Consulting Fees & Engagement Options
Every event is different — and so are the needs behind it. My consulting services are designed to be flexible, transparent, and scalable, whether you’re planning a single event or managing an ongoing calendar. I offer two primary engagement options, depending on the scope and duration of support you’re looking for.
Option 1: Per-Project Consulting
This option is ideal for organizations planning a specific event or defined initiative.
Each project is quoted individually based on scope, complexity, timeline, and level of involvement. Your quote will include:
- Strategic planning and advisory support
- Scheduled calls and email consultation
- Industry insights, best practices, and resource recommendations
- Relevant contacts and guidance where appropriate
- Review and feedback on plans, timelines, and concepts
Per-project consulting provides clear deliverables and predictable costs; while ensuring you have experienced guidance.
Option 2: Retainer Consulting (Ongoing Support)
For organizations hosting multiple events or ongoing programs, a retainer relationship offers consistent access and long-term strategic alignment.
Retainer consulting may include:
- Ongoing advisory support and strategic input
- Regularly scheduled calls or check-ins
- Email consultation as needs arise
- Advance planning for upcoming or projected events
- Continuity across multiple events or seasons
Retainer engagements are structured monthly and tailored to anticipated needs, providing stability, responsiveness, and deeper familiarity with your organization’s goals and event strategy.
