Opulence Entertainment Group delivers transparent estimates during our first meeting so there are complete transparency throughout the process.
What's the difference between a full-service planner and a day-of coordinator?A comprehensive event planner is involved from start to finish — logistics, creative direction, timelines — starting well ahead of the date. A day-of coordinator gets involved nearer to the event in order to manage the logistics of a pre-planned occasion. The right choice depends on your situation — our team is happy to help you determine what level of support best matches your vision.
How early do I need to hire a planner?The earlier you begin always pays off. For weddings and galas, most planners advise starting no later than 6–12 months in advance. Smaller events can usually come together in a shorter window, and lead time always helps. In busy periods, popular venues disappear early, so reaching out sooner is always the smart move.
