Planning fees

A clear fee. A defined scope.

Our planning fee is 10–15% of your approved vendor budget, added on top of it — never taken out of it. Your proposal confirms the exact rate and what's included before work begins.

Vendor budget

Venues, lodging, food, AV, activities and transportation — as approved by you.

+ Planning fee

10–15% of that vendor budget, confirmed in your proposal.

= Your total

e.g. $18,000 + $1,800–$2,700 = $19,800–$20,700.
