Events overrun because costs hide in a dozen categories. Enter your budget, guests, and spend so far to see your per-guest cost and what's left — then plan every category with the tool.

Allocations vary, but a large share typically goes to the venue and catering (often together around half the budget), with the rest split across photography, attire, flowers, music, stationery, and a contingency. Rather than force your event into a template, start from your total budget and priorities, allocate the big categories first, and keep a buffer for surprises. This planner lets you set your own category splits and tracks them against actual spend.
Usually a combination of underestimated categories, forgotten line items (taxes, tips, service charges, delivery fees), and scope creep as plans grow. Per-guest costs also multiply quickly — adding guests raises catering, rentals, and stationery all at once. A detailed, category-level budget with a contingency, tracked against actual commitments, is the best defence. The tool makes the per-guest impact and remaining budget visible so overruns are caught early.
