How the estimate works
The calculator multiplies a base cost per guest by your choices of venue, functions and decor. It then
shows a range around that figure, because real quotes vary.
A guide, not a quote
It is a planning tool built on illustrative assumptions. It is not a price list for any venue.
Range, not a single number
You see a low and high figure so you can plan with room to move when menus and designs change.
Confirmed in writing
Dreamstrokes quotes name your dates, guest count, meals, decor and exclusions so you can compare like with like.
Where the money usually goes
These shares are illustrative and shift with your venue, guest count and design. The calculator above applies them to your own estimate.

Ways to spend smarter
Compare like with like
Ask each vendor to quote the same dates, guests and inclusions.
Pick a weekday
Venues often charge less for Thursday and Friday dates than for weekends.
Host lunch, not dinner
Daytime events are cheaper to run and suit outdoor venues without heavy lighting.
Combine functions
A joint haldi and mehendi saves a full set of decor, catering and staffing.
Set the guest list early
Every extra guest adds food, seating and décor cost, so settle the number before you book.
Choose seasonal flowers
Marigold, jasmine and chrysanthemum cost far less than imported blooms and photograph beautifully.

What is not included in the estimate?
Planning fees, guest transfers, hosted guest rooms and GST are not included. Ask every vendor for a written quote that lists dates, guest numbers, meals, decor and exclusions.

How can I reduce my wedding cost without losing quality?
Choose a weekday date, combine haldi and mehendi, host a lunch instead of a dinner, use seasonal Indian flowers and settle the guest list early. Compare quotes that cover the same scope.
