Pricing

Plan your event budget.

Five starting points in New Zealand dollars, with the guests, hours and equipment each one covers.

These are indicative planning estimates for the guest numbers, hours and standard local Christchurch delivery listed below. Your written quote confirms the event details, availability, GST treatment and total payable, including compulsory charges.

Venue hire, catering and drinks are excluded unless added. Regional travel, restricted access, extra crew and custom production are itemised before booking. Events can accommodate up to 100 guests and run for up to six hours; larger groups or longer sessions than those listed need a tailored quote.

What changes the estimate?

Additional speakers, breakouts or demonstrations can change the staffing and technical brief. A full-day conference falls outside our six-hour programme limit.

What changes the cost?

People and time

More guests can need extra tables, hosts and equipment. Longer sessions may require staff breaks, another activity or more coordination. The quote reflects the people and equipment needed to deliver your event.

Getting into the venue

Travel, freight and accommodation affect events outside Christchurch. Stairs, long loading routes, limited lift access and short installation windows can require additional crew. Send the venue details early.

Making it your own

Custom scenery, original quiz rounds and a complex stage show take additional preparation. The quote separates the core event from optional additions so you can choose where to spend.

Working with other suppliers

For each additional supplier, the written arrangements identify who books and pays them, any coordination fee and their conditions. Existing contracts stay with the party that made them unless a different arrangement is recorded.

Before we get together

Inclusions, additions and booking questions

How do we confirm a booking?

An enquiry starts the conversation and does not reserve a date. After checking the venue, staffing and equipment, we send a written proposal with the services, price, validity period, payment dates and confirmation steps. A booking is confirmed when those steps are completed and we issue confirmation. See booking terms.

Does the session length include setup and pack-down?

The guest session and venue access are separate. The starting prices include standard setup and pack-down, but the venue booking must allow enough time before and afterwards. Restricted access or complex installation can add crew costs.

Can we keep to a fixed overall budget?

Tell us whether your budget also needs to cover the venue, catering and other suppliers. We can suggest a smaller activity, simpler styling or fewer custom elements. If the combination does not fit, we will explain the options.

Can you arrange a venue, food or drinks?

These are additions to the listed event packages. Venue sourcing, site visits and catering coordination can be included in the quote. Supplier charges, payment arrangements and our coordination role are set out before you commit. Alcohol arrangements are covered in the supplier terms.

What about costumes, performers, trophies or specialist effects?

Costume hire, specialist performers, award trophies, marquees, rigging and special effects are not standard inclusions. They need separate supplier arrangements and a suitable venue. Large screens, livestreaming, recording and advanced technical production also require a separate brief and budget.

How do outdoor events work if the weather changes?

Before booking, the plan identifies a sheltered alternative, when the weather decision will be made and any additional costs. Ground conditions, power and venue access affect the equipment that can be used.

Can the guest count or event details change?

Contact us as soon as you know, within the maximum of 100 guests. Changes can affect tables, staff, catering and supplier costs. We explain the impact and obtain approval for a revised price or service before confirming it. Your event documents give the final-details deadline.

What are the payment and cancellation conditions?

The written booking documents state the payment schedule and event-specific cancellation or rescheduling conditions. There is no universal deposit or cancellation percentage on this site. See changes, cancellation and rescheduling for the underlying terms.
