Frequently Asked Questions

How our service works…

The process of having your event planned by us is quite easy on your end!

  1. Book a consultation

  2. Make a few decisions

  3. Sit back and relax

What’s the first step?

When you have decided that you would like to plan your event with us, the first step would be to Book An Appointment. Once you do that, we would get back to you via email with further information. In this email thread, we will decide if and where to meet for our consultation.

How far in advance would you have to contact us?

Although we do a great job at putting together last-minute events, it is strongly encouraged that our clients contact us at least 30 days in advance for smaller events, at least 3 months in advance for larger events and at least 7 months in advance for weddings.

What happens at consultations?

In the first consultation, we will cover introductions, and talk about the vision you have for your event. We will also go over the pricing policy as well as develop the items that will contribute toward the budget.

In the second consultation, a finalized budget will be agreed on for the event, and you can then decide to secure your booking with us by paying the planner deposit. Once we have the overall idea and budget down, event planner and vendor deposits will be required based on the budget.

….then the planning begins.

Note that the first two consultations are free. Your booking deposit will have to be secured before a third consultation is done.

Consultations after that will involve us presenting you with further ideas for the event as well as suggestions for vendors and updates on the progress of our planning.

What do your prices look like?

Our pricing policy is fairly straightforward and the same rates are applicable to every customer.

NOTE: For all events, the planner fee is 20% of the overall budget, with a minimum of $4000 as the planning fee for weddings and $1500 as the planning fee for other kinds of events.

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required after the first consultation in order to secure our services for your event. Services will not start until you secure our services with a 50% deposit. The remaining 50% must be paid on or before the day of the event.

**Pricing policies are subject to change over time**

Do you work Internationally?

Yes, we do. At Events with Uche, we strive to make every experience worthwhile, regardless of the distance. We are willing to fly out the lead event planner to any wedding destination to ensure smooth operations at your request.
