We’re truly excited to host your event at Inn Cahoots and are always happy to help make it a great experience. While we provide support along the way, Inn Cahoots is not an event planning service; the service fee in your contract is intended to cover basic coordination and necessary planning hours. This includes time spent not only with clients, but also meeting with caterers, speaking with planners, showing the property, reviewing plans with liquor vendors, and coordinating other event logistics
The service fee also includes an onsite event coordinator and/or bar manager to assist with the flow of the event. We estimate planning time at $125 per hour, and we are happy to be flexible; if you are getting close to the allotted planning time, we may reach out to see whether you’d like to add more planning hours or discuss ways to streamline moving forward so our team can properly plan and budget their time; we will reach out to you before we get to a point where any billing is necessary, and we won't charge unless approved. We try to be cool, but also really need to make sure we properly budget hours. We hope you understand - if we don't budget hours properly with our planners, they can get overwhelmed and we want to make sure we are documenting and executing all areas of your event properly.
Also, because we are a very large campus, shipments can also be difficult to store and manage; we are happy to receive packages for $25 per package, or we can recommend nearby shipment facilities that will securely store them for you. We truly want to be as flexible and helpful as possible and apologize for any inconvenience, but these policies allow our team to properly budget the time required to track, store, and manage details so that every guest has a great experience.
