About these figures. The percentages are indicative UK averages drawn from national wedding surveys (Hitched and Bridebook annual reports) — a sensible starting point, not a rule. Real weddings vary enormously, and the split in the Lakes or at Gretna differs again; genuine local figures are on our average wedding cost page. Every category above links to the local suppliers who provide it.
