 and $23,203
v Detroit Michigan ~ $11,474 and $19,123
v Lansing Michigan ~ $12,086 and $20,143
v Iron Mountain Michigan ~ $13,922 and $23,203
v Saginaw Michigan ~ $10,097 and $16,828
v Cass City Michigan ~ $10,556 and $17,593
v Manistee Michigan ~ $11,627 and $19,378
These budgets seem very reasonable for most couples but when you start looking at other regions on our country the price of a wedding is much different.
v Santa Monica California ~ $41,306 and $68,843
v Boston Massachusetts ~ $20,959 and $34,932
v New York New York ~ $19,888 and $33,147

v San Francisco California ~ $33,963 and $56,604

v Atlanta Georgia ~ 24,631 and $41,051
