According to an evaluation by the online wedding portals Hochzeits.click based in Lengau-Friedburg and the platform hochzeits-location.info, a particularly large number of weddings will take place this year. During the pandemic and the numerous lockdowns, most weddings were canceled. Now apparently many bridal couples want to step in front of the altar as soon as possible and catch up on their wedding.
At least that is what the number of hits on the two online portals shows. According to the operators, these have risen sharply in recent months and are at a higher level than in pre-Corona times. “The year 2022 will be a mega wedding year, people want to get married again,” say Bernhard Fichtenbauer from hochzeits-location.info and Roland Pöll from hochzeits.click, who, as large domestic providers, have an overview.
Together they provide an offer service for two-thirds of all bridal couples searching online and can thus offer a comprehensive insight into the domestic wedding market. According to the providers, the mediation of weddings on hochzeits.click and hochzeits-location.info has doubled in the past six months compared to the same period last year.
It is striking that in May, a month in which only weddings for the following year are usually requested, every fourth request was made for a wedding in the summer of 2022. According to Fichtenbauer, this trend is not only due to the pandemic, but also corresponds to the zeitgeist of bridal couples. “Even events as drastic as a wedding are being planned and realized more and more spontaneously. There is also a tendency for larger wedding celebrations to be desired. In the past two years, the requests were mostly for 15 to 45 wedding guests, but now there are again celebrations with 60 to 120 wedding guests asked.” Bernhard Fichtenbauer’s internet portal www.hochzeits-location.info, founded in Friedburg in 2015, specializes in information services on the subject of weddings.
With more than three million page views per year and around 2,700 venues for wedding celebrations, the portal is one of the leading wedding location portals in the German-speaking region.
