Episode 2: Let’s Plan Your Budget!
We’re not planning a budget, we’re planning your budget.
Everyone has a number in their head that they want to spend on their wedding. And we bet you have already had some stressful moments thinking about your budget.
Whatever your budget is, in this episode we walk you through the full allocation, line by line: what goes to food and beverage, entertainment, design, photographer, etc., and how those ratios shift when your budget runs smaller or much larger.
We also get into the things nobody warns you about — minimums v/s estimates; service fees, taxes and gratuities; which costs are per person, which are fixed, and which are per table; how budgets can change when a wedding is tented or in a raw space; and the questions you should ask before signing any contract. Plus, our system for managing it all, payment tracking and payment cadence.
Download the Let’s Plan Workbook for the budget template. Simply enter your bottom line, and voila! It will automatically populate the initial estimated amounts for every line item so you can edit based on your priorities and plan with confidence.
