How This Works
UK wedding costs estimated using 2024 industry data from Hitched and Bridebook surveys. Key cost drivers: guest count (determines catering, venue size, stationery), venue choice (30% of budget), and region (London typically 25–35% more expensive). A 10% contingency is built in — unexpected costs are almost universal.
Guest list size has the single biggest impact — cutting 20 guests saves ~£2,000–4,000 depending on style. Other high-impact savings: off-peak day (Thursday/Friday saves 20–30% on venue), non-summer date (Nov–Mar typically cheaper), local venue (avoid marquee costs), digital invitations, home-baked cake from a talented friend, Spotify playlist vs DJ (£0 vs £1,000+). The least noticeable cuts: fancy stationery, favours and centrepieces.
