What event planners cost
Professional planners in your city typically offer three service levels: month-of/event management (commonly $1,500–3,500), partial planning ($2,500–6,000), and full planning ($4,000–12,000+), with hourly consulting at $50–150. Corporate work is often quoted as day rates ($500–1,500) or a percentage of event budget (10–15% with minimums).
Event Planners: common questions
What does an event planner cost in your city?
Month-of coordination commonly runs $1,500–3,500, partial planning $2,500–6,000, and full-service planning $4,000–12,000+ depending on event size and complexity. Percentage-of-budget pricing (10–20%) is common on larger weddings and galas.
What does "CEP Certified" mean on a listing?
It means the planner holds the Certified Event Planner credential from EventPlanning.com, which includes a proctored-style exam. Any CEP certificate can be verified in seconds at eventplanning.com/verify, so ask planners for their verification link.
Planner vs. venue coordinator: do I need both?
A venue coordinator works for the venue (their timeline, their staff). A planner works for you across every vendor. For anything beyond a simple single-vendor event, they're complements, not substitutes.
