Private event planners often charge fees based on various factors such as the complexity of the event, the number of guests, the location, and the services provided. Charges may be a flat fee or a percentage of the overall event budget. For smaller parties, private event planners might charge a flat fee ranging from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars. For larger or more elaborate events, their fees could be a percentage of the total budget, typically ranging from 10% to 15%.
It's essential to discuss specific details with a private event planner to get a tailored quote based on your event requirements.
