I can tell you that $20,000-50,000 are somewhat rare here in Maine.
If I play in Kennebunkport or in York, I see the $20,000-$30,000 wedding receptions. In fact, we have the York Harbor Inn who reportedly gets $18,000 for their main ballroom (not sure how true that is)
I would venture to say that the average wedding in Maine is about $15-17,000, maybe a bit less.
BTW, I played at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine in July of 2001 one week before a major wedding was to take place.
There was a custom area being built for the reception. Carpentry alone was $100,000+ according to the coordinator at the Samoset. He said he wouldn't be surprised if the final price tag were over $500,000.
WOW!
