2009 Average Wedding Cost Drops Another 12%; Prices Dropping Like Flies

Nate Steiner

Are you in a state of shock and panic over wedding prices?

I’ve got good news for you…

Brides are spending LESS.

Um, right.  And how exactly is this good news?

Well, brides spending less means wedding vendors are making less money.  Which makes them start to PANIC…maybe as much as you did at first when you found out how darn expensive weddings can be.

(It’s about time they got a taste of their own medicine, right?)

When most wedding professionals get panicked…the first thing they do is drop their price. You better believe you can get top quality wedding services at bargain prices that haven’t been seen since the ’80’s.  Not only are vendors dropping their prices, they’re throwing in extras and offering wedding discount coupons out of desperation to get your business.

How do you know?

Good on you for asking, you smart, sassy bride.

The average wedding cost dropped another 12% in the first quarter of 2009 based on 780 surveys of brides and wedding vendors conducted by The Wedding Report.  This is attributed mainly to:

1. A decreased overall demand for products and services.
2. More couples marrying by a justice of the peace or other non-traditional means.
3. Couples holding the ceremony and reception at the same location to cut costs.

Add this to the other tools and tricks to slash your wedding expenses in half that you’ll learn in my book, The $10,000 Dream Wedding…and the wedding discounts and deals available right now are unbelievable.

This survey suggests that brides are spending less to cut costs and they are…but I also see brides spending less because wedding vendors are slashing their prices.  These businesses are SCARED.

Have you taken a glance at the housing market lately?  Housing prices have tanked.  You can buy a house at half or even a third what it was worth two years ago.  Houses in Detroit are selling for under $7,500!

The same thing is happening in the wedding industry.

If ever there was a time to step up and seize your wedding discounts…it’s NOW.
