Starting values and the split come from The Knot 2026 Real Weddings Study averages (average wedding $34,200, 117 guests, catering about $80 per guest, costs by guest count). We scale each vendor's national average to your budget (our calculation) and hold back a 5% buffer, as The Knot advises. Prices vary a lot by city and season.
