Surely you have ambitious goals and lots of ideas for your Summer Party. The question is: can your budget keep up?
We were able to distinguish four levels of budgets using as examples the Summer Parties we organized for our customers. For each tier, we give you an idea of what you can expect. Our analysis is based on the organization of an evening — excluding transport and possible accommodations — for at least one hundred people in Paris, including the costs of an event agency.
💰 From 100 to 150 €/person: a simple and effective evening
It's hard to imagine organizing an evening worthy of the name under this budget. However, a “small” budget does not mean that your event will be ordinary.

That said, at UNEXPECTED, we believe that this inventive aspect should be an integral part of any event, regardless of its size. To do this, bet for example on a creative theme for your Summer Party. Some, such as the “Back to Childhood” or “Monochrome” theme, do not necessarily require a high budget.
If the privatization of the first floor of the Eiffel Tower is not possible, beautiful event spaces remain within your reach for an evening. Prefer them places already equipped (sound system, light, video projector...) to avoid adding services that will increase your bill.
Summer food options can easily fit into a reasonable budget. It all depends on what you cook in your bbq Or street food stalls that you will choose! Make sure that everyone eats their fill, that there is something salty and sweet, and that everything is of good quality.
Don't forget the animations. Stick to the ones that have already been proven for a long time and won't cost you too much, such as a DJ And a PhotoBooth. A molkky and a petanque court also still work!
