Frequently asked questions
What percentage of a wedding budget goes to the venue and food?
Usually 40–50%. It's the largest cost because it scales with the number of guests, so the guest count is the strongest lever on your budget.
How do I lower the cost per guest?
Reduce the guest list, choose an off-peak date, or simplify the menu. Even small changes to the guest count make a noticeable difference.
Can I track actual expenses against this budget?
Yes. Memorama's free finance tracker lets you log expenses and payments and see what's left in real time.
