Budget

Spend with a clear view of where you'll land.

Most wedding budgets are a spreadsheet that stopped being true in month three. The Navigator tracks the real ledger — every deposit, balance, and best guess — and keeps the projection honest as quotes firm up.

The ledger

Every payment as a line you can actually reconcile.

Each entry carries the detail you'll want six months later, when someone asks whether the florist deposit already went out.

  • Date, vendor, item, and amount on every line
  • Paid or due, with a one-click toggle as payments clear
  • Who paid and how — card, Venmo, Zelle, cash, or check
  • Notes for the context that never fits in a spreadsheet cell
  • Deposits and balances can arrive automatically from your vendor records

Estimates vs. confirmed

Honest projections before the quotes are final.

Early numbers are guesses, and pretending otherwise is how budgets break. Mark a line as an estimate and it's counted in your projection while staying visibly provisional.

  • Estimate flag on any line, shown distinctly in the ledger
  • Estimates roll into the projected total without masquerading as confirmed spend
  • Swap an estimate for the real number the moment the contract lands

Live totals

Five numbers that tell you the whole story.

The summary recalculates as you go, so the answer to "where are we?" is always one glance away.

  • Projected total — confirmed plus estimated
  • Confirmed and estimated, held apart
  • Paid to date, and outstanding still to come
  • A "who paid for what" breakdown across both families and any contributor

Sharing it

Filter it down, then hand it over.

Filter by vendor, paid status, or estimate status, search across the ledger, and export exactly what you're looking at.

  • Filters for vendor, paid/unpaid, and confirmed/estimate
  • Search across vendors, items, notes, and who paid
  • CSV export for your partner, your parents, or your planner
