We built the file we couldn’t find.

Every wedding budget template we downloaded was a blank grid. It had column headings and nothing else — no formulas, no percentages, no idea what a photographer actually costs. It expected us to already know the answers we were downloading it to find. So we built the finished version instead: type your budget in once, and the categories, the vendor payments, the due dates and the cost per guest work themselves out.

What you get is one file and one guide. Ten tabs — dashboard, budget setup, vendor tracker, payment calendar, guest list, vendor comparison, 12-month timeline, seating chart, day-of schedule and a plain-English start page — with 825 formulas already written. Alongside it is a 50-page playbook covering all 14 budget categories, the costs that never appear on a template, and how to read a vendor contract before you sign it. It opens in Google Sheets, Excel and Numbers. One payment of $29, no subscription, no upsell, nothing held back for a bigger version.

We’re a small operation, not a wedding brand with an office and a story. There are no reviews on this site yet because it is new, and we would rather say so than invent them. What we can do is tell you exactly what is inside before you pay, answer your email ourselves — usually the same day — and refund you within 30 days if the file doesn’t do what we said it would.
