Key Benefits for Event Planners
Track Planning vs Execution Hours
Measure time spent on venue research, vendor sourcing, and logistics planning separately from on-site setup, event coordination, and teardown. Price planning and execution phases independently based on the distinct effort each requires.
Monitor Vendor Coordination Effort
Capture hours dedicated to vendor outreach, contract negotiation, logistics coordination, and day-of vendor management. Demonstrate the complexity of comprehensive event management to clients who underestimate coordination effort.
Measure Client Consultation and Design Time
Track time invested in theme development, client presentations, decor mockups, seating arrangements, and budget revisions. Scope creative direction fees accurately and enforce reasonable revision limits in event contracts.
Quantify On-Site Event Management Hours
Record all on-site time including early setup, guest management, speaker coordination, vendor oversight, and post-event breakdown. Justify day-of management fees with transparent time data that reflects the full scope of event execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we track time for events that require extensive on-site coordination?
Use mobile apps to track time during site visits and event execution, with the ability to log time even when moving between locations. Event execution time can be tracked separately from planning work, and the system allows you to see time spent on setup, actual event coordination, and breakdown. Many event planning agencies bill on-site time at different rates than planning time.
Can we track time separately for event planning vs vendor coordination vs execution?
Yes, you can create separate time categories for planning work, vendor coordination, site visits, and event execution. Each phase has different time requirements and may be billed at different rates. Tracking this time separately helps you understand the true cost of event planning services and price them accurately.
How do we handle time tracking for events that span multiple days?
Create event-based time entries that can span multiple days, with the ability to track time for each day separately. The system aggregates all time spent on an event, including planning, coordination, and execution time, ensuring all event planning hours are captured and billed correctly, even for multi-day events.
What about tracking time for vendor meetings and venue tours?
Track all vendor and venue-related time separately from client meetings. This includes time spent meeting with vendors, touring venues, and coordinating with suppliers. The system allows you to see time spent on vendor coordination, helping you understand the true cost of comprehensive event planning and price your services accordingly.
