Private Celebration FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a party planner in the UK?
Private celebration costs vary depending on guest numbers, venue, catering, entertainment, and production. An intimate dinner party for 30 guests might start from £3,000, while a large-scale milestone birthday or anniversary celebration for 200+ guests with full production can range from £15,000 to £100,000+. We provide bespoke quotes for every celebration.
How far in advance should I book a private event planner?
We recommend 3 to 6 months for major celebrations, and 6 to 12 months for large-scale events or popular venues and dates. However, we've delivered stunning private celebrations with as little as 3 weeks' notice. The sooner you get in touch, the more options we can offer.
Can you plan a surprise party?
Absolutely — surprise events are one of our specialities. We manage all planning, communications, and logistics discreetly, working with a trusted contact to coordinate the reveal. We've delivered surprise milestone birthdays, anniversary celebrations, and retirement parties without the guest of honour suspecting a thing.
Can you plan a 50th or 40th birthday party?
Yes — milestone birthdays are among our most popular private celebration requests. Whether it's a 40th, 50th, 60th, or 70th, we create bespoke parties that reflect the personality of the guest of honour, from intimate dinners to large-scale events with live entertainment and full production.
