Hey everyone,

I'm a solo builder and I kept seeing people
online completely overwhelmed by wedding
budgets — hidden costs they didn't expect,
vendors overcharging, no idea where to start.

So I built EventNinja.ai

You put in your event type, budget, guest
count and location. It generates a full
personalised budget breakdown and flags
hidden costs specific to your event.

The bit I'm most proud of is the vendor
negotiation email — it writes a ready to
send email for you based on your actual
event details.

launched 2 weeks ago and trying to see if
this is actually useful for real couples.

Would you use something like this when
planning your wedding?

What would make it actually worth paying for?

Open to honest feedback.

I built a small SaaS recently and honestly the building part was the easy bit.
You can sit down, work on it, improve things — at least you feel in control.
But getting people to actually care about it is a completely different story.

Feels like half the work now is just figuring out where people are and how to even talk about what you built without it sounding like an ad.
Some people get it straight away, others just don’t see the point at all.

Still trying to figure that part out.
How are you guys getting your first users?

Hey everyone! After spending hours trying to figure out how to split our wedding budget, I realised most calculators online are either US-based or completely unrealistic for the UK.

I kept asking myself:
How much should we ACTUALLY spend on venue, catering, photography, etc. in the UK?

So I ended up building a simple tool for myself that:
- Breaks down a realistic budget based on UK pricing
- Adjusts based on location (London, Manchester, etc.)
- Highlights hidden costs couples often forget

Would love some honest feedback — does this actually match your experience planning in the UK?

What were your biggest unexpected costs?
