Frequently Asked Questions About Event Planning
People frequently arrive to the initial meeting with questions about timelines, services. Below are direct answers to the things people ask us about event planning:
What does event planning usually cost?Event planning fees vary widely based on event size, type, and complexity. Intimate gatherings can begin in the low thousands, while major productions may require budgets into the tens of thousands. Our team offers transparent pricing during our first meeting so there are never hidden fees throughout the process.
What's the difference between a full-service planner and a day-of coordinator?A end-to-end event planner is involved from start to finish — budget, vendors, design — starting months in advance. A day-of coordinator gets involved nearer to the event in order to manage an already-planned event. The right choice depends on your situation — our team can discuss which option fits your needs.
How far in advance should I book an event planner?Starting earlier the better. For weddings and galas, industry standards suggest booking at least 9–12 months in advance. Smaller events can usually come together in a few months, and lead time always helps. In busy periods, the best vendors book fast, so getting the conversation started is always recommended.
