How much could your total wedding cost be if you got married at Rule of Thirds?
When you factor in everything — from venue fees to vendor costs — Tulle Together’s Cost Forecast Tool projects that the total budget of wedding at Rule of Thirds could land around $75,000 depending on your guest count (this estimates a 100 person guest count on a winter Saturday if you forgo a traditional wedding planner), design scope, and other vendor selections. This estimate factors in a range of typical wedding expenses beyond the venue & catering itself, helping couples get a realistic view of what their wedding might actually cost before making any commitments. Of course, someone could spend more or less than this (especially if you go with more guests and choose peak pricing) – but it’s an average estimate for what that total wedding cost could look like.
The Cost Forecast Tool is just one of Tulle Together’s budgeting resources.
