Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a fee for using SCOUT?
No - SCOUT is completely free to use! We will never ask you for payment information.

What cities are featured on SCOUT?
For now, we only feature venues in and around Austin, Texas. Don't worry - we have big plans to expand to other cities soon!

Where do the budget numbers come from?
All budget numbers are sourced directly from venues, vendors, and local wedding planners. In some instances, such as catering budgets, we gathered proposals from three caterers on the venue's catering list and present an average of those three proposals.

What wedding costs are not included in SCOUT system?
We are here to help you with the first question after engagement -- when and where. We only present numbers that are impacted by venue decision. SCOUT does not calculate budgets for design, stationery, or your dress. You should also consider the cost of hiring a photographer, band/DJ, wedding planner, etc,
