Weddings don't come cheap -- and neither do wedding planners. The latest Real Weddings Study from wedding information website The Knot -- which surveyed almost 18,000 U.S. brides who married in 2015 -- revealed the cost for a wedding planner averaged $1,996, and $32,641 on a wedding overall (excluding the honeymoon).
Wedding Planner Prices. How much do wedding planners charge? A planner charges in one of three ways: a flat fee, an hourly rate, or a percentage of your overall wedding bill. Costs vary from 10 percent on the lower end to 20 percent on the higher end of the spectrum. Most planners charge flat fees these days, but regardless of which way your planner charges, if you want a full-service scenario, estimate about 15 percent of your wedding budget.
