How the estimate works

We start with a per-guest catering baseline for your region ($85 lower-cost, $140 average, $220 major metro), adjust it for wedding style (Backyard 0.55×, Classic 1×, Luxury 1.8×, Destination 1.25×), then derive the total budget from catering's typical 30% share and split it across ten standard categories. The range reflects normal quote variation (85% to 120% of the midpoint). Real quotes vary by season, vendors, and choices — treat this as a starting point, then track your actual numbers in the spreadsheet.
