Split Your Budget the Smart Way.
Set one total and Once suggests how much to put behind the venue, catering, photography and the rest. Nudge any slice up and the picture rebalances, so you always see the whole day in one view.
Track
Know What Is Paid, and What Is Due.
Log every quote, deposit and final payment against its line item. Once keeps a running total of what you have spent and what is still to come, so there are no month-end surprises.
Benchmarks
