Plan Your Dream Wedding with Our Comprehensive Wedding Budget Calculator

Our wedding calculator uses industry standards and real wedding data to provide accurate estimates. However, actual costs may vary based on your specific location, vendor choices, and personal preferences. We recommend using the calculator as a starting point and adjusting as needed based on your research and vendor quotes.

Ideally, you should start planning your wedding budget as soon as you get engaged, typically 12-18 months before your wedding date. This gives you ample time to save, research vendors, and make adjustments as needed. For destination weddings, we recommend starting even earlier, around 18-24 months in advance.

While allocations can vary based on your priorities, a typical breakdown includes: 45-50% for venue, catering, and rentals; 10-15% for photography and videography; 8-10% for attire and beauty; 8-10% for flowers and decor; 8-10% for music and entertainment; 2-3% for invitations and stationery; 2-3% for wedding rings; 2-3% for transportation; and 8-10% for miscellaneous expenses and a contingency fund.

Destination weddings can sometimes be less expensive than local weddings, especially if you choose a country with a favorable exchange rate and have a smaller guest list. However, you’ll need to factor in additional costs like travel, accommodations, and possibly a wedding planner who specializes in destination weddings. Our country-specific calculators can help you estimate these costs more accurately.
