FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The cost of hiring an Event Planner varies but a rule of thumb is what I go by: 10% of the total wedding or event cost. For example if the budget for an event is $10,000 my fee would be $1000. If the event ends up costing $100,000 my fee would be $10,000. This is a standard amount for all the work that is put into producing an event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been taking courses to update my computer skills in organizing conferences and corporate meetings with specially designed software for registration and activity roster for the meeting. I also keep up with the latest trends in all things weddings and event planning.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started helping my mom with church events in planning and decorating for them when I was a child. From showers and parties to weddings and banquets, we were asked to create the whole event or at least decorate for them. This began a life long love affair with event planning for me!
