INVESTMENT
We recommend allocating 10 - 13% of your overall budget toward bringing in an event partner.
How is Pricing Determined?
We assess a flat rate project management fee for our time. We do not charge a percentage of your total expenses or mark up other services. To determine a flat fee, we take into account a number of things, including: where you are in the process, service level, location(s), guest count, and complexity of logistics. After we connect to learn about your event, we put together a custom service proposal.
We offer a 20% discount for non-profit organizations
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS...
WE HAVE ANSWERS!
How are your services different than a venue coordinator or catering manager?
Will working with a planner save us money?
It absolutely can. Hiring a planner is a front-loaded investment with long-term benefits and savings throughout the entire process. While I can't make any promises, I can confidently say that I have saved every single one of my clients money - equal to the amount of my cost of services - or more. But more importantly, I've saved them time and their peace of mind.
How do you compare to other planners in Greater Boston?
Every planner offers a unique set of experiences, skills, and values. We all have different backgrounds, approaches, and personalities as well. There is a planner out there for every budget and every style, and it's super important that you not only identify your need for a planner, but identify the right fit.
When is the right time to book?
It's never too early. For full service planning, the earlier the better. For other services, all we need to know is your date, venue, and anticipated guest count!
Do you travel?
We do! We are happy to travel for weddings and events throughout New England. Travel outside of the Northeast Region will depend on lead time and availability. All travel expenses are built into our flat rate fee.
What's required to book with you?
A signed contract and non-refundable retainer are required to reserve your date and make it official! When we issue a proposal for services, it's valid for a 2 week period, during which we will notify you if another inquiry comes in for your date and give you 48 hours before your date is released.
Are you insured?
Sure are! We carry general liability and personal property insurance.
