Start with the costs you can explain
List the venue, food, styling, entertainment and other categories relevant to your event. Use your own quotes rather than treating a sample budget as a market price. Separate costs that depend on headcount from costs that remain fixed.
Bring supplier quotes into the budget
The supplier workflow keeps selected businesses and quotes alongside your planning. When adding a quote to your budget, review what it includes and whether additional expenses need their own entry. Comparable totals are more useful than a headline price alone.
Review the plan as the event changes
A changed guest count, larger room or new supplier can affect the budget. Update recorded expenses and review the available totals and reports. Budget recording is not the same as collecting or paying a supplier through DEVENT.
How to use it
- Create the expense categories for your event.
- Add your quotes and recorded expenses.
- Review totals when guest numbers or supplier choices change.
Worked example
An illustrative budget, not a price estimate
A sample plan records venue hire at A$4,000, catering at A$6,000, styling at A$1,500 and entertainment at A$1,000. The A$12,500 total is an arithmetic example only. Your actual budget should use current quotes and your event requirements.
Common questions
Are sample amounts average Australian prices?
No. Amounts shown here are illustrative. Obtain current quotes from your venue and suppliers.
Does a budget entry pay a supplier?
No. Recording a quote or expense helps manage your plan. Confirm payment arrangements directly with the supplier.
