FAQ

Wedding budget calculator — common questions

Our estimates are based on real vendor pricing data across AU, NZ, UK, US, and CA. We adjust for guest count and your spending priorities. Use the ranges as a planning guide — your actual costs will vary by location, season, and vendor choices.

We support AUD, NZD, GBP, USD, and CAD. Select your country at the top of the page and all costs adjust to local market rates automatically.

About 60% of your wedding budget scales directly with guest count — catering, bar, stationery, favours, and seating. The other 40% (venue, photography, attire, entertainment) stays relatively fixed whether you have 50 or 200 guests.

This calculator covers the major categories. For a deep dive into the expenses most couples forget — tips, alterations, insurance, name change fees — try our Hidden Costs Calculator.

Yes. Our wedding planner app imports these categories and lets you track actual spending in real time, with over-budget alerts and vendor payment tracking. The full planner is free, forever — no credit card.
