Question 1

How much does a wedding cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends mostly on the guest count and the style of the day. As a rule of thumb, count around 120 € per guest for an intimate wedding, 220 € for a classic one and 400 € or more for a luxury celebration. The calculator turns your own budget and headcount into a category-by-category breakdown.

Question 2

How should I split my wedding budget?

Accepted Answer

The venue and the catering usually take about half of the total, followed by photography, attire, flowers and music. Keep around 10% aside for extras and last-minute costs — it is the line most couples forget.

Question 3

How can we reduce the cost of our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Cutting the guest list is by far the most effective lever, because catering, drinks, cake and stationery all scale with headcount. Choosing an off-peak date and a venue that allows your own caterer also makes a large difference.
