Is Sioux Falls A Great Place to Get Married?

As of May 22, 2022, there were over 108,000 cities in the U.S.! That is a lot of cities where people could and do get married. But what makes a city a "best place" to get married?

For an answer to that question, we'll once again turn to those scientific, number crunchers at Wallet Hub. They compared 182 of the largest U.S. cities in three major categories to come up with their findings.

The 3 categories are:

1. Costs
2. Facilities & Services
3. Activities & Attractions

In the Cost category they looked at average wedding costs, price of hotel rooms and wedding meals, as well as wedding venues.

Under Facilities & services, they examined a number of wedding must haves available per capita. For example -

• Wedding churches or chapels
• Party equipment rentals
• Bridal shops
• Musicians and DJs
• Flower and gift shops
• Limousine rentals
• Catering companies
• Cake shops/bakeries

For Activities and attractions they considered things like -

• Weather
• Popularity of city as a travel destination
• Foodie-friendliness
• Amusement and entertainment
• Number of Attractions

Out of 182 cities, Sioux Falls came in at 107th best place to get married. Which is pretty good, all things considered.

But the top 5 cities to get married in are:

1. Orlando, Florida
2. Las Vegas, Nevada
3. Tulsa, Oklahoma
4. Tampa, Florida
5. Atlanta, Georgia
