What to put on a quotation format for event planners

Along with the usual header, numbering, dates and totals, event planners should add:

  • Event name, date and venue
  • Guest count the price is based on
  • Advance already received
  • Vendor or decor sub-totals

Tips for event planners

  • Base catering on a guest count and say what happens if the count rises.
  • Name what is included in decor so there are no surprises on the day.
  • Set a payment schedule, such as 40% to confirm the date, 40% a week before, 20% after.

Questions

How detailed should a wedding quotation be?

Detailed enough that the client can approve each part. Group items by function and show the guest count the prices assume.

Is a quotation different from a proforma or tax invoice?

Yes. A quotation is an offer with a price and is not a demand for payment. A tax invoice is issued when you supply the goods or services and is the document used for GST.

Can I create this in FINTY?

Yes. FINTY numbers your documents, adds the right CGST, SGST or IGST, keeps your client list and sends the PDF on WhatsApp. There is a free plan and a 30-day trial.
