Invoicing FAQ for Event Planners
Should vendor costs be pass-through?+
Yes — bill vendors directly to the client where possible to keep your invoice clean and avoid markup disputes.
Can I charge a planning fee separately from coordination?+
Yes — many planners offer tiered packages: planning only, coordination only, or full service.
What about cancellation?+
Use a sliding cancellation schedule in your contract — 100% refundable up to 6 months out, less as the date approaches.
