A small-scale event (10 to 50 people) often has a higher budget per person than a large event. Count on 75 to 250 euros per person, depending on venue, catering and programme. Divide the budget into five items. Venue: 25 to 35 per cent. Catering: 30 to 40 per cent. Programme: 10 to 20 per cent. Production (décor, AV, signage): 10 to 15 per cent. Contingency: 10 per cent reserve. Take into account fixed costs that remain even with small groups. Venue rental is often per hour or per part-day. Technician and hostess for at least 4 hours. Personal touches such as a welcome gift or handwritten menu card cost 10 to 30 euros per guest. Request quotes from at least 3 suppliers. Live Impact builds sharp budgets in which every euro is noticeable for the guest.
