Event planning fees in Singapore vary considerably by scope. Full event planning (excluding venue and food and beverage) typically runs S$5,000–25,000 or more for weddings and large corporate events, depending on the number of vendors managed, the complexity of the brief, and the planner's involvement on the day itself. Smaller milestone events and private parties sit in a lower range. Tatler Asia Events uses a package pricing model — contact them directly for a tailored quote based on your event date, headcount, and scope. Confirm the following in writing before signing: the deposit amount (typically 30–50%), the balance payment schedule, hours of coverage or deliverables included, travel charges for non-central venues, and GST. Ask specifically what is managed in-house versus subcontracted, and what happens to your deposit if the event date changes. See the full event planners cost guide for Singapore →

For weddings, six to twelve months ahead is the standard recommendation — popular Saturdays in March, April, October, and November are the first to go. If your event involves multiple vendor categories managed by the planner, an earlier start gives more time to secure first-choice suppliers before they are booked by competing events. For corporate events, private parties, and other milestone celebrations, a lead time of eight to sixteen weeks is generally workable, though shorter timelines are possible depending on the brief. Contact Tatler Asia Events early to confirm date availability, and note that the deposit is typically what secures the date — before payment, the date remains open to other enquiries. Ask about wet-weather or force-majeure contingency if any portion of your event is outdoors or in a venue with restrictions.

Singapore industry standard is a 30–50% deposit on signing to hold the event date, with the balance due one to two weeks before the event. Confirm in writing what the deposit covers — typically the date hold and planning hours already committed — and whether it is refundable or transferable to a future date on cancellation. Most event planning agreements treat the deposit as non-refundable once planning has begun, though some planners allow rescheduling within a defined window without forfeiting the full amount. Ask specifically about the policy if a venue cancels, a key vendor pulls out, or a public-health or force-majeure event forces postponement. Also confirm whether Tatler Asia Events holds public liability insurance and whether a copy of the certificate can be provided to your venue if required — this is commonly needed for events at hotel ballrooms, condo function rooms, and HDB void decks. Lock in the date with a written contract and deposit, confirm the public liability insurance and any venue paperwork, and put the deliverables, balance schedule, and rescheduling policy in writing.
