How Our Event Planning Cost Estimator Works
At the Utah Valley Convention Center, we’ve streamlined the process of estimating event costs. With just a few clicks, you can get a comprehensive estimate to guide your planning decisions. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Enter Your Event Name
Start by giving your event a name. Whether it’s “Tech Innovators Conference 2025” or “Spring Gala,” naming your event helps personalize the process and keeps your estimate organized.
Step 2: Select the Type of Event
Choose from various categories like corporate meetings, weddings, live performances, sports events, or trade shows. This selection allows the estimator to tailor recommendations and cost elements based on the specific needs of your event type.
Step 3: Estimate the Number of Attendees
Enter the approximate number of guests or participants. The size of your audience affects several cost factors, including venue space, catering, seating arrangements, and more.
Step 4: Input Your Event Dates
Provide the start and end dates of your event, including any necessary move-in and move-out times. Accurate date entry ensures availability and allows us to calculate costs for rental durations.
Step 5: Indicate Date Flexibility
If your preferred dates are unavailable, let us know whether you’re flexible. Flexibility can open up options for cost savings and alternative arrangements, particularly during high-demand seasons.
