📍 A note on regional variation: These numbers are built with California in mind, where minimum wage is higher, groom tickets run $85-$120+, and labor law (overtime, sick leave, meal breaks) adds real cost. If you’re in a lower cost-of-living state, typical hourly rates run $13-$16/hr and average tickets may be closer to $55-$75. Adjust the inputs to match your market.
