Not what it should cost — what it costs today, with the guests who said yes. The budget planner works from your real numbers and speaks up before one of them becomes a surprise.
No credit card. Only you see the budget — never your guests.

Calculated from 51 confirmations in your guest list.
Most couples only learn what their wedding cost once it is over.
Not out of carelessness: a spreadsheet does not recalculate when twelve guests cancel, the photographer stays two hours longer and the venue starts billing by the hour after midnight. That is exactly where four-figure surprises come from — quietly.
You do not type “51 covers”. You type “one cover per confirmed guest” — and the number is read from your other tools every time the budget opens.
Read from the guest list. Children count separately, so a children's menu is never paid for twice.

Read from the seating plan. Drop a table and its flowers leave the budget with it.

From the ceremony to the first dance — started hours round up, the way they are billed.

If five guests cancel, food, drinks, favors and service staff correct themselves. Nothing to maintain by hand — which is why the total is still right two weeks before the day.
Three things home-made spreadsheets reliably get wrong — built in from the start here.
Several quotes per item, one of them selected. If a quote says “valid for 55 people”, the budget warns you the moment your guest list grows past it — the most expensive mistake in any catering contract.
€74 per cover, valid for 55 people
Selected€62 per cover, no fish course
From 56 confirmations the selected quote no longer covers your guest count.
Every item knows its payments. What is still outstanding is derived, so it stays correct even when the quantity changes later.

The remainder is never stored, always derived: item total minus payments made.
Create pots — the two of you, the parents, a contribution. Every item belongs to one, and the overview breaks the total down pot by pot.
Names are yours to choose — at a company party the pot is simply called “marketing budget”.
No blank page. Answer a few questions about your celebration and the planner assembles a complete cost list from them.
Registry office, church or a free ceremony? Photographer, videographer, band or DJ? Children coming? The answers decide the list — what you do not need never shows up.
Every item carries a range rather than a single figure. You can see at a glance whether your quote sits at the low or the high end.
Each item knows how far in advance it is usually booked. Move the wedding and the deadlines move with it.
Reference prices are dated market observation — never a quote. The moment you have a real number, yours wins.
A cancelled item does not simply disappear: the cancellation fee stays. And the hour past the agreed end time is in no contract anyone reads beforehand — but it is in the budget.
Permit conditions could not be met. The 20 % cancellation fee stays in the budget instead of quietly vanishing.
One hour past the agreed end time, taken straight from your run sheet.
The budget planner itself is unlimited — it is only ever for you and never delivered to guests. What is limited are guest seats in the seating plan and guest list; the free plan covers 20.
Planning costs nothing
Starting from 39 €
Budget, seating plan, guest list and run sheet come with every gallery. You only pay when you need more guests, more photos or a longer runtime.
Six questions, a complete budget, and from then on it keeps up — with every confirmation, every cancellation and every hour that runs long.
