Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding event expenses and calculations.
What are the standard industry budget allocations?
Typically, the venue and catering consume the largest portion of the budget (around 45% to 50%). Photography and videography average 10% to 12%, attire and rings 8% to 10%, decoration and flowers 8% to 10%, entertainment 8% to 10%, and miscellaneous buffers account for the remainder.
How does the guest count impact the budget?
Catering, beverages, invitations, table settings, and favors are direct per-guest costs. The planner computes a custom per-guest cost so you can instantly see how adding or removing guests affects the overall total.
What should I put in the miscellaneous category?
Use the miscellaneous budget for contingency buffers, tips for vendors, marriage license fees, wedding insurance, and unexpected delivery or setup surcharges.
