Building a Wedding Budget in Australia

Build an AUD wedding budget from your own quotes, guest numbers and priorities rather than an assumed average cost.

Separate the venue agreement

Check whether a venue quote includes food, furniture, staffing, setup and taxes. Record inclusions before adding separate supplier lines so a bundled service is not counted twice.

Set priorities before deposits

Agree which items matter most to the couple and who approves commitments. Use current written quotes and review the budget when guest counts or package scope change.

Worked example · illustrative details

A sample 80-person wedding

A$4,000 venue hire + 80 meals at A$90 (A$7,200) + A$2,000 photography + A$800 flowers = A$14,000 before any other items or contingency. These are illustrative figures, not Australian average prices.
