1. Service or Management Fee
Our service fee covers the expertise, coordination, and on-the-ground management essential to a smooth event. This fee typically ranges from 10-15% of the total program cost, depending on the event’s size and complexity. We keep this fee competitive and clearly outlined in your contract, ensuring full transparency.

2. Vendor Service Markups
We work with trusted vendors for transportation, catering, entertainment, and more. To cover the coordination, booking, and quality assurance involved, we include a 5-10% markup on vendor services—one of the lowest in the industry. This markup is transparently itemized in your quote so you can see where each dollar goes, fully compliant with California disclosure regulations.

3. Vendor Commissions
Certain vendors, such as hotels and activity providers, may offer us a commission for bringing in business. Unlike many companies, we disclose these commissions upfront, ensuring they don’t impact your rates. If commissions are part of your event’s cost structure, they’ll be fully noted in your proposal.

4. Event and Activity Fees
For specific events or activities you choose to include, we charge a per-activity fee. This covers our time securing and coordinating each aspect, from bookings to timing and logistics, so everything goes smoothly. These fees will be outlined clearly in your proposal, providing an itemized view for added transparency.

5. On-Site Support Fees
For larger events requiring on-site staff, we charge an hourly or daily rate per team member present to manage real-time logistics. Our on-site support fees are among the most competitive in the industry. If on-site support is needed, these rates will be included in your proposal with clear documentation.

Forms of Payment
To make the payment process convenient, we accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and wire transfers. However, our preferred form of payment is ACH or bank wire transfer for efficiency and security.

Payment Schedule and Deposits
We require an initial deposit of 10-50% of the estimated cost to secure your booking, with a clear payment schedule and final payment due before the event. This approach ensures full cost structure transparency from the start, with no hidden fees.
