Some couples want sixty people in a garden. Some want two hundred in a ballroom. This planner works for both, and it tells you what each would cost before you commit.
Sage & Stone is a wedding planner workbook with 38 tabs that talk to each other. Add a guest once and they show up in your headcount, your seating chart, your meal totals and your dashboard. Book a vendor and their quote lands in your budget. Type a guest count into Cost Scenarios and the planner shows the total, the cost per guest and whether you are inside your budget.
Works in Excel and Google Sheets
Opens in Microsoft Excel (2016 or newer, Windows or Mac, Microsoft 365) and in Google Sheets. Plan on a laptop, update from your phone, share with your partner or planner.
