How much should you spend on each part of your wedding?
Most couples split their wedding budget along similar lines. Venue and catering is by far the biggest cost — usually around 40% of the total — followed by photography and video, attire, flowers and entertainment. This calculator starts from those typical percentages and lets you adjust every line to match your priorities. As you change one number, the totals and your remaining budget update instantly so you never overspend.
There's no single "right" budget — a backyard wedding for 40 guests and a 200-person celebration look very different per head. Use the cost per guest figure to sanity-check your plan: trimming the guest list is usually the fastest way to bring a wedding budget down.
