The budget is often one of the first concerns when planning an event. Anticipating the various cost items makes it possible to take informed decisions and to create an event that matches your wishes.

How the budget breaks down

The budget varies with the type of event, the number of guests, the venue and the services chosen. The main cost items usually are:

  • catering and drinks;
  • the venue;
  • styling and equipment rental;
  • photographer and videographer;
  • entertainment, music and other services.

Optimising your budget

Setting your priorities from the start is what makes a budget work. The number of guests, the time of year, the services and the styling are all levers to adapt your project without giving up on quality.

Where it pays to invest

Some services directly shape your guests’ experience and the memories of the day. It is often preferable to invest in the elements that will have the greatest impact on how your event unfolds.
