How expensive is an independent planner?
That depends–how efficiently will your event be planned without one? A good planner is valuable, and the savings they generate in time and money more than justifies the cost. Planners base their fees on a number of different scenarios: some fees are per hour, some per event, some per day, and some are variations of all three. You may also find planners who will charge a percentage of your event’s budget. If you have a specific event in mind for which you would like to hire a planner, call several different companies to get an idea of what the cost will be. Keep in mind, though, that the least expensive may not be the worst and the most expensive may not be the best.
