BRING YOUR GRAND EVENT VISION TO LIFE! With These 3 Tips From Elliot Marach
“That wow factor is what people are going to remember,” he says. “One big statement will have a lot more legs than if everything is mid- or low-tier.” 2. ‘Double dip’ with vendors or get crafty to save on decor. If you’ve hired a vendor to create signage, why not ask if they can craft a backdrop for you too? “Double dipping” this way can save you money on labor, trucking, and other fees. Of course, the DIY route may be the cheapest of all if you have the necessary skills. 3. Save the wow factor for the send-off. “Everybody wants balloon arches or ice sculptures at the beginning of their event, but the guests won’t see it when they walk out, so it may not leave a lasting impression,” Elliot says. He recommends saving money on the entrance and allocating your funds to the end of the night instead. “The energy always has to go up in an event — it can never go down,” he says. If you keep these things in mind, you can bring your vision to life without compromising your budget.
Here at Eventique, we like to think big — then reconcile our client’s budget with our vision. If you have over-the-top hopes for this Valentine’s Day or your next birthday party, you can go through the same process to turn your dream into a show-stopping reality at home. To guide you through those steps, we turned to Eventique Senior Project Coordinator Elliot Marach. Elliot’s background planning Hollywood movie premiers and studying musical theater has given him a flair for the dramatic, but he’s also a pro at cutting that drama down to size. Here are his tips for scaling your grand ideas to fit the realities of your budget, space, and timeline — without compromising your vision.
1. Splurge on your statement piece. Which piece of your event do you care about the most? Maybe you want a to-die-for delicious birthday cake or a beautiful backdrop for your Valentine’s Day proposal. Elliot recommends you pick one thing and “really crush it,” then budget on the rest.
