$20,000.00 national average? I don't buy it!

We keep getting this figure as the national average for the cost of a wedding . . . but I don't believe it!

I think it is more like half of that . . . or even less!

I've seen all of the charts, graphs and lists given to us by these so-called professional wedding planners . . . who are really just journalists or contributing writers!

Is it propaganda from the wedding websites and bridal magazines to help their advertisers make more money?

Or too make brides who really can't afford that kind of money into somehow believing that if they don't spend that much then their wedding will be 'inferior'?

To be honest, I don't really know if I've ever been involved in a $20,000.00 wedding . . .

I'll bet that if we were to somehow figure out how much was spent on each and every gig we have done individually, our own numbers would give us a totally different 'national average' . . .

And I'll bet it is much, much lower than $20,000.00!

If that is the case ($20,000.00), then why is the national average price of DJ services down around the $500.00 figure?

Ideas anyone?
