Question 12

How much does event planning cost?

Accepted Answer

Event planning costs vary depending on the size, scope, and complexity of your event. Corporate event planning, brand activations, luxury social events, and destination experiences each require different levels of logistics, vendor coordination, and creative direction. At ERIA Events, pricing is tailored to your specific needs, whether you require full-service event planning, partial planning support, or day-of coordination. Our packages are designed to ensure seamless execution, elevated design, and a stress-free client experience.

Question 13

What factors affect event planner pricing?

Accepted Answer

Several elements influence event planning fees, including guest count, venue requirements, event location (local vs. destination), vendor management and production needs, custom design and styling elements, timeline and complexity, and on-site staffing requirements. Large-scale corporate events and multi-day destination events typically require more comprehensive planning and coordination, which impacts overall investment.

Question 14

Do you offer full-service event planning packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in full-service event planning and production. This includes concept development, venue sourcing, vendor curation, contract negotiation, design direction, logistics management, timeline creation, and on-site execution.

Question 15

Is there a minimum budget required to work with ERIA Events?

Accepted Answer

We work with clients who value thoughtful design, strategic planning, and flawless execution. While budgets vary, we typically partner with clients whose event budgets align with luxury or high-production experiences. If you're unsure whether we're the right fit, we're happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your vision and investment range.

Question 16

Do you charge a flat fee or a percentage of the event budget?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing structure depends on the scope of services required. Some events are best suited for a flat planning fee, while others, particularly large-scale productions, may follow a percentage-based structure. During your consultation, we'll recommend the structure that best aligns with your event goals and level of support needed.

Question 17

Do you plan destination events?

Yes. We provide destination event planning services for clients hosting outside their primary city. Destination planning includes travel logistics, remote vendor coordination, venue scouting, and on-site production oversight. Destination events often require extended timelines and additional logistical planning, which is reflected in customized pricing.

Question 18

When should I book an event planner?

Accepted Answer

For corporate events and large-scale productions, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance. Luxury social events and destination events may require additional lead time depending on venue availability and vendor demand. Early booking ensures better vendor selection, stronger negotiation leverage, and a smoother planning experience.

Question 19

Why invest in professional event planning?

Hiring a professional event planner saves time, reduces risk, and ensures every detail is executed with precision.
