event budget Zimbabwe, how to budget for an event
Most people underestimate how many categories an event needs.
| Category | What to include |
|---|---|
| Venue and site | Hire fees, permits, access |
| Shelter and layout | Tents, flooring, walkways |
| Seating and tables | Chairs, tables, linen |
| Décor and lighting | Styling, backdrops, lights |
| Sound and technical | PA, microphones, power |
| Food and drink | Catering, service staff |
| Media | Photography, video |
| Transport and logistics | Delivery, setup, clearing |
| Contingency | Money for the unexpected |
How to budget well:
- List every category before assigning amounts.
- Rank them by what matters most to your guests.
- Keep a contingency, because something always changes.
- Request quotes that itemise every line.
- Compare quotes on scope, not just totals.
