Sourced from The Knot by Esther Lee and updated Feb 11, 2021 Average Cost of a Wedding in 2020 Photo by Sweet Jojo Photography Every year, The Knot Real Weddings Study reveals the average wedding cost and more official data per state. About 7,600 couples across the country, who originally set a wedding date between January 1 and December 31, 2020, participated in the study. In 2020, COVID impacted just about everything across the wedding industry, including the average wedding cost and more prewedding related event costs.

Based on our respondents' answers involving spend on ceremony and reception, we were able to determine the 2020 national average cost of a wedding is $19,000, a drop from 2019's average wedding cost of $28,000. This number again accounts for the ceremony and the reception, and COVID, of course, has impacted both. The average wedding cost is typically influenced mostly by the guest count, the venue and the format of events, which have all been upended by the pandemic. Therefore, the average cost of a wedding in 2020 was heavily skewed.  Photo by Jeku Photography The approximate average for couples' 2021 receptions is roughly $22,500, right on par with past spend on wedding receptions. In 2019, the average cost of a wedding reception per couple was $23,000.
