*This data has been updated. See the latest stats for 2020 here. 

Every year Easy Weddings conducts Australia’s largest wedding survey, and with the data accumulated we like to share some interesting facts and information about the wedding industry with our suppliers and brides.

The figures below have been based on the following data:

  • 2016 Bride survey, running in September 2016 with 2300+ brides.
  • Easy Weddings reviews
  • Bride polls we run on the site
  • Easy Weddings bride planning tools & registration data

So how much does the average Australian wedding cost?

The average Australian wedding cost is based on data from lots of different brides and grooms. From couples who spend $80,000 on their wedding to couples who spend $2000, this final figure is the average cost of a wedding in Australia.

The average original wedding budget

The final estimated wedding cost
