Note di pianificazione
The total uses The Knot's reported 2025 U.S. average wedding cost from 10,474 U.S. couples married in 2025. It covers the ceremony and reception, excluding the engagement ring. Respondents were recruited from The Knot/WeddingWire members; this is a survey, not a census. Category amounts are calculated from The Knot's published rounded budget percentages, so category totals may not equal the average exactly.
