You’re wondering about the cost, aren’t you?
Customized doesn’t mean costly. These events can be as small or as large as you want them, so we’ll work with you to create an experience to remember at a reasonable price. Events usually cost between $2,000–$8,000 depending on variables such as duration, number of stations, number of staff, number of participants, food preferences, etc.
These events really are customized experiences. Chances are, we have a program that will meet your budgetary constraints. Plus, we’re a non-profit. If you can’t afford it, we might be able to help! So, pop us an email or give us a call.
