Event planning can get expensive, and the worst part? The hidden costs that sneak up on you! π±πΈ
Hereβs what to watch out for and how to avoid overspending.
Hidden Costs to Watch For:
π¨ Service Fees & Permits β Some venues charge additional fees for security, setup, or even electricity.
π¨ Last-Minute AV Upgrades β Need extra lighting or a bigger screen? Those costs add up fast.
π¨ Extended Vendor Hours β Overtime charges apply if your event runs longer than planned.
π¨ Post-Event Cleanup β Some venues require additional cleaning deposits.
π¨ Emergency Changes & Logistics β Unexpected guest list changes? Extra seating, catering, and adjustments will cost more.
How to Avoid These Costs:
β
Get an itemized quote upfront & review all fees.
β
Work with a full-service event planner (like us π) to anticipate these costs and negotiate better deals.
β
Book early to avoid last-minute price hikes.
