NOTE: The average cost of a wedding is based on the answers to your questions and spending of other couples getting married, not vendor prices.

This typically includes purchases of services from professionals, someone that simply provides the service, or a hired family member or friend. Every wedding is different, and the amount couples spend can vary widely.
