Review celebration discovery

Pricing · One published launch model

The website, discovery, portal fee notes and referral preview share the 5% standard fee, $199 event minimum, $50 credited deposit and lower marginal tiers. Checkout remains off.

Please try: Compare the pricing explanation in discovery and the client information page. Check that professional invoices remain separate.

Review client-launch pricing

Portals · Consistent context and clear availability

Sample navigation preserves the selected event. The client sample profile stays in the sample, and both audiences can compare real-account tools with advanced demonstrations.

Please try: Switch between sample sections and paired client/professional views. Confirm the same event stays selected and open the availability guide.

Review the client sample

Professional samples · Visual Composer

New room, photo and blank-canvas starting points; editable objects, palettes, layers, draft recovery and branded presentation versions.

Please try: Build a small focal setting, move and recolor its pieces, save it, and share a frozen version with the fictional client.

Review the Composer

Client samples · Shared Composer presentations

View only versions deliberately shared from the professional sample. Review decisions stay attached to the exact version.

Please try: Switch to the paired client view in this tab. Review a shared presentation, request a change, then compare it with the next version.

What happens next + client fees

Preparing your brief is complimentary. After the public client launch, Fête Matches and profile browsing will also be complimentary.

A one-time $50 introduction deposit per event will open direct conversations and consultations. It is credited toward the total Fête booking fee—not added to it.

The standard booking fee is 5% of the combined pre-tax professional services booked for your event through Fête, with a $199 minimum per event. It is one Fête fee for the event, not one fee per professional.

Scaled pricing & a worked example

Larger events use lower marginal rates: 5% on the first $100,000; 4% only on the portion above $100,000 up to $250,000; 3% only on the portion above $250,000 up to $500,000; 2% only on the portion above $500,000. There is no hard cap.

Example: $10,000 in eligible professional services → $500 total Fête booking fee. After the $50 deposit is credited, $450 remains to pay Fête.

Each professional sends and collects their own invoice through their normal system. The Fête booking fee is separate.

No client introductions, introduction deposits or payment checkout are enabled during the professional pilot. No payment is collected here.
