Event planners in Singapore coordinate corporate events, product launches, annual dinners, conferences, and private celebrations. Fee structures split between percentage of total budget (10-18%) and flat rates. Vendor commission markups (when planners earn kickbacks from caterers, florists, AV) are often undisclosed — transparent planners name their fee structure upfront.

Because Hougang is primarily a HDB area, event planners jobs here lean toward the issues typical of that property mix. Any provider familiar with homes near Heartland Mall will have seen the recurring patterns and can advise on the right fix before quoting.
Small private celebrations: S\$1,500-5,000 flat. Medium corporate events: S\$5,000-18,000 flat or 10-15% of budget. Large corporate/premium events: S\$15,000-60,000+ flat or 12-18% of budget. Day-of coordinator only: S\$800-2,500. Destination/MICE events: S\$25,000-150,000+.
For predictable event budgets, flat fee gives cost certainty. For events where scope may expand, percentage fee means planner and client interests align (planner benefits as budget grows with appropriate scope). Avoid blended models that are opaque. Ask for clear fee structure upfront.
Ask the planner to disclose vendor commission structure. Some planners earn 10-20% from caterers, florists, AV. Transparent planners acknowledge this; opaque ones bury it in vendor quotes. For large budgets, request itemised vendor breakdowns — you can contact vendors directly for quotes and spot 20-30% markups.
For corporate events, 3-5+ years with named clients (SingTel annual dinner, DBS conferences, specific trade shows). For weddings, references from 10+ recent weddings of similar scale. For MICE, SACEOS membership signals large-scale capability. Planners unable to name actual past events of your scale are underqualified.
Yes — reputable planners handle public liability insurance (minimum S\$1M for events above 200 guests) and venue permits. For outdoor events at Gardens by the Bay, Fort Canning, Sentosa: additional permits and fees apply. Planners without insurance handling expose clients to significant liability if guests are injured.
