There is one thing that almost every study on weddings in Spain confirms, even if they do not always agree on the exact figure: getting married is expensive and, almost always, costs more than the couple had planned. What differs is the starting point.
According to the 2026 Wedding Sector Report by ‘Bodas.net’, based on the testimonies of more than 2,000 couples who married in 2025, the average cost of a wedding in Spain stands at 25,183 euros, not including the honeymoon or the engagement ring.
A different study, published by the financial platform Raisin and based on a survey of 1,500 people, pushes that figure up to 32,355 euros. The gap between the two numbers, more than 7,000 euros, is not a mistake; both point in the same direction.
The initial budget rarely survives the planning
Only 41% of couples manage to stick to their initial budget, while 45% end up spending more than they had planned. Raisin’s figures go a little further and raise that percentage to 70%, with 20% of respondents admitting they overshot their budget by more than a fifth of the total.
