Below are some frequently asked questions. If you do not see the answer you are looking for, please feel free to contact us. We are here to assist.
Yes, we have a minimum budget. To produce the magnitude of designs and events you see on our page, we require a minimum budget requirement of $80k for weddings and $20K for social events. Our wedding couples typically budget and spend an average of $800-$1000 per guest. For ex., a guest count of 100 would require a budget of $80K - $100k.
Do you have a minimum budget requirement and how much should I budget for my event?
We charge a retainer of $3500 to lock in your date plus a percentage of our clients overall budget of the event elements we manage. So rest assured, we’re not getting a percentage off your $15k Ese Azenabor custom wedding gown! Or the fees for your penthouse getting ready suite that we book for you. Your total planning fee is split into 4 equal payments.
How much is your wedding planning fee and what is your payment process?
We charge a percentage so that we can be fairly compensated based on the scope of our couples event. It also prevents us from coming back to ask for more money when their guest count increases and we need more staff to manage the guests or we suddenly find out we need to grade the ground to install a tent for an outdoor wedding. Having over a decade of experience in the industry, we have experienced changes in clients event scopes. Our couples who understand this pricing structure know that percentage pricing is fair. If they spend more because the scope of their event increases, we are compensated more and if the scope of their event decreases and requires a decrease in budget, then our percentage fee decreases.
Why do you charge a percentage based fee and not a flat fee?
