What’s the difference between party program planning, party hosting and party planning? And what are the costs?

PARTY HOSTING

Our site features a wide array of pre-made party programs delivered by a specialized team of trained staff. These programs are meticulously designed to run consistently every time, akin to ordering a set meal at a restaurant. Each member of our team is well-versed in their roles, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

These programs cater to popular themes and concepts, making them suitable for a diverse range of ages and interests. In fact, 99% of the time, these party programs are perfectly aligned with the children’s age, abilities, and interests.

Additionally, we collaborate with numerous party planning companies to deliver top-notch entertainment. These companies often handle the comprehensive planning themselves, requiring us to step in and deliver the entertainment as per their design.

COSTS:

• $750 for a 2-hour pre-made program
• $850 for a 2-hour water-based program

Party planners who provide all props and costumes along with a detailed program plan can also benefit from these rates. Regular party planners who establish an official partnership with us receive a partner discount for every booking.

PARTY PROGRAM PLANNING (CUSTOM PROGRAM)

Our party program planning service offers a unique, bespoke experience that differs significantly from our pre-made programs. Custom programs are tailored specifically to the client’s needs, offering a new and unique event every time.

Due to the specialized nature of these programs, our staff may require additional training, or we may need to bring in specialized talent to meet your specific requirements. This added complexity is why custom programs are priced higher—they demand more time, resources, and effort compared to our standard offerings.

When you opt for a custom program, we collaborate closely with you to ensure the program resonates well with your audience. We handle the design and scheduling of the program, procure all necessary props and costumes, and develop a detailed instruction plan. A skilled host, supported by a dedicated team, will be assigned to ensure the event is executed flawlessly.

COSTS:

• $1000 for a 2-hour custom program
• $1150 for a 2-hour water-based custom program

Regular party planners who form an official partnership with us receive a partner discount for every booking.
