    Oh wow. I charge totally different from all of these. I act like I’m the general contractor for the entire event- the client receives one invoice from me for everything (catering, bar, staff, etc). I build in about 50% upcharge to every item on the clients’ invoice.
    That 50% is my profit. When the client pays me, I pay all the vendors. This is in NYC.

      I told my mom to charge for her services this way as well, that way it’s not so much confusion and everyone gets paid

      Hi there, how to charge for the pre work you do? So for example, you get the costs for bar staff, catering etc - how do you charge for the time it took you to do all of that, plus any meetings etc? Or is that included in the 50% up charge?

      Do you include labor ? And if so what does that look like for you? Hourly , flat rate?

      That's my plan for my golf event. Markup the golf course fee per player by 50% and charge people that price.

    Yes, I like the flat fee option too. I will also take 50% upfront and 50% at a date before the date

    Hello! My friend and I are in the works of starting an event planning business but for cannabis events. We watch your channel and are always inspired by them!
    We’d like to know what advice you’d give us as we begin our business venture!
    Also, do you know of any permits/licenses we would need to file for, since we’d like to do it for cannabis?

    I would like to know what is the most common practice when you contract an event on flat free. Event Planner provide the vendors and responsible for paying the service fee? Therefore event planner must receive down payment at the time of signing the event order service contract.Correct?

    • @EventPlanning
      @EventPlanning  7 років тому +3

      Hi, we recommend you have the client pay the vendor directly. You should never pay a vendor before receiving funds first from your client. As far as receiving deposits from your clients - we recommend 30 - 50% at the time of signing the agreement and the remainder 2 weeks prior to the event. Hope that helps!

  • @TheTomeksza
    @TheTomeksza 4 роки тому

    I have question about hourly rate . Like u say the day of Event u work maybe 12 h , but to get this event ready is take you week or two of work . How you charge for that ? How clients will know how long time you actually work to put all this thinks u need for event together?
    When clients come I cant arledy know how long time will exactly take me to plan everything.
    Also if we talk about all this prices is only money that WE as a company want to make right ? So we need say this price + the money that we think we will need to have for rent place and buy all stuff we will need for this event, right ?
    Thank you

    Do you charge rental fee for the materials used for the event. Like table covers, chair covers depending on the event requirements.

    • @EventPlanning
      @EventPlanning  2 роки тому +1

      If it's your materials, then yes. If you're renting it from a vendor, typically you pass the cost onto the client.

    When charging a percentage of the cost of the event, do we take in consideration things such as cost of the venue and vendors like food and beverage, sound and lighting, etc? and if not, what things do we include in this amount?

    • @EventPlanning
      @EventPlanning  7 років тому +4

      Hi Edgar, great question! If you help coordinate the vendors like food, beverage, sound and lighting then yes that absolutely goes toward the 'cost of the event'.

    Lol! They will attract you for a $7 course and after that, not evenafter a month, they will debit $47 from ur account without your permission. It wasnt even mentioned that it was actually a subscription. The info i know is only to buy that certain course for $7. Which i understood because that is only initial part... but didnt inform you about the $47 that they will debit after a week... damn!
