Average U.S. Wedding Costs2006-04-04With wedding costs increasing dramatically, 100 wedding planners got together in Texas this week to discuss ways of improving their already booming wedding businesses. Speeches on topics such as "How to Enter the Destination-Wedding Market" and computer software for staying organized are only a few of the topics covered at a conference in San Antonio put on by the California-based Association for Wedding Professionals, The San Antonio Express reported Monday. Coordinator Karen Casey of Atlanta helped plan a wedding reception last year where guests enjoyed an entire weekend of entertainment featuring an opera singer, a rock band, a string quartet and even a troupe of acrobats performing handstands on a stack of chairs, at a cost "well into the six figures." A recent survey by the publisher of Modern Bride magazine found the average American couple spent nearly $28,000 for their wedding. In the late 1950's a wedding reception with 150 guests cost $6,400 in today's dollars, a 1957 article in the Los Angeles Times said.
