FAQs
- Is $50,000 enough for a wedding?
$50,000 can work when guest count, venue, food and extras are chosen around that number from the start. It is not a vendor quote. - What should I do after the first budget draft?
Replace category estimates with real vendor quotes, then track deposits and due dates in the vendor manager. - Can I import a spreadsheet?
Yes. Export or import CSV categories so you can move between Weddenly and a spreadsheet without retyping everything.
