Adaptability. Being able to quickly adapt when issues arise or requirements change.
Budgeting. Working for non-profits for so long I learned how to get the best possible deal so your budget goes as far as possible.
Communication. I am open and honest, not afraid to have difficult conversations when the need arises. I'm a clear concise communicator who does not like to leave room for misinterpretations.

The cost of hiring an event manager can vary greatly depending on the size, scope and complexity as well as the type of event, budget, and customer needs. I do what I can to create a cost that is appropriate and affordable for the services being offered.
Rates can be charged hourly, as a cost plus contract, or flat fee.
Fundraisers for non-profits have the option to be run on a commission based agreement
A non refundable deposit of 60% is required prior to work commencing.

Contract terms and conditions will be agreed upon between both parties.

I have zero tolerance for harassment or bullying of myself, vendors, contractors, or other event attendees. Violent, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate behavior will result in immediate termination of services and the client will be responsible for all outstanding monies owed.
