Event Planner Costs at a Glance
There's a distinct difference between event planning fees for social events, celebrations and wedding and event planner pricing for corporate event planning. While planners for social events may charge $2,500 - $6,000 for a special event, fees for a corporate event planner can range from $75 an hour-$250.00 an hour, and result in event planner contracts and fees totaling $30,000-$150,000 or more depending on scope, size, duration, production complexity, and stakeholder needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should be included in an event planner contract?
A professional event planner contract should outline the scope of services, payment terms, timelines, cancellation policy, and any limitations or exclusions. AMP provides a clear contract that reflects our flat-fee model and sets expectations upfront.
How are event planner fees typically structured?
Event planner contracts and fees can vary—some charge hourly, others work on a percentage of total event spend. AMP Event Group uses fixed-fee pricing, so you’ll never be surprised by hourly overages or add-ons you didn’t approve.
Do I pay event planner fees upfront or in installments?
Most event planner contracts, including AMP’s, use milestone-based payments. We typically invoice in 2–3 installments based on the project timeline, not a lump sum upfront.
Can I make changes after signing the contract?
Absolutely. We know events evolve. Our contracts include a change order clause so adjustments can be scoped, priced, and approved before additional work begins.
What happens if I cancel my event?
Our contracts include a cancellation policy based on notice period and work completed. We’re transparent about fees and always aim to find a fair resolution if timelines shift.
