MCGEE EVENT PLANNING
PARTIAL EVENT + VENDOR PLANNING
McGee planning is here to assist you in coordinating vendors (e.g. venue, decoration, food, entertainment [of course!], lighting etc) to bring together the vision of your event! Using our shortlist of preferred suppliers, we will listen to your event and style brief and your budget.
We’ll consult with our network and provide you with a shortlist of three vendors for each category and using a comparison chart indicate the vendor which best suits your needs and arrange a time for you to meet with them. Once you’ve selected your preferred vendors, we’ll help you to negotiate your package making sure you have all the inclusions you need (and nothing you don’t)
fee is negotiable subject to requirements
$999 - $1,999.00 + GST | Includes: In-person or over the phone consultation to discuss the vision of your event, site visit location, vendor short list, comparison chart, contract negotiation and budget management]

ON-THE-DAY COORDINATION – FULL EVENT COVERAGE
For larger bespoke events, or an affair where you’ve booked more vendors than you can keep track of, then it’s likely to be more work than you need to be dealing with on your day. Naturally we’ll take care of the details and follow up with your vendors, confirming every booking two weeks prior to the event. On the day of the event, we will be there to set up, style (according to your brief and guidelines), oversee and ensure that everyone is on task while problem solving the inevitable curve balls. We’ll work with you and the venue to determine the best way to structure your formalities as well as write up your run sheet for you, and circulate to your vendors
$1,099 + GST | Includes: Up to 8 service hours on the day, final 1 preparation meeting, run sheet preparation, unlimited email correspondence and 1 Event Producer. Pricing does not include pack-down. Additional hours: $100 + GST
