The Average Wedding Venue Cost. It's the reception hall that takes the biggest chunk out of couples' wedding budgets. The Knot surveyed almost 16,000 newlyweds. On average, they paid $14,006 for their reception venues. That's higher than what their predecessors paid the year before ($13,385). Wedding ceremony sites, on the other hand, cost $1,901, on average, in 2014.
