2025 Maryland Wedding Market Statistics & Analysis

Maryland couples spent about $1.41 billion on weddings in 2025, across 30,965 weddings. These are the real local numbers, built from 20+ years of actual spending data, not the inflated national averages most of the industry quotes.

Across 30,965 weddings in 2025, couples spent an average of $45,693. The median was $19,866, so half of Maryland couples spent less than that. If you sell to Maryland couples (venue, planner, photographer, caterer, florist), those two numbers are the floor and ceiling for your local pricing.
