Can you help for a longer - or retainer period?

Yes!
Let’s talk about how much time you’d need and how we can work together. I am also well-oiled in running annual programs and happy to be part of a “permanent” event planning solution.

Can you give me a quick cost of how much?

Yes - but mostly no.
Hard no.

I don’t create based on templates or shell structure events. And to be honest, anyone who gives you a quick sum, (guaranteed) missed the brief or will overspend at some point. - Fact!

Many coordinators aim for financial management - I apply financial stewardship - We discuss your needs, I create an accurate cost estimate based on these needs - and you have a clear and honest projection of what you’re in for. We also plan with contingency - no ugly surprises! In support of this, I work with teams who have quoted in real-time and navigate elements that might fluctuate the budget, and most importantly - I package the execution to optimize every cent spent. 

Learn more about What I do & How I work for further clarity.

How much do you charge?

This all depends on what we’re doing and the full scope which we will discuss alongside the final scope of what needs to get done.

You mention ‘refunds’ in your process, why not bill the actual cost?

Love the way you think…

Simply put - the process of building and creating an event is not linear. Events specifically are made at the event date - not months prior when we quoted. Shit happens along the way and we need to be prepared for that. (The weather looks dodgy - we book heaters, tents, umbrellas… Extra guests RSVP last minute - something we don’t want to say no to right… so we order more cutlery, napkins, and catering…) Some things fluctuate and instead of you need to face a hard financial conversation days before the party, or rush to process a last-minute payment - we try to account for this in advance.

See what I mean?

NOW… My job is to facilitate that process to your benefit, limit any waste, and account for the unspent contingency.

I need this to be discreet.

That’s my game.

I don’t run a social media-heavy or “tell the tale” business. While I work in campaigns using the platforms - I don’t engage in driving my business here. (It’s also not what my work is about - I’m more aligned with intentional eventing.)

I value confidentiality and your trust - let’s talk about our shared requirements and make this work.

Would you travel?

I have worked across the country - Cape Town remains my favorite city for stay & play!
A firm favorite remains Franschhoek and the Cape Winelands - It’s a quick drive from Cape Town; picturesque, warm, and incredibly diverse in activities - PERFECT for a retreat or summit.

Let’s talk about your needs to see if I’m a perfect fit for your event or project outside these bounds.

I need to host “something” - can you help?

Would love to!

But I need to know more, and we have to get some clarity. We work on ‘zero waste’ around here so the more specific we can be in the details, the better we can curate the day.

I have a question that’s not listed and I’m not sure if this would work.

No problem - I’m available for this via 📩 ☎️

Share all the details with what you have in mind - Always happy to set up a 15-minute call to unpack the info.
