How to Charge for Your Event Planning Services

[@krystalb6700]

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.

[@realmamamo]

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

[@shareesepm1484]

This is how I will do it

[@Juniperberrie25]

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?

[@lajanicwoods4292]

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

[@NoName-zb1gm]

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

[@vanitycosmeticslipwear2069]

I charge flat fees for event packages and hourly rates for on site coordination

[@EventPlanning]

Hi Allicia, this is a great way to charge. Thanks for sharing how you do it!

[@zubyfit4028]

[@mrsbrookeallen]

Allicia W how do you do that?

[@ashleysw11]

May I ask what is a good flat rate for a grad party for someone just starting out in atlanta?

[@Frmcecewitluv]

Hello, can you explain this please? I’m new to event designing/coordinating and I’m trying to find a great price point to start.

[@athinabastien6901]

SO great, I was really wondering and doubting on how to charge my clients, and this makes it sooooo clear, thank you SO much!!

[@ba8501]

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

[@gwendolynpearson6993]

Love event planning have done some events but love your teaching very eady to understand keep up the amazing teaching thankyou

[@GingerRootsMedia]

The event planner I work with will do a flat fee and then will add on percentages for things like recruiting sponsors or dealing with vendors.

[@lilburgosmb]

always been hired as the styler and designer for a wedding event but now new to the planning from start to end. I am looking to charge a flat fee for all my services. What's an average amount to charge for all the work you put into finding the perfect vendors for the bride.

[@marcymiles9921]

Thank you so much! Now it’s more clear for me how to charge. You explained it very well.

[@comfortbamiro6077]

Thank you so much... This is so insightful 👏

[@thomaschinyere8372]

Thank you so much for the idea,it really helpful.

[@Angel646307]

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]

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!

[@deberry87]

Hi thank you for your help. What do you think is a good fee for the flat fee for someone just starting out?

[@anniedasal8498]

[@NoName-zb1gm]

I want to have a golf event. The course wants a $5000 deposit. How do I get the money when this is my first event so I don't have that amount of money?

[@edgarcaceres6824]

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]

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'.

[@edgarcaceres6824]

Event Planning thank you! And I love your channel, very helpful. Hope you have new content coming up

[@TheTomeksza]

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

[@atlpeach7186]

Hallo how are u can we introduce each other

[@asandabekhumuzi7424]

I mainly want to do birthday parties. I'm in a suburban area. I want to do these events in my yard. I already a quality soundsystem and an outdoor stretch tent and tables and chairs to go along with it and lighting. What would be the best method to approaching the marketing for this kind of business set up. The thing is I don't have money to purchase other props and decorative things like balloons and such. So that stopping me from making a marketing ad that I know can bring in customer's for me. Please any advice would do

[@keeponpushing4346]

When the client pays deposit, use a portion to purchase items needed. Hope this helps.

[@bisiegbeyemi9313]

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

[@EventPlanning]

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

[@NerniePerezLeanirniPerez]

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!
