You're not behind. Nobody tells you the order.
The quote is never the price
Service charges, admin and staffing fees, minimums and tax can turn a $9,000 catering quote into $15,000. The tracker flags every one before you sign.
The guest list decides the budget
Every extra person is a plate, a chair and a drink. A/B/C lists make cutting numbers a decision, not a fight.
Everything in one place
No more quotes in your texts, vendors in your inbox and a budget in your head. One plan, one sheet, in order.

Questions
Is anything shipped?
No, it's a digital download. You'll get the e-book (PDF) and the tracker (.xlsx) straight after checkout, and the links are emailed to you too.
Does the tracker work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets, or use it in Excel on Windows or Mac.
I'm not in the US. Will it work for me?
Yes. Guest lists, contracts, timelines and family politics are universal. Typical costs in the book are US ranges, and the tracker's currency changes in a couple of clicks (Format, Number, Currency).
When should I start?
Any time, but the first 30 days chapter is written for the week you get engaged. If your date is close, the compressed timeline covers planning in six months or less.
