Stop guessing your wedding costs (get a real range)

Free wedding budget calculator for the USA. ZIP-based ranges, hidden costs included, no account required. Get results in under a minute.
I built Big Day Budget after watching too many engaged couples do the same exhausting loop: open 10 tabs, read conflicting “average wedding cost” articles, download a generic spreadsheet, then panic because none of it matches their city, their guest count, or their priorities.
The tipping point was seeing how often budgeting stress steals the fun from planning. Couples weren’t asking for a perfect number, they were asking for clarity: a realistic range, what actually drives the cost up, and what to do next so they can feel in control again.
So Big Day Budget starts with a few quick inputs (ZIP, guests, venue style, priorities) and gives you a personalized budget range with the “forgotten” costs baked in like tax, tips, fees, and overtime. Then you can run what-if scenarios instantly, lock categories you’ve already quoted, and rebalance the rest without having to rebuild a spreadsheet.
The goal is simple: turn budget uncertainty into a calm plan you can act on. If you’re planning a wedding (or helping someone who is), I’d love your feedback on what feels most helpful and what you’d want next.
