Context you provide

- {{budget_limits}}: Total budget or spending limits for major categories.
- {{expense_categories}}: Venue, catering, entertainment, marketing, staffing, and other relevant costs.
- {{preferred_format}}: Whether you want a spreadsheet-style breakdown, a simple table, or a detailed report.
Instructions
- If any context is missing, ask for it before starting.

- Create a detailed budget plan with line items, estimated costs, and a total. Include a contingency fund (usually 10–15% of total).
