Create Your Budget
When working with an event rental company, many vendors ask, “What is your budget?” during the event planning process. Creating a realistic budget from the beginning will help guide you through the planning process. If this is your first time building a budget for an event, start by creating a list of items and vendors you will need to host a successful event. Start by researching pricing and requesting quotes from different vendors to give you a rough idea of how much everything will cost.
As a nonprofit, make sure to ask your vendor if they offer a nonprofit discount or accept tax-exempt certificates. At FLEXX Productions, we offer nonprofit discounts and accept tax-exempt certificates. We want to help make your nonprofit event a success, which is why we offer additional discounts in the form of sponsorships and trades.
Design Your Event
Part of the event planning process involves designing how it will look, which is usually the most fun aspect of the planning process. Designing your event includes picking a color scheme, building a menu, and creating the layout. If you select the right vendors, they will keep you on track with certain design element decisions.
At FLEXX Productions, we provide our clients with custom CAD layouts so they can visually see how everything will fit beneath a tent or given area. This is a complimentary service we offer our clients. Check out some of our prebuilt CAD layouts for our different tent styles.
Book Your Event Rentals
Booking your event rentals early will guarantee availability and help prevent last-minute panic. If you’re looking to host your nonprofit event between May and October, booking your event rentals should be one of your top priorities.
