Overall, while not having an extremely high wedding volume, Rhode Island hosts a considerable number of weddings each year that are more expensive than the U.S. average. The average cost of a wedding in Rhode Island was $32,134, which ranks 11th highest out of 51 states for average wedding costs.

As a wedding videographer I get an inside look at the Rhode Island wedding industry year after year. With the smallest state's relatively small population, you might think the wedding market here is fairly sleepy compared to other parts of New England and the country. Let's start with the biggest number - according to The Wedding Report, there were 7,644 weddings in Rhode Island in 2022.
