Wedding services enhance the marriage experience by offering expertise, reducing stress, ensuring smooth coordination, and facilitating a personalized and memorable event.

This year also saw a record high of same-sex marriages, totaling 7,800, which accounted for 3.2% of all marriages, with female same-sex marriages reaching their highest number at 4,896. Therefore, the growing number of marriages is poised to boost the wedding services market.

For instance, in June 2022, based on a report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal income experienced a monthly increase of $113.4 billion or 0.5 percent in May 2022. Disposable personal income (DPI) rose by $96.5 billion (0.5%). Hence, the surge in disposable incomes is a driving factor for the growth of the wedding service market.
