EVENT DESIGN PROPOSAL
The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · CONCEPT AND DESIGN
Discovery, creative direction, mood-boards, color palette, floor plan, and lighting design. Phase closes with a full design brief and visual presentation for approval.
PHASE 2 · VENDOR SOURCING AND PRODUCTION
Sourcing and contracting florals, rentals, lighting, and specialty fabrication. Production schedule built with every vendor, plus load-in and load-out logistics locked in.
PHASE 3 · ON-SITE EXECUTION
Day-of production management: crew supervision, install and styling, vendor coordination, and on-site problem-solving through strike. You focus on your guests while we run the floor.
Not included: venue fee, catering, entertainment, event insurance, and tips or gratuities for vendor crews. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Event Design Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
