Wedding Budget Calculator
Put in your total and guest count and see where UK couples actually spend it, category by category.
Two figures to begin
See where it all goes.
Enter your total budget and guest count. This splits it using the proportions UK couples actually report, not an idealised model, and shows what each category works out at. Adjust any figure and the rest rebalances.
Category by category
Your budget, split.
These proportions are the pattern we see most often, not a rule. Catering and drinks scale with your guest list; photography, film and flowers largely do not. Cutting ten guests saves more than cutting any single supplier.
