The Harsh Reality

Updated: May 29

As wedding vendors, we need to understand the sacrifices that our clients make.


Someone is picking up an extra shift in order to make your payment.

Someone is volunteering to work overtime.

Someone is meticulously combing through their finances at the start of the month.

Someone is choosing to eat in instead of going out.

Someone is feeling guiltly for spending so much on "just one day."


According to the US Census Bureau, the gross average North Carolina household income is $92,878/year, or $7,739/mo. (Monthly household takehome pay is $6,125)


The average salary in North Carolina is $52,875/year, or $4,406/mo. (Monthly household takehome pay is $3,705.75)

The average mortgage payment is $1,122

The average student loan repayment is $448

The average car payment is $533

The average car insurance payment is $143

The average 401k contribution is $221

The average health/dental/vision insurance is $482

The average water bill is $48

The average electric bill is $184

The average internet bill is $85

The average grocery bill is $303

The average gas bill is $119

That leaves a remaining leftover balance of $17.00 on a single income, or $1,230.00 on a combined household income. ...Let that sink in. At LS Planning & Co. we offer FLEXIBLE payment options because we know first-hand how expensive weddings can be. Not only do we know the sacrifice that you make in order to book us...but we appreciate it and never take it for granted.
