Where the money goes

    Estimates use average costs for each category, adjusted for your guest count, region, season, and priorities. Vendor tips are your chosen percentage of catering, photography, music, and attire and beauty. Your cushion is added on top of everything and included in the total. Use these as planning ranges, not vendor quotes.
