[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Planners do not have to cost that much.  Ours cost about 2K:  1K for the planning help, and 1K for being onsite during the party to make sure everything goes smoothly.  Our budget was about 15K (soft), and 20K firm...She worked within our budget.  She listened to our plans....she knew vendors, and was familiar with the venues.  She took care of all of the on-the-day setups, which meant my wife and I could focus on being a good host.

BTW,  If you look at just the party costs, and we did not decorate, we would have been just over 10k (excluding the planner, invites, etc).  Venue charges (food, room and open bar) were $7700, DJ was 1250, and Photographer was 2K.  This was for 80+ people.

(in my 20K number I am including temple fees, planner, decorating expenses, give aways, invites, and the sunday brunch). [/quote

+1 We did not pay that for our party planner either. I paid for 10 hours of planning plus to be on site the day of the event. Managing an event, even a small one takes time. I wanted to enjoy the day, not worry that the food wasn't coming out on time or the DJ wasn't sticking to the schedule. It made the day much more enjoyable. The planner also knows the resources and vendors better because they are doing events all the time. They know how to make an event look good with a limited budget.[/quote]
