How it works
Four steps to a booked wedding
Step 1: Set your date
One date sets everything else: your checklist counts backwards from it, and the directory only shows vendors you can still book.
Step 2: Shortlist vendors
Filter by city, category and price, save the ones you like to a board, and compare them side by side on the numbers that matter.
Step 3: Ask for real prices
Send one brief to your whole shortlist. Quotes come back in writing, in your own currency, and land in one thread per vendor.
Step 4: Share the day
Publish a free wedding website, collect RSVPs and meals on one link, and seat the room from the replies as they arrive.

What it costs
Wedding costs in the United Kingdom, line by line
Hitched's 2026 survey of 2,020 newlyweds put the average UK wedding at GBP 21,990 across all sizes, or GBP 272 a guest, with its 101+ guest band averaging GBP 35,591. Bridebook's 7,000-couple report put the wedding day at GBP 20,604 on about 74 guests. Neither measures a clean 100-guest wedding, so the range below is scaled from both — before VAT.

Questions couples ask
Answers are British national ranges. City-level numbers, and guides for Australia, the United States, New Zealand and India, live in the cost guides.
How much does the average UK wedding cost?
Hitched's 2026 survey put it at GBP 21,990 across all wedding sizes, with weddings of 101+ guests averaging GBP 35,591. For a 100-guest wedding most couples land between GBP 19,000 and GBP 42,000 before VAT.
Why do UK wedding quotes end up higher than expected?
VAT is quoted inconsistently. A GBP 95 per head catering quote for 100 guests reads as GBP 9,500 and invoices at GBP 11,400 once 20% VAT is added — and many venues then apply a 10-15% service charge to the post-VAT total. Assume every quote is exclusive until told otherwise.
Which UK region is cheapest to marry in?
The North West. Bridebook puts it at GBP 17,342 across all wedding sizes, roughly 16% below the UK average. London and Scotland sit at the top, with Scotland recording the highest per-guest spend in the country.
