Overshoot warnings
Set a target. The moment your booked + actual amounts exceed it, the page paints red and tells you by how much. No more 'we'll figure it out later' moments at 2am.
Free wedding budget tracker
A wedding budget tracker that warns you before you overshoot.
Track estimated, booked and paid amounts across 18+ categories. Vendor payment alerts. Overshoot warnings. Three status pills. Autosave. Free to start.
How it works
Four steps to a wedding budget that actually holds.
01
Set your target
Type the total you don't want to cross. It's the only number that matters — everything else paces against it.
02
Add lines per category
Venue. Catering. Photography. Flowers. Each line carries an estimated cost, an actual cost once it's quoted, and a paid amount once the deposit goes out.
03
Track booked vs paid
Three status pills — planned, booked, paid — tell you at a glance where each line stands. Aggregated totals roll up at the top of the page.
04
Stay ahead of deadlines
A dedicated 'Payments due' digest sorts every vendor and budget line with a deadline into Overdue, This week, Next 60 days and Later buckets. No more surprise late fees.

What makes it different
Six reasons couples ditch the spreadsheet.
Vendor payment alerts
Every vendor contract has a due date. Every budget line too. Our dedicated Payments due page surfaces what's overdue, due this week, or due in the next 60 days — with click-to-call and quick email.
Three status pills
Planned, Booked, Paid. Visual rhythm tells you instantly which categories are still vague and which are locked. The summary card aggregates totals across all three at once.
18 categories out of the box
From venue and catering to honeymoon and legal. Categories are shared with the vendor directory — assign a vendor to a line and the link is automatic.
Autosave on every keystroke
Every change debounces and persists 700 ms after you stop typing. No 'save' button. Refresh the page mid-edit — you lose nothing.
Private by default
Your budget never appears on your wedding website. Couples can share visibility with their wedding planner via a dedicated planner role — nothing else leaks.
Frequently asked
Quick answers about the wedding budget tracker.
Is the wedding budget tracker really free?
Yes. The budget tracker is part of our free tier. You can plan a full wedding without paying us a euro — including the planner suite, RSVP, guest list, seating chart and templates.
How does the wedding budget tracker work?
Set a target total, add a line for each category (venue, catering, photography, flowers, music, attire…), and fill in estimated, actual (booked) and paid amounts as the wedding takes shape. The page shows aggregated totals against your target and warns you the moment you overshoot.
Can I track multiple vendors per category?
Yes. Add as many lines as you want under each category. Each line is independent — assign a different vendor, due date and status to each.
What about vendor deposits and final payments?
Every vendor and budget line carries a due date. A dedicated Payments due page aggregates them, sorts by urgency (Overdue / This week / Next 60 days / Later), and lets you call or email the vendor in one click.
Does the tracker support multiple currencies?
Yes — default is EUR but you can switch to USD, GBP, AED, LBP or any standard ISO currency code. Totals are reported in your chosen currency.
Can my wedding planner access the budget?
Yes. Our Wedding Planner role grants full visibility on the budget tracker and 30+ other Management tools, without exposing your billing or admin settings. Perfect for professional planners working alongside you.
What categories are pre-loaded?
18 by default: venue, catering, alcohol, photography, videography, flowers & decor, music & DJ, attire, hair & makeup, stationery, rings, transport, officiant, wedding planner, honeymoon, legal & city hall, administrative, and other. You can add custom categories too.
What if I just want to see what I've already paid vs what's left?
The summary card at the top shows three numbers at a glance: Estimated, Booked / actual, and Paid. Below it, a progress bar shows your actual spend against the target. One look tells you exactly where you are.
