Frequently Asked Questions
How do event planners charge for their services?
Three common models: flat fee per event, 10–20% of total event budget, or hourly ($50–150). Full-service wedding planning typically runs 10–15% of budget or a $3,000–10,000+ flat fee.
What should a planning fee actually cover?
Count every hour: consultations, vendor sourcing, site visits, contract review, timeline production, and day-of coordination with staff. A "one-day" event usually consumes 60–150 planning hours.
Should I mark up vendor services?
Either charge clients a transparent planning fee and pass vendor costs through, or mark up vendors 10–20% — but disclose the model. Mixed hidden markups destroy trust and referrals when discovered.
