Ultimate Wedding Budget Calculator & Planner

UK Wedding Budget Calculator & Price Planner

Updated 21/01/2026. Nobody ever said playing a wedding was easy did they?! One of the biggest issues we see clients struggle with early on in the planning stages is how to manage their wedding budget and divide it up accurately and efficiently into all its separate, constituent parts. Let’s be realistic, how are you supposed to know how much a wedding photographer is? Or for that matter a magician? Or a registrar? Or a wedding cake for 80 people? Or a bridal car? Or a church donation? Or a brides veil and tiarra? The list goes on and on and on…

So, here for your convenience is our latest 2026 version of our Ultimate Wedding Budget Planner & Price Calculator. It’s a super quick and easy to use, interactive wedding planning tool in Excel format that splits your total wedding budget up into all its individual parts.

Simply input your total wedding budget to find out how much you have to spend on your venue, catering and all vendors, suppliers and services.

Budgeting for your own wedding has never been easier!
