The real cost logic (what actually drives your budget)

Instead of thinking in categories, think in multipliers:


  • Guest count → biggest cost driver

  • Venue type → sets baseline budget level

  • Date (season + day) → affects availability and pricing flexibility

  • Logistics complexity → transport, setup, timing

  • Design ambition → florals, lighting, production

👉 Same venue + different structure = completely different final cost.
