Each year we survey nearly 20,000 brides that have gotten married in the last year to find out the national average cost of a wedding, style preferences, and other key details. We ranked the top 25 most expensive places to marry (by wedding spend). And (not terribly surprising) Manhattan ranks as the most expensive spot to marry. See the list!
