Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the pricing for my local market?

Yes. All pricing is fully adjustable. Update venue costs, catering rates, and vendor pricing to match your local market. This ensures couples get realistic estimates for your area.

How can wedding venues use this calculator?

Venues can pre-set their venue pricing and show couples the total cost including catering (if in-house) and other services. It helps couples understand the full investment and reduces sticker shock during consultations.

Can wedding planners use this for lead generation?

Absolutely. The calculator demonstrates your expertise while collecting contact info from engaged couples. You receive their budget preferences and guest count - perfect for qualifying leads before the first call.

Is this useful for destination wedding planners?

Yes. You can create multiple versions with different base pricing for different destinations. Help couples understand cost differences between locations.

Can I add my own service packages?

Yes. Add your coordination packages, venue packages, or preferred vendor bundles as options. This lets couples see the value of working with your recommended vendors.
