I have spoken to thousands of South Asian couples after they got engaged and the obvious question on everyone's mind is "How much is this whole wedding thing going to cost?" So I put together this guide for our America based Indian bride and grooms (or parents) and figured you would benefit.
So how much does an Indian Wedding cost in the United States? The average cost of an Indian wedding in the USA is between $225,000 and $285,0000. This is for a wedding of 300 people in a major metro like Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey, Houston and so on.
Kalathiya and Nigam first exchanged glances on a med-school rotation, then bonded over guacamole and beer at Surfside.
The two complement each other: She’s training to be a gastroenterologist and did her residency at Georgetown; he’s in cardiology and did his residency at Johns Hopkins. She drinks vodka-sodas; he likes bourbon.
Nigam really wanted a glamorous wedding. Plus, she reasons, “I’m the first member of my family to get married in America.” All the more reason to go bold. Her mother, a neonatologist, and her father, a professor of atmospheric and oceanic science at the University of Maryland, allotted a budget of $400,000.
Planners in Washington say their average Indian client’s budget is roughly $200,000.
