The answer

$33,000

Roughly $33K.

The Knot’s annual survey puts the average U.S. wedding at roughly $33,000, excluding the engagement ring and the honeymoon. The venue alone typically eats a third of that. Averages hide enormous spread: the median is lower, and the gap between Manhattan and rural Kansas is close to threefold.
