Your total$110,900

Modelled estimates from Aisle’s wedding cost index, in US dollars. They are not supplier quotes or figures from booked weddings. Replace each amount with your own quote and check what it includes. Food, drink, the welcome dinner and guest transport move with your guest count, and half of the flowers do; the other lines are priced for a wedding of about 80 guests. Bedrooms are what a venue asks you to guarantee, and guests usually pay them back. If a quote bundles lines, enter the package on one and set the others to 0. Flights, guests’ own rooms, attire, rings and a honeymoon are separate. Ask suppliers about taxes, service charges, minimum spends and overtime.

Keep your result. No email needed to copy, download or print.

Wedding budget questions, answered

This budget is what the hosts pay. Keep it apart from the rooms and travel guests pay for themselves: price their trip with the guest travel estimator, put the confirmed arrangements on your wedding website and read the room booking guide before choosing between hotel links and collecting room payments yourself. To divide the total between the couple and their families, see who pays for the wedding.

How much does a destination wedding cost?
Aisle estimates a mid-range destination wedding for 80 guests at about $74,100 (Algarve, Portugal) to $115,800 (Mykonos, Greece), from its modelled cost index. Each figure is a whole wedding at the mid-range level: the venue, food and drink on the day, a welcome dinner and the suppliers. They are modelled estimates, not quotes or prices from booked weddings.
How accurate is a wedding budget calculator?
This calculator starts from Aisle’s wedding cost index: a modelled estimate for each of 9,357 venues, plus a welcome dinner and suppliers estimated for each place. The figures are not quotes or prices from booked weddings, and the range is where most weddings are estimated to land, not a guarantee. Replace each line with a written quote as you plan.
What does the wedding budget include?
The venue’s hire and fees, food and drink on the wedding day, a welcome dinner, any bedrooms a venue asks you to commit to, a planner, photography and video, flowers and styling, music, guest transport, hair, makeup and stationery. Flights, guests’ own rooms, attire, rings and a honeymoon are separate. Check taxes, service charges, minimum spends and overtime with suppliers.
Can I enter my own prices?
Yes. Edit any line, enter zero to remove it, and choose a contingency percentage. Copy the link to preserve those amounts. Changing destination or starting budget level resets edited lines; changing guest count recalculates the lines you have not edited.
Does the month or length of stay change the price?
The estimates are for a Saturday in peak season, and there is no automatic season or stay-length discount. A venue can quote different dates, minimum stays and packages. Enter those actual prices in the worksheet rather than applying one percentage across every destination.
Which currency does the calculator use?
US dollars throughout, the currency of the cost index, converted at European Central Bank reference rates of 2026-10-08. Venues in Europe quote in euros, so convert a quote before you enter it. The calculator does not apply a live exchange rate.
