How the numbers work

Defaults are Lagos mid-tier from PriceRadar's vendor-interview ranges (catering ₦8k-₦20k/head; mid-range venue ₦3M-₦6M; mid-range photo+video ₦1.2M-₦2.5M). City multipliers (Lagos 1.00, Abuja 0.92, PH 0.82, etc.) and tier multipliers (modest 0.55×, luxe 2.10×) scale each line.

Expect actual quotes to land within ±20% of these defaults. Always get 3 quotes per category — NG wedding vendors price-discriminate heavily, and an introduction often shaves 10-30%.
