Wedding Service Global Market Report 2024

The wedding service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $196.58 billion in 2023 to $219.8 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the impact of cultural and religious traditions on shaping wedding ceremonies, the societal significance and expectations linked to weddings, levels of economic prosperity and disposable income, the influence of celebrity weddings, and the transformation of wedding fashion and the bridal industry.

The wedding service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $327.19 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to the proliferation of wedding-related media and content, the significance placed on family values and ceremonial events, the increasing popularity of destination weddings, evolving demographics and diverse wedding traditions, as well as the prevailing trends of personalization and customization in wedding services.

The anticipated increase in the number of marriages is poised to drive the growth of the wedding services market. Marriage, recognized as a legal and socially accepted partnership, typically between a man and a woman, is regulated by laws, norms, conventions, beliefs, and attitudes that delineate the rights and responsibilities of the partners and confer status to their offspring. Wedding services contribute to and enhance marriages by offering expertise, alleviating stress, ensuring seamless coordination, and facilitating a personalized and memorable wedding experience. For instance, as of April 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the total number of marriages in the United States reached 1,985,072 in 2021. Thus, the escalating number of marriages is expected to be a driving force for the wedding services market.

The upswing in disposable incomes is anticipated to propel the growth of the wedding service market. Disposable income signifies the total earnings available to an individual or household for spending and saving after accounting for taxes and other obligatory deductions. The increase in disposable incomes empowers couples to allocate additional resources to weddings, fostering the expansion of the wedding service market as they increasingly invest in personalized, premium services. 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.


Product innovations emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the wedding service market.

Leading companies in the wedding service market are actively developing innovative solutions such as all-in-one planning platforms to cater to broader customer bases, drive increased sales, and boost revenue.

This platform facilitates seamless wedding planning for couples, offering features such as personalized wedding websites with essential information for guests, including the wedding date, location, RSVP details, and gift registry links.
