Confirm the event scope, services, and payment schedule in a written contract before planning begins. Require a deposit (30-50% of the total fee) to secure the date. Invoice in milestones: a deposit on signing, a progress payment at a defined planning milestone, and the final balance two to four weeks before the event. This ensures you are never chasing large sums after the event is over. Pass through vendor payments and reimbursable expenses with receipts attached. For corporate events, invoice on Net 30 terms and be prepared to provide a formal purchase order reference. Follow up on outstanding balances before the event date.
