The average wedding budget is the based on the size of the guest list and the location of where you are going to be married and hold your reception.
Using a terrific little tool (found at the bottom of this page), I have found the average wedding budget and breakdowns for a few different areas. Pick the area closest to the kind of area you live in and see what the average cost of what a wedding in that area will cost.

I hope these figures can give you some idea of how much your own wedding is going to cost, but I have something even better for you to try.It is based on United States zip codes, so if you are located in the U.S. you can input your zip code and get averages based on where you live. Remember, the costs in a smaller town area are going to be less than a major city, so you can use the reports to compare and maybe plan in a nearby less costly area.
If you would like to be in more control of what will be included in your wedding budget, then use this next tool. You can check off only those items you will be including in your wedding planning budget.
