Unit 7 Assignment: Budget Planning You as an event planner have been hired to plan a lavish themed wedding for a wealthy client who expects up to 200 guests in your hometown or a city nearby. The father of the bride is prepared to spend $100000 for an ideal luxury wedding for his only daughter. Prepare the budget for the father of the bride including all activities expenses salaries and other costs. Use the internet or call vendors near you to get real numbers for all aspects of the wedding. You will submit two deliverables: First complete a short (1 page) narrative on the theme and overall budget for the wedding. Your client works in the finance world and will be questioning every budget item. Therefore even though you have a large budget to work with make sure you have examined each item and provided realistic and reasonable costs. You will not want to quote the highest price on any item without substantial reasoning. Remember to explain how you met the clients needs while you maintained the budget. Second you will submit a budget spreadsheet. Use the Wedding Budget Spreadsheet in Doc Sharing as your guide. Document at the bottom of the spreadsheet all of the sources you contacted. Feel free to add or modify any part of the spreadsheet to best fit your event. To complete your project include the following: Checklist: Show amounts you are quoting the client from the net payable to the vendors. Demonstrate that you maintained the clients budget of $100000. Come as close as you can using real numbers. Explain how you maintained the clients budget while addressing their needs and requests.
