A budget tool that knows your wedding
Generic budget calculators give you a percentage breakdown and call it a day. This one talks to your vendor checklist, so your spend stays in sync without any extra work.
Set your total budget
Pick a number that feels right for you. Adjust it any time. The tracker scales every category to match.
Per-category breakdown
See where your money goes: venue, catering, photographer, florist, DJ, the works. Each category has its own line.
BC and Vancouver Island averages
Suggested allocations are based on real local averages, so you start with realistic numbers instead of generic templates.
Custom amounts
Override any category with your own number. Maybe your venue is included, or your photographer is a friend. Adjust to fit your reality.
Auto-syncs with bookings
Deposits and final balances you log on the vendor checklist roll into the tracker automatically. No double entry.
Spent vs remaining
See total allocated, total spent, and what is left at a glance. No mental math, no formulas to fix.
Print-ready breakdown
Export a clean summary to share with your partner, family, or financial planner. PDF-style layout, ready to print.
Free for every couple
No subscription, no upsell, no paywalled categories. The full budget tool is included with your free account.
