OCEAN CITY, Md. – If wedding bells are in your near future, one Ocean City business wants to provide you all the magic for your special day at a fraction of the cost.

We’re told due to historic high inflation, the U.S. average a couple will spend for a wedding is now around $39,000.

A rise in things like food, flowers, and decorations all contribute to that.

That’s why Barefoot Beach Bridal is offering micro wedding packages, which includes a ceremony right on the beach front that starts at around just $699. “So when you think about if you’re adding a good 30-40% on top of what your original budget was, you have to start looking at ways you’ll be able to cut back but still have that magic day,” Barefoot Beach Bride Owner Jodie Meeks said.

“Let us work proposals and give the opportunity to still have that dream wedding but really go into some fine tuning and creating things on a less expensive scale.”

For those looking for ways to cut costs Meeks suggests going for cupcakes instead of a big wedding cake, appetizer style dinners for the reception, and trimming down the guest list.
