CUSTOM EVENT PRICING

I am a custom event planner that does it all, from weddings to corporate events!  I even have an event venue on my 15 acre farm at HollyDay Farms, in Monroe, NC!  I’ve been planning events for 15 years and I recently won Best Event Planner and Best Wedding Planner in 2021 by the Charlotte Weeklies, so you’re in great hands!

Here’s what to expect...

1. We have a 30 minute phone conversation to discuss your vision and see if the date is available. We also discuss the budget. Currently, for events off of my property, we are only taking clients whose budget is around $10,000 or more. This is negotiable depending on the budget and event.

2. You can, however, hire me to create a design plan, an estimated budget for you, and a Pinterest board for inspiration for a Consultation Fee of $200.  The fee must be paid before the plan/budget/board are created. 

3. If you’d like to move forward with booking my services and reserving your date, I will email you an invoice and you pay your $500 non-refundable deposit. Unfortunately no planning can take place until the deposit is received. You’ll also sign a contract that will protect both of us before we can proceed.

4. My fee is 20% of the purchasing budget. So if your total budget is $10,000, we’d spend $8,334 on vendors and supplies and I’d get $1,666 for my full services. At the end of this document, you will see an example of a backyard party I did recently.  It was an upscale backyard dinner party for 30 guests.  It will give you an idea of where the cost goes.

5. Once the deposit is received I create the budget and a Pinterest board and we prioritize your wishlist. 

6. Then I take it from there.  I interview, visit and book all the vendors and rentals. I shop for or create all the custom decor. I design the custom printables. I pack all the decor and arrive at your venue the day of your event. My assistants and I set up the party. I MC the party, handle the flow of the night and deal with the vendors.  My assistants keep the party clean and we take photos during the party for your enjoyment.  If the event goes past 10pm, we come back the next day to clean up the party. This way you get to relax and enjoy your event as late as you’d like.  After the party, I will send your final invoice and the photos we took at the event. I usually spend 40-60 hours planning and executing your custom event. 

7. Payments:  Depending on the budget, I usually book all the vendors and purchase all the supplies and then I invoice you periodically for reimbursement.  That way you only have to pay a couple of times versus each time I get a receipt.  A few days after the event, when all receipts have been submitted, I will send you the final invoice which includes the remainder of the reimbursements and my fee.  By paying the deposit, you agree to pay for all reimbursements, vendors and my fee within 14 days of receipt.

If you could please email us back with the following information:

1. What date and time will the event be held?

2. Do you have a location in mind?  If so, where?

3. How many people will be attending?

4. What is your total budget?

5. Do you have a theme in mind?  If not, tell us about the guest of honor. 

I hope this information helps you understand more of what my team can do for you. And I look forward to working with you!
