How Much Does Event Planning Cost in Pittsburgh?
Full-service planning, décor-only, or DIY supplies — the price depends on how much you want us to handle. Here's what each level typically costs in 2026.
If you're pricing out help for a party, shower, wedding, or corporate event in Pittsburgh, the honest answer is: it depends on how much you want us to handle. Some clients want full-service planning from start to finish; others just want their space beautifully decorated; others want to grab supplies and DIY. At Party on Butler we do all three — so here's what each typically costs in 2026.
How Our Planning Process Works
- Consult — we talk through your vision, budget, guest count, and venue.
- Custom design + mock-up — you see exactly what you're getting before you book.
- Clear recap & next steps — we send a written summary of the design, pieces, and timeline so nothing gets lost.
- Delivery & install — we arrive pre-inflated and set up on-site.
Hosting at Our Event Space
Throwing your event at our Blawnox event space? We offer combined space-plus-decoration packages, so your venue and styling come from one team — one less vendor to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a party planner cost in Pittsburgh?
Full-service event planning generally starts around $2,000–$3,000+ depending on scope and guest count. If you only need part of the help, we offer partial/hourly coordination and décor-only packages at lower price points.
Do you offer packages and payment plans?
Yes. We have tiered styling/décor packages (one popular option is around $950), plus à la carte add-ons, and we can split a package into two payments.
Can I get décor without hiring a full planner?
Absolutely. Plenty of clients book just a balloon arch, centerpieces, or supplies — no planner required.
What's included in a décor package?
It varies by package, but table linens and table décor are typically add-ons unless specifically listed. We'll spell out exactly what's included in your quote.
Do you plan showers and corporate events?
Yes — showers, milestone birthdays, graduations, and corporate events are core to what we do.
