Why we built this

A good starting wedding budget depends on three things: how many people you're feeding, where you're getting married, and the style of event. Our calculator combines these into a per-guest cost (e.g., $450/guest at a Standard US wedding) and then splits that total across the 14 categories most weddings need. The recommended ranges (±15%) give you a frame, not a quote.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the recommended amounts?

They're based on 2024–2025 industry averages from US, UK, EU, Canadian, and Australian wedding cost surveys. Your actual costs will vary widely by city, season, day of the week, and vendor choice. Treat the ranges as a starting frame.

Does the calculator save my data?

Yes — automatically, in your browser only. No account is required. If you switch browsers or clear your data, your work won't be there. There is no server-side database.

Can I export to a spreadsheet?

Yes. The "Export CSV" button downloads a CSV with every category and your line items, ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.
