Venue, budget, guest list, coverage — the questions that feel biggest right now have real answers. These four tools give them to you, free, before you've spent a dollar or talked to anyone.
Most of the guidance out there is either too generic to use or quietly trying to sell you something. You're left comparing venues you've never toured, guessing at a budget that has to hold together, and wondering if the guest count you wrote down is even realistic. None of that should feel like a leap of faith.
I've sat across from more than 400 couples across Philadelphia, South Jersey, and beyond working through this exact stretch of planning, and I built these tools because I got tired of watching people make big decisions on incomplete information. They're not a lead magnet — there's no email gate, no follow-up sequence waiting on the other side.
I'll admit I'd love to photograph your wedding eventually. But that's not what this page is for.
No required order, no account, no pressure to move faster than you're ready to.
Pick the tool that matches the decision sitting in front of you right now.
No email, no account, no follow-up — just the number or comparison you actually needed.
Plans change. Rerun the numbers as often as you need to as your day takes shape.
Comparing venues across price points, package inclusions, and logistics is overwhelming. This tool puts them side by side so the right choice becomes clear.
Open the Venue Comparison Tool → 02 · BudgetBuild a realistic budget based on what your wedding actually needs — not generic percentages. See where your money goes and where there's room to shift priorities.
Open the Wedding Budget Calculator → 03 · Guest ListYour guest count touches everything — catering, venue size, table count, and budget. Work through the list thoughtfully and watch the downstream impact unfold.
Open the Guest List Calculator → 04 · PhotographyHow many hours do you actually need? Answer a few questions about your day and get a clear picture of the coverage that fits — so nothing important goes undocumented.
Open the Photography Coverage Calculator →It's easy to end up over budget, in a venue that doesn't quite fit, or short on the coverage that mattered most — not because you made a bad call, but because you didn't have the full picture yet.
You walk into every other decision — including choosing a photographer — with a clear head and a plan you actually trust, instead of one you're hoping holds together.
It depends far more on venue, guest count, and season than most rough percentage guides let on. The Budget Calculator above builds a number based on what your day actually needs, not a generic formula, so start there before comparing it to any outside estimate.
There's no universal right number. It's a trade-off between your priorities and your budget. The Guest List Calculator shows how each name on the list ripples into catering, venue size, and cost, so you can make the call with the full picture in front of you.
It depends on how much of the day you want documented, from getting ready through the last dance. The Photography Coverage Calculator walks through your actual timeline and gives you a number built around your day, not a standard package.
No. Every tool on this page is free to use as many times as you'd like, with no account and no email required.
