How to Use This Calculator

Enter your Guest Count — the single biggest driver of wedding cost.
Select the Venue Type (Outdoor, Hotel Ballroom, Barn, Restaurant, or Estate) to set the venue baseline.
Choose the Meal Type: Buffet is most economical, Plated Dinner is mid-range, Cocktail Reception is lowest.
Pick your Season — off-season dates (Jan–Mar) can save 20% versus peak summer months.
Select your Region; costs in a Luxury Metro (NYC, LA, SF) run nearly 2.5× a rural area.
Review the Estimated Total Cost and each vendor line item — Venue, Catering, Photography, Florist, DJ, Cake, Attire, and Invitations — to prioritize spending.
