How much an event management company costs in Singapore
Most Singapore event management companies do not publish prices: of the 16 we checked, only 3 put any cost figures on their own websites, and two of those describe typical market ranges rather than their own rate card. Every figure below is copied from those published pages, with the source named on each line.

| Full-service event management fee | 10% to 20% | of the total event budget | 2 vendors. Twist Media's FAQ and a The Live Group article both say agency fees typically fall between 10% and 20% of the total budget for full-service planning. Both describe this as the usual market range, not their own fixed rate. *1 |

Common questions
How do event companies in Singapore charge?
Twist Media and The Live Group both say full-service agencies typically charge 10% to 20% of the total event budget. Twist Media adds that smaller events may be priced as a fixed project fee (SGD 2,000 to 10,000+), and partial help by the hour (SGD 100 to 400) or day (SGD 800 to 3,000). The Executive Group says it quotes either a flat management fee or a per-guest budget.
Why don't most event companies publish prices?
Of the 16 Singapore event companies we checked, 13 show no figures at all and ask you to request a quote. The published ranges that do exist swing widely with headcount, venue and production level, for example a product launch at SGD 30,000 to 80,000 in The Live Group's article.
Is there a minimum spend or minimum headcount?
None of the event companies we checked publish a minimum spend or minimum headcount. Venues often have their own minimum spend, which is separate from the planner's fee.
Do these prices include GST?
Get Out! Events says its indicative figures may exclude GST and third-party costs. The other sources do not say either way.
