Event Pricing

This has always been an interesting topic of discussion. In fact almost every phone call I answer starts with; "How Much Do You Charge?", to which I reply something like; "for what?"

It's kind of like calling the painter and asking how much is it to paint your house.

In order to give an accurate fair market price to you, many questions need to be answered first. Is it the whole house, is it inside or outside, is it all of the rooms, or a single room, how big is the room or rooms. How much trim work will be invovled, what colors do you want, what type paint will be required. So you see it's not a simple cut and dried answer. If you want a "REAL PRICE QUOTE" details of the job are required.

It's the same thing with what I do. I supply you a day and block off time from my calendar where I'll use my resources and talents to provide services to enhance your event. What I will charge you for this day and block of time to provide those services depends on many variables.

First, the type of event dictates a certain amount of time and effort for successful execution.

Some events require more on site time and effort while others may require more preparation time before ever arriving at the event site. Other events may be complex and require a great deal of preparation before the event as well a very detailed setup on site.

While all events have certain elements in common, it's the attention to the individual details that makes each event different in its preparation, execution and pricing.

Next thing to consider is the Venue, the facility where your event will take place.

Where you hold your event affects things like transportation costs, like time spent traveling, mileage, the amount of fuel used. The size and layout of the venue determines the amount of, and types of equipment needed as well as if additonal personel will be required to ensure that loadin, setup and teardown and loadout are safe, secure and on time.

Something that goes with the venue is whether the event is inside or outside or both. Plus outside events bring a certain amount of weather related risk.

The number of people, and age range that will be attending your event.

The number people affect the type and amount of equipment required. The bigger the group the more sound is needed. The number of people and age range plays a part into how much music and what types to bring in addition to your own preferences as I'm sure you want to keep everybody happy with their music.

So as you can see, like the painter, in order for me to give you an accurate fair market price quote, we really need to talk to be sure we are both on the same page and have a clear understanding of expectations. I want to do it right, not cheap and sloppy.
