At the end of May and beginning of June, the wedding season starts and wedding planners offer exceptional and quite unusual locations and services for couples. It is no longer a dream to say yes in a magical castle, deep down in a forest or on a boat. Moreover, it is also an available option to “hire” a whole village for the special celebration. Everything is possible the only obstacle is money.
According to the research of Pénzcentrum, the number of marriages in Hungary rapidly decreased from the 1970s, reaching its lowest point nine years ago. In 2010, only 35,000 couples decided to walk down the alley. From 2010, changes began to happen. Approximately 52,500 couples got married after 2010 until 2016. For the first time after two decades, the number of marriages was above fifty thousand. In 2017, fewer people but still above fifty thousand said yes to each other.
Between January and November 2018, there were averagely five weddings reflected 1,000 residents.
21st-century marriage boom in Hungary
Marriage boom has been present in Hungary since 2010. The recent research conducted by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH) clearly demonstrates the growth and provides an explanation for the growing number of people committing themselves. Here are the details of the research.
Taking everything into consideration, from the wedding ring to the location, it is no longer a surprise that Hungarians spend millions to one wedding. Of course, many other features influence the wedding’s price, but it is a general fact that no Hungarian weddings are below 1 million HUF (3,000 EUR). There are many types of weddings with different requests, starting from 1,5 million HUF (traditional weddings) up to 3,5 million HUF (weddings at unique locations) (4,400–10,400 EUR).
