Event Management Quotation Format

A corporate offsite involves a dozen suppliers, but the client wants one clear number. This quotation groups the event into planning, production, décor, entertainment, photography and transfers, so they can see the total and adjust any part of it.

Show what changes with the guest count

Some costs are fixed - the stage, the band, your coordination fee - and some depend on numbers, like transfers, welcome kits and meals. Price per-guest items with a quantity so the client can see the effect of 20 more or fewer guests, and state the guest count the quote assumes.

Agree payments and cancellation up front

Event managers commit money to vendors weeks in advance, so the payment schedule matters as much as the total. A common pattern:

  • 50% advance to confirm dates and book vendors
  • 40% about a week before the event
  • The balance on completion, with any agreed extras
  • Cancellation charges that rise as the event date approaches

Frequently asked questions

What GST applies to event management?

Event management services are generally taxed at 18% GST (SAC 998596). For a GST-registered business client, the place of supply is usually the client's location, so this Mumbai company charges IGST to a client registered in Karnataka even though the event is in Goa.

Should hotel rooms go on the event quotation?

Often it's simpler for the client to pay the hotel directly. Accommodation has its own GST rules based on where the hotel is, so if you do include it, ask your accountant how to bill it.
