Work out your wedding budget before you start booking
Use this free UK wedding budget calculator to build a planning estimate by guest count, region, venue type and spending priorities. The interactive calculator lets you save versions on your device, share a link and download a PDF without creating an account.
Results are planning estimates, not live supplier quotes. Dates, availability, specifications and venue requirements can change the price a supplier offers.
Start with guest count and included costs
Guest count changes per-person categories such as catering and stationery, while many supplier categories remain fixed. Compare venue quotes line by line for catering, drinks, staffing, furniture, service charges and VAT before treating them as equivalent.
Your region, venue type and selected spending tier shape the estimate. Keep those assumptions with your plan when you start requesting itemised quotes.
Plan your next steps
Read the UK wedding cost guide, explore detailed venue and catering costs, or visit the wider wedding planning guide.
When you are ready, you can compare BDP photography, film and content creation packages or contact the team. The calculator remains free either way.
Wedding budget calculator FAQs
What does the wedding budget calculator include?
It covers the main costs couples commonly plan for, including venue and catering, photography, film, entertainment, flowers, outfits, stationery, transport, cake, rings and a buffer for extras. Dry-hire venues use a more detailed venue breakdown.
Why does guest count change the estimate?
Some costs, particularly catering and stationery, change with the number of guests. Other supplier costs are usually treated as fixed categories, so reducing the guest list does not reduce every part of a wedding budget.
Are the results live supplier quotes?
No. Results are planning estimates based on the options you select. Supplier prices vary by date, availability, specification and venue, so request itemised quotes before booking.
Can I save or share my wedding budget?
Yes. You can save versions on your device, create a shareable link and download a PDF without creating an account.
