Event Planning Pricing — Starting at $1,500

Most projects are priced as a custom flat fee aligned to your program needs, guest count, and complexity—or occasionally as a budget-based percentage when appropriate.
We’ll tailor your proposal to your event’s unique goals, guest count, and production level.
This keeps pricing transparent while ensuring your planning support scales to your needs.
During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, itemized proposal for your review.
