Frequently asked questions
Are the category percentages (like 45% for venue and catering) fixed rules? They're typical industry averages used as a starting allocation, not fixed rules — actual splits vary widely depending on region, guest count, and personal priorities.
Does cost per guest include the entire wedding budget or just catering? Cost per guest is calculated from the full total budget divided by guest count, not just the food and beverage portion.
