A wedding is about the dumbest thing to blow money on.

Things to keep in mind, at least in my experience, is that NOLA weddings tend to have more guests and include lots and lots of booze. I'd be interested to see the data and see if NOLA is top 10 in average cost per guest.

I went to a wedding for a couple that I've known all my life. They live in BR and visit NOLA maybe once every 2 years. They had a wedding in New Orleans complete with a 2nd line as if it were part of their culture.

People in new Orleans like to party and take social gatherings to an extreme? You don't say?

Nola being a destination city there are a lot of people from all over that want to get married here. It's not like all these $50k+ weddings are locals only. To rent out Race and Religious one will pay upwards $20k and that's just for the venue not including booze and liquor.

NOLA has been ranked #1 wedding destination city for last few years. They know how to do it right for out of town folks.

I bet the first nine on that list have much higher median incomes.
Makes us pretty stupid.

That's a lot of money to get shot at.

The only time I remember being inNew Orleans was for a wedding (that I didn't go to, long story). They were Tulane students from money and they threw a huge, 400+ person wedding where they had parades and stuff. Must have cost close to 80 k.

You apparently sure as shite don't want to get married near NYC. I was thinking New Orleans would for sure be the most expensive place in the South to get married, but never thought that it would be the only Southern city on the list. I thought Miami would at least make the list.

Paid for my daughter's wedding at Pat O's on the river 2 years ago. I cost several grand less than the figure quoted in the article, but it was awesome.
The only thing I would change is one more hour. 3 hours is too short for a reception when the band is good.

50k is starting range for Asian and Indian weddings these days.

NOLA weddings get expensive when the medical bills start stacking up for the gunshot wounds a majority of the party receive.

NOLA old money will spend a small fortune on weddings and invite a thousand people with an open bar and top shelf drinks
