Build this around your wedding.
Try Wedding Builder — Free ✨Give Wedding Builder your budget, vibe and priorities for a personalized local vendor roster and category-by-category plan.
Start with the money that actually exists
Before researching vendors, decide the amount you are comfortable spending and identify who is contributing. Avoid building a plan around money that has not been clearly offered or committed.
Pick your top three priorities
If photography, food and a beautiful venue matter most, protect those categories first. Your budget should reflect what you value rather than an internet template.
Track all-in pricing
- Base price
- Taxes
- Service charges
- Gratuities
- Delivery and travel
- Rentals
- Overtime
- Alterations
- Postage
- Vendor meals
- Insurance
- Tips and last-minute purchases
Keep a reserve
Hold back roughly 5–10% of your working budget for forgotten details and late changes. It is much easier to enjoy an unused reserve at the end than to discover one was needed a month before the wedding.
