For taking on new clients, Blue Button Events uses a three step approach for working with our clients to develop the best strategy for executing every detail of your event. Price estimates are provided during the consultation phase. As a rule of thumb, the current structure is $250.00 for preparation work and $50.00 per hour per person. Rates will vary dependent on location and other factors such as complexity, event size, and services provided.
Step 1: Consultation
Consultations are free of charge and available Monday through Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. by phone or in person (location dependent). We will use the consultation to talk about which services are applicable for your event and what your most important needs will be for making your guests enjoy the function.
Step 2: Identify Preparation Needs
During the consultation, we will identify and specific preparation tasks or site visits that will be important for the successful execution of the event. Examples include: reviewing schedules, meeting with any key vendors, and visiting site locations.
Step 3: Event Execution
On the day of the event, the services provided will depend on the event specific requirements and may include: greeting guests and providing directions, constructing table arrangements, meeting vendors and providing direction based on discussed plans, accepting deliveries, managing event time schedules, and ensuring facility close out.
