Nothing says "stress" quite like planning a wedding. From finding the perfect dress and breathtaking venue to planning the guest list and delicious menu, some cities have more options than others.
WalletHub recently compiled a list of the best places to get married in the U.S. in 2022, searching more than 180 cities across the country to determine the best spot to say "I do." One city in North Carolina even made the Top 20.
So which North Carolina cities are among the best places to get married?
- No. 17: Fayetteville
- No. 31: Raleigh
- No. 37: Charlotte
- No. 40: Greensboro
- No. 90: Winston-Salem
- No. 94: Durham
Most of the cities ranked in the top half of the list, but Fayetteville is the only city to cracked the Top 20 overall, even though it has among the fewest event planners per capita of all the cities included in the list. The city offset its lower number of facilities and attractions with having some of the lowest costs in the country.
Here are the Top 10 best places to get married in the U.S.:
- Orlando, Florida
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Miami, Florida
- Knoxville, Tennessee
- Tulsa, Oklahoma
- El Paso, Texas
- Tampa, Florida
- Laredo, Texas
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Charleston, West Virginia
To determine the list, WalletHub compared 182 cities across the country across three factors: costs, facilities & services, and activities & attractions. These factors were then evaluated using 28 relevant metrics, including average wedding cost, restaurant-meal costs, wedding chapels & churches per capita, venues & event spaces per capita, event planners per capita, bridal shops per capita, hotels per capita, number of attractions, popularity as a travel destination, foodie friendliness, weather and many more.
