Make the numbers yours
Replace allowances with quoted amounts, or enter 0 for anything you are skipping. Guest count changes recalculate unedited lines; changing destination or budget level resets edits.
Starting allowances from Aisle’s existing destination model. They are not current supplier quotes or measured wedding averages. Replace each amount with your own quote and check what it includes. Venue hire is a fixed allowance; catering and guest services are priced per guest. If your quote bundles them, enter the package on one line and set the overlapping line to 0. Flights, accommodation, rings and honeymoon are separate. Ask suppliers about taxes, service charges, minimum spends and overtime.
Keep your result. No email needed to copy, download or print.

Using your wedding budget
How accurate is a wedding budget calculator?
This calculator uses Aisle’s existing destination allowances to make a starting worksheet. The bands are not measured averages, current quotes or a statistical confidence interval. Replace each line with a written quote as you plan.
What does the wedding budget include?
The starting budget includes base venue hire, venue and catering costs per guest, photography, flowers, music, a planner, attire, a welcome dinner and guest transport. Flights, accommodation, rings and 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?
There is no automatic season or stay-length discount in this model. 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?
The currency is shown beside the result: EUR for the Italian and Greek models, USD for the other models. The comparison groups destinations in the same currency. It does not apply a live exchange rate.
For agentsThe same numbers are callable as get_budget_estimate over the Aisle MCP server, in ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor.
