Wedding Budget Calculator

Guest count drives catering, so it moves a wedding budget more than anything else. Add the fixed items to see the full picture.

Results

How it works

Total = guests x per-guest cost + all fixed items. Remaining = budget - total. Cost per guest = total / guests.

FAQ

What does per guest include?

Food, drinks, rentals and service charges that scale with headcount.

Are tips and tax included?

Only if you add them. Vendor contracts often list service charges separately.

How do I lower the total?

Trim the guest list first; every guest saves the per-guest cost.
