Decide guest count, vibe (boho sundowner, retro bollywood, kids carnival), must‑haves, and budget buckets. Choose service model: full planning, partial, or day‑of coordination. On myTribe, a quick brief gets you curated matches that fit date, price, and style. We handle the back‑and‑forth to firm scope, on‑site team size, and deliverables, so you only compare apples to apples and not vague “we’ll manage everything” promises.
Local rules, venues and permissions
In Gurugram, outdoor loudspeakers must go quiet after 10 pm; plan dance floors indoors or shift to an after‑party. Farmhouses on SPR/Sohna Road need generator backup and parking marshals; society clubhouses require RWA approvals and a refundable deposit. Alcohol at non‑licensed venues needs an excise‑compliant service via your caterer/bar. myTribe double‑checks documents, vendor access windows, and lift timings for Golf Course Road and Cyber City venues.
What planners cost in Gurugram
Day‑of coordinators run 25k–60k for 5–8 hours; partial planning 50k–1.2L; full planning is 8–12% of party budget or 1.5L–3L for 250–350 guests. Kids’ birthdays with decor basics sit around 30k–80k. Expect 30–40% advance, milestone payments, and GST extra. myTribe gets written scope (crew count, styling, teardown) so you don’t pay twice for overlaps with venue or caterer.
Lock suppliers, timelines and backups
After planner shortlisting, freeze decor, catering, bar, DJ, photographer, and rental lists. Ask for a moodboard, a site recce, and a wet‑weather plan for lawns. In high‑rises, confirm service lift sizes and load‑in windows. Do one tasting and one mock setup. myTribe runs a shared checklist, chases confirmations, and flags risky gaps a week out, leaving you free for the fun bits.
