MA & RI Rank High Among the Top Wedding Industry States in the US!

Writer's picture: GWEGWE

In a recent survey New York came in as the No. 1 wedding industry state overall, with top employment and wage scores for event planners, jewelers and photographers, despite landing in the middle of the pack for florists. While other states excelled for either pay or job rates, New York scored fairly well for both metrics across career paths.

Yet even within the top-ranked state, there are major gaps between jobs in the wedding industry: Event planners in New York take home an average of $78,490 annually, more than double the average florist’s salary of $36,200. And while New York stacks up better against other states for photographers than it does for bakers, the Empire State has only 39.1 photographers for every 100,000 jobs overall, compared with 133.9 bakers.

Runner-up Washington, meanwhile, is among the top five states for event planners, jewelers, photographers and bakers, though it didn’t make the cut for florists. No. 3 Rhode Island scores well due to high employment rates, and neighbor Massachusetts ranks No. 4 overall because of its high average pay across the board. Hawaii, meanwhile, was propelled to the No. 5 slot by comparatively good pay for florists ($38,790), as well as high employment rates for photographers and bakers.
