Well, I am in the wedding biz. Prices of a Wedding varies. Jewish Orthodox Weddings invite over 500 people and will most likely marry during the week, Reform Jewish weddings invite less than 200 people, A Christian wedding I would say is the least amount of people under 125. However, Indian Weddings (people from India) invite well over 600 and some invite well over 800 people, will book the most expensive night - Saturday night. The Bride buys 2 wedding dresses, A white over the top wedding dress and a beautiful India wedding dress to change into for the reception.
State to State should be taken into consideration A Sat night wedding for 200 people in NY could cost anywhere from $125 to $175 or more per person, where a Friday night wedding could cost $65 to $125 per person VS the mid west, the South, north west where the cost of living is much less and you get more for your money than you would north east. I think CALF, south FL and NY cost more all around.
