How it works

Why this tool exists. Wedding drinks are the single easiest thing to under- or over-order. This planner uses standard UK per-guest figures for each service (reception, dinner, toast, evening) and only counts the services you're actually running.

How to use it. Enter guest numbers and reception length, tick the services being served, and adjust prices to your supplier's quote. The right-hand shopping list updates instantly and can be printed or copied.
