What will your event actually cost?
Honest Connecticut numbers, not national averages. Four questions, an instant range, and the same math we use to build real proposals.
Estimated Total Investment
$28,000 – $42,000
Ranges reflect typical Connecticut market rates and include a 5% contingency. Your proposal will be exact, itemized, and frequently comes in below the estimate — negotiation is part of the service.

Three honest truths about event budgets
The guest count is the budget. Every added table ripples through catering, rentals, florals, and space. The fastest way to raise quality without raising spend is trimming the list, not the vision.
Venue style moves the number more than taste does. A tented estate carries infrastructure costs a ballroom already includes. Neither is better — but they should be compared on total cost, which is exactly what we model before you sign anything.
Planning fees usually pay for part of themselves. Vendor negotiation, avoided rush fees, and prevented mistakes routinely recover a meaningful share of our fee — and the day itself becomes yours instead of a job.
