Built on your own paperwork, from the first contract to the last thank-you
Your wedding, read carefully and run well—without cutting what matters.
Answer five questions, then send the contracts and invoices you already have. We read what you send and give you back what nobody has put in one place: what we found you have committed across your vendors, the deadlines we found still open, your wedding day as your vendors contracted for it, and what you do not have to spend. Then the plan stays with you to the day and past it: the checklist, the budget, the guests, the seating, the words, the music, the album, the keepsake.
5 questions · No card · No vendor contact
The analysis is free. Your plan is $79. What we find never changes what you pay. You see a summary of what we found, the totals behind it, and a complete list of what your plan contains, before you decide. See our published rules.
- Your documents stay private
- Every figure traced to a document line
- The price shown before you pay
When the numbers stop making sense, random cuts are the worst place to start.
- Your total can be scattered across the documents and inboxes it arrived in, and a budget spreadsheet can drift as plans change.
- Contracts can carry dates that are easy to file and forget — and a date that passes is a day your options get smaller.
- Mandatory fees appear late, after the decision already feels made.
- Two vendors have contracted for hours that do not fit together, and neither of them is wrong.
- You worry that cutting anything will make the day feel disappointing.
The goal is not the cheapest possible wedding. It is protecting what matters while removing what does not.
How it works
Answer five questions
Where your wedding stands, what is signed, what is still open. Five questions — no card, no account, no documents yet.
Send your paperwork
Contracts, quotes, invoices, and your budget as a spreadsheet, a CSV or a screenshot. PDFs, Word documents, Excel workbooks, screenshots and phone photos of paper all work — though a photograph can only ever be checked against our own reading of it, so anything resting on one is shown to you and kept out of the figure your paperwork proves. Software reads them at our own cost, usually within 48 hours, names anything it could not read rather than skipping it quietly, and recalculates every figure from the line it came from before anyone sees it.
See what is in it, then decide
What we found, split into what your paperwork proves, what a vendor has to agree to, and what is simply your choice — three figures, never added together. Plus what your plan holds: what we found you have committed across your vendors, the deadlines we found in the order they close, and your wedding day as your vendors have contracted for it. Then you decide.
Free to upload, free to read. You see a summary of what we found before you decide, and the price is fixed before you press anything.
What every plan is, before we find anything
A billing error is not the thing to expect. What a plan gives you either way is what we found you have actually committed, across your vendors, added up once — from the documents rather than a spreadsheet.
| Vendor | Status | Committed | Paid | Where the figure comes from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Grand Oak Estate | Signed | $44,308.40 | $14,000.00 | From the total printed on the document |
| Marchetti Floral Studio | Signed | $7,400.00 | $2,200.00 | From the total printed on the document |
| Northlight Films | Signed | $6,650.00 | $1,550.00 | Added from the priced lines, because no total was printed |
| Willow & Vine Rentals | Quoted | $6,150.00 | $0.00 | From the total printed on the document |
Across 4 vendors: $58,358.40 signed and $6,150.00 quoted but not accepted. You have paid $17,750.00, leaving $40,608.40 still to pay on what you have signed.
The venue’s invoice prints $38,848.00 of charges, a $5,460.40 service charge and a $44,308.40 total over them. Adding the charges to the total would report this venue at $83,156.40 — plausible, wrong by exactly 100%, and uncheckable without redoing the work. Northlight prints no total at all, so its figure is the sum of every priced line in the agreement, the engagement session included. Each vendor is counted once.

Possible duplicate — before you sign
Illustrative example — not a customer result
Your venue package already includes 120 ceremony chairs. The rental quote you have not signed yet also includes 120 ceremony chairs.
- The Grand Oak Estate — Rental Addendum Athe quoted terms
Ceremony seating — 120 white garden chairs, included in the package price.
- Willow & Vine Rentals — Quote WV-4417 (unsigned)the quoted terms
Ceremony chairs — 120 @ $4.75 … $570.00
$570.00What the pending quote lists for that line
How the figure is reached120 chairs × $4.75 = $570.00
What to doAsk both vendors to confirm what each is providing before you sign the quote.
They may be different chairs, or the venue’s may not be available at the ceremony site. Two documents cannot tell you which — only the two vendors can, and it costs one email each to find out.
Before you sign
And when something IS wrong, this is what it looks like.
Treat a billing error as the exception rather than the promise. When there is one, we show you the line that produced the figure.
And a Concierge that reads it with you.
The plan is long, and the questions come at eleven at night when there is nobody to ask. Your Concierge is on your plan around the clock — it is given your plan and the evidence cited in it, and it answers in plain words.
- Ask what a finding actually means, and which document line it came from
- Ask which one to raise first, and what to say when you do
- Ask why one finding is money your own paperwork proves and another needs a vendor to say yes
- Ask what happens if a vendor says no, or pushes back on the wording
- Ask it anything at 11pm, the week of, without waiting on an inbox
Like the rest of the analysis, the Concierge is automated — it says so itself, and it will never claim to be a person. It is built to give you only numbers that are already in your own plan, with the document line each came from — and when you ask it something it cannot stand behind, it says so instead of guessing.
We sort what we find into groups and never add them together. Three of them are things your own paperwork proves: corrections it already contradicts, changes your signed terms already allow, and costs you have not committed to yet. Anything that needs a vendor to say yes gets its own figure and its own label — that answer is not ours to promise, so it is never folded into the one that is.
What you get, once you have seen everything.
Wedding Budget Recovery Plan
$79What we find never changes what you pay.
Your whole wedding, finally in one place
- What we found you have committed, across your vendors, added up once — what you owe, what you have paid, and what is left
- The dated deadlines we found in your contracts, in the order they close, with the one that closes next at the top
- The payments we found in your documents, in the order they fall — so you can see the months where several land at once
- Your wedding day as your vendors have contracted for it, side by side — and anywhere two of them do not fit together
Everything that can still change
- Each finding as its own line item, with the arithmetic that produced it and the quoted evidence from your own documents
- Costs that have not left your account yet — quotes unsigned, upgrades unaccepted, quantities nobody has checked against your floor plan
- Your own wedding itemised, each line scored for how visible it would be to a guest, so you can stop wherever it stops feeling worth it
- Anything that needs vendor approval, marked apart from what your terms already allow
- Guest-visibility and emotional-priority ranking, so you choose what to protect
What your contracts oblige, in both directions
- What your contracts say happens IF something changes: cancellation, a moved date, a night that runs long — each quoted from the clause that permits it
- What your vendors need FROM you — the insurance certificate, the meal, the final confirmation — the clause nobody reads until a band cannot plug in
- The things that carry no dollar figure and still matter: a cancellation window about to close, a number in your budget your contracts disagree with
And what to do with all of it
- Copy-ready wording for each message — you send them, we never contact a vendor
- A Concierge on your plan around the clock — ask it anything about your own findings and the documents behind them, in your own words
- A downloadable copy of the whole plan, yours to keep
- The honest limits: every document we could not read, and every category you told us about that no paperwork reached us for — named, not quietly left out
Until the wedding, and after
- Add a document as things change, right up to the wedding — we read it with the rest, store a new version of your plan, and email you what changed
- A reminder before each dated deadline and each payment in your plan, and a calendar feed to subscribe to
- A printable sheet per vendor, the questions to ask before you sign a quote, and a page for the final invoices after the wedding
- Share the plan with a partner, a parent or a planner — a private link of their own, and you can remove anyone at any time
- Mark each vendor message sent, replied or settled; when a reply is slow, we email you the follow-up wording
- A "what if" that multiplies the per-hour and per-guest figures your own contracts print by a count you choose
And the planning itself
- A planning checklist dated off your wedding date, with the booking steps your contracts already cover marked as covered
- Your budget against what your contracts commit, per vendor and per category, with the subtraction done for you
- A vendor directory built from the vendors in your plan, with the category, contact and notes you keep on each
- A day-of run sheet: the windows your vendors are contracted for beside the moments you add, ready to print for whoever runs the day
- A guest list with replies and meals, summed against the number you are planning for and the date your contracts say the final count is due, with a spreadsheet export
- Wording for the ordinary vendor messages beyond the findings — confirming a time, asking for the insurance certificate, giving the final count, requesting the itemised invoice — with the blanks filled from your plan
- What to ask before you book, by category, and a Monday email with the checklist steps in their window, the dates that fall this week, and the vendors still quiet
And the day itself, and what comes after
- A page for your guests with its own link — the date, the place, the schedule, the practical details — and a reply form that fills your guest list by name
- Seating: tables with seats, parties placed from your guest list, and the escort list and place cards to print
- Sunset and the golden hour at your venue on your date, set beside the hours your photographer is contracted for
- A place to write vows and toasts, with a shape to write to and the time each takes to say; the people giving toasts get a draft of their own
- The playlist — must-play, do-not-play, a song per moment — added up against the hours of music you booked, as a sheet for the DJ or band
- Letters to your future selves sealed until the first anniversary, and notes from guests read the morning after; an album your guests fill from your guest page; gifts and thank-yous tracked; a delivery watch for the gallery and the film; and a keepsake of the whole day, to print or download
- We do not sell your documents or share them with your vendors. If that ever changes we will say so here first, and it will not apply to anything you have already sent unless you agree to it.
- They are not used to train models.
- Raw uploads are deleted 90 days after your plan is delivered — or immediately, whenever you ask.
- Names, addresses, signatures and account numbers inside your documents are treated as sensitive data.

Questions people actually ask
How can the analysis be free?
Because we would rather carry the cost of reading your documents than ask you to pay for something you have not seen. You upload, we read, and we show you a summary of what we found, the totals behind it, and a complete list of what your plan contains. The plan is $79 — one price, whatever we find — and you decide after seeing that. There is no money-back guarantee, and no purchase you could make without first seeing the summary and the list.
Your vendors pay us nothing. We take no commission, no referral fee and no kickback from anyone in the wedding industry, and no vendor can pay to appear in — or stay out of — your plan. What you pay for the plan is the only money we make, and it comes from you, after you have seen what we found.
What does the $79 unlock?
You have already seen the total and the categories. The plan is the work behind them: each opportunity as its own line item with the arithmetic that produced it, the quoted evidence from your documents with the page it sits on, and copy-ready wording for every message you send — sorted by what it is worth and how visible it would be to guests.
One time. Nothing recurring. What we find never changes what you pay. A bigger finding does not mean a bigger bill, and you see the figure before you press anything.
Which findings are the ones my own paperwork proves?
Every counted amount has to be linked to a line in a document you sent us, and the same dollars are never counted twice. The low end of any range is what counts. Payment-timing changes never count, because moving when you pay is not paying less. Money already paid and non-refundable does not count simply because you regret it.
Does vendor approval count?
No. Anything that depends on a vendor voluntarily agreeing gets its own figure with its own label, and is never folded into the one your own documents prove. Three different claims about who has to do what, and one number cannot carry three.
It still appears in your plan, in its own subtotal, labelled "Possible — requires vendor approval" — these can be the largest opportunities on the table. We simply will not count one toward our own bar when the decision belongs to someone else.
What if everything is already signed, or already paid?
Signed contracts are still worth reading: billing errors, invoices that do not match the quote, fees applied to the wrong base, credits promised but never applied, and deadlines — final headcount is the usual one — still open and still worth money.
Money already out the door is a different matter — it is rarely adjustable, so a wedding that is largely paid for has less money left to find. The rest of the plan does not depend on that: what we found you have committed across your vendors, the deadlines we found still open in your contracts, and your wedding day as your vendors have contracted for it are all there either way, and are worth having whatever the figures come to.
What if you do not find anything?
Then nothing is owed until you say so. The reading is free either way, and the choice comes after it: we show you a summary of what we found and a complete list of what your plan would contain, and only then do you decide whether it is worth having. Say no and you have spent nothing — there is no card to enter to find out and nothing to cancel.
It is worth saying plainly that a billing error is not the thing to expect. Finding one is the best outcome, not the thing to plan on. What a plan assembles is the part nobody has put in one place: what we found you have committed across your vendors added up once, the deadlines we found still open in the order they close, the payments your documents show as due, what your contracts charge if something changes, and what your vendors are waiting on from you. We do not claim to find everything — we publish what we measured ourselves finding, and it is a minority of what is there.
If having those in one place is not worth it to you, you close the page having spent nothing.
How is my private information handled?
We do not sell your documents, share them with your vendors, or use them to train models. If any of that changes we will say so here before it applies, and it will not cover anything you have already sent unless you agree. Names, signatures and account numbers inside them are treated as sensitive, and your budget, vendor names and findings never reach an advertising or analytics platform.
Raw uploads are deleted 90 days after your plan is delivered, or immediately if you ask. Stripe handles card details, and only if you decide to pay — we never see or store a card number.
Find out what can still change. Looking costs you nothing.
Free to upload, free to read. You see a summary of what we found before you decide, and the price is fixed before you press anything.
