UNDERSTANDING COSTS
What will your event cost? The truth is, we don’t know. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you the price of an event that we have not planned yet. The truth is, your event will cost as much as you’d like it to, and as much as it needs to in order to do the work the way we need to. The weddings and events you see and love here begin at $2,500 per person, and average roughly between $3,000 - $5,000 per person. Some events, of course, exceed this range, based on the overall design of the event.
Out of your budget? NOT TO WORRY MY FRIEND! We understand that weddings and events are generally expensive. We have a team dedicated to smaller budgets, therefore giving you free range that we have the ability to work with you based on the needs of your event. Your budget will be driven by location, production, floral design, and audiovisual needs. Your food and beverage minimums and rentals will be factored in, as well as our fee. This is an inclusive estimate which will cover all of the costs associated with the production of your event experience.
Ultimately, however, we are not driven by numbers. Ultimately, it isn’t about the “stuff” - It is about how the stuff makes you feel.
All of our designs are curated to tell a story tailored specifically to your past and style. Pricing is impacted by the location, the number of guests, your menu selections, entertainment, design, decor, etc.
With such a broad range, where do we begin? Some of our clients want the freedom to dream and explore. We work together to design an experience, and then price the work based on the overall dream. Other clients come to us with a specific budget in mind. In that case, we will design to that level, always including special little touches that set the day apart from the rest, but respecting the overall boundaries of the investment.
Once we are engaged, we will provide three budget projections to help you understand the way in which your money can be allocated. This gives us the opportunity to discuss the business side of things before we begin making decisions. You have the opportunity to ask questions so that you can truly understand where your money goes and just how much it buys. We will spend what it takes to create the experience you want, but never more than is necessary.
Producing a wedding or event is a major investment. We will look after your budget as if it were our own.
PLANNING COSTS
Our team works with a limited number of clients each year, and we personally design and manage each one. Our connection - yours and ours - is absolute and the foundation of all the work we will be doing together. Tastings, meetings, demos, and more we will do together as needed. Onsite at the time of your event, we will be at the helm of a full staff including coordinators, taskmasters, and representatives from all creative partners. But ultimately - it’s you and us. We are in this together.
Pricing is customized based on the scope of work that needs to be done and includes an engagement fee, a design fee, and a production management fee ranging from 15%-20%. This fee is applied to the overall cost of the event. Travel expenses, administrative fees, and minimums may apply and will be disclosed for your approval in advance.
DISCUSSING MONEY
We believe that you make your best decisions when you have all of the information. Let’s have a direct conversation about your financial investment. We’ll assess what you need, develop an overall budget, and provide you with a custom quote. And remember, we’re just talking.
