Are any of your products and/or services available to use outside of the
Northern California area?
Yes, many of our products for Meeting Planning, Team Building, Entertainment, Turnkey
Audio and Video Production, Dance Parties, Celebrations, Incentive and Promotional
services will travel for the cost of the product or service along with any related
travel costs, shipping and lodging
fees.
All of our Management, Consultation and Planning services can be utilized
virtually throughout the entire world on a per event basis.
Unfortunately, our
exceptional Food and Beverage services do not travel affordably. Although, with our vast
networking capabilities we are able to produce and manage these type of services along
with all of your event needs in any market.
How does Darryl Scotti Events, Inc. get paid?
Good question! We work with several different financial arrangements.
- First and most common, we work with an 'Event Management Fee' usually around
10 to 15% of the total event costs.
- Second, we provide 'Consultation and Design' on a per event hourly fee
structure, or on a quarterly or yearly retainer formulated to your exact needs.
- Third, we provide our own in house services whenever possible.
- Finally, from our principle vendors and B2B partners we receive commissions .
Since there is no "cookie-cutter" when it comes to producing an event
let's discuss exactly what financial arrangement will best suit your needs. In any regard we
strive to deliver the best value, for the best services done in the right way.
How do Darryl Scotti Events, Inc. services work?
We are a full service event design, planning, and management company. After an initial
consultation where can determine exactly the type of event products and services
you're interested in we will at no cost to you provide a detailed line item
description of your event and what the estimated costs are to produce it large or small.
Then what?
Once you're comfortable with the design of your event and the proposal of services
required along with their related costs we'll administrate the appropriate paperwork
needed to execute your needs.
Does Darryl Scotti Events, Inc. handle the whole event or can you work
with other vendors?
Although most of our events are handled by us from 'A to Z' we are pleased to work
with all vendors either as the 'Event Manager' or simply as another vendor in the
loop. Supplying and being responsible for our part of your event is always our pleasure.
Whatever your needs are; consider us flexible!!
How long does it take to get a response?
Under normal circumstances within twenty-four hours from receiving your RFP
we'll be able to get all the information you'll need to get started on your
next great event.
According to your needs, in the shortest amount of
turn around time possible, we'll design a description line item proposal breakout
for your next great event on our customized database software. We know how
important it is to be on time, on target and on budget.
If, for whatever
reason, we're not able to help on this event we can help close the loop and refer
you to the right vendor. All we ask you is to keep us in mind for your next great
event.
How long does it take Darryl Scotti Events, Inc. to produce an event?
There is no short answer to this question. Although we are currently planning events as
far into the future as two years, we are still planning great events with as little time
as a weeks notice.
Obviously, with the appropriate amount of time, direction and
budget anything is possible. Ask us how!
How can we contact your references?
Out of respect for our Client's privacy we do not publish their names, phone numbers,
fax or e-mail addresses. Although, once we've determined all your event needs we're
delighted to provide you with any of the reference information you'll need to make the
right choice.
We'll personally put you in touch with a past client that has utilized similar services
to the ones you've requested.
