It’s important to take into account any incidental expenses that may arise during the event, such as unforeseen equipment repairs or changes in transportation costs.
To reduce expenses in your event planning budget, you can consider a few different strategies. You can negotiate with vendors for lower prices, reduce the size or scope of the event, streamline logistics and services, and prioritize which expenses are most important to the success of the event.
