About The Wedding Report

The Wedding Report, Inc. is an independent research company tracking the U.S. wedding market since 2005. Over 2 million survey responses, zip-code level data at every price tier, and no advertising revenue shaping what we publish. That's why couples, vendors, lenders, and government agencies rely on our numbers when the answer needs to be accurate.
