Services

Everything it takes to get from concept to strike.

BonKaï offers four core services — booked individually or bundled into a full production package. Below is exactly what's included in each, plus straightforward starting-at pricing so there are no surprises on the first call.

01

Concept & Strategy

Before any vendor is booked, we define the single idea every design and logistics decision will get measured against — so the event has a spine, not just a mood board.

  • Goal-setting session with stakeholders
  • Guest experience mapping, arrival to departure
  • Success metrics defined up front
  • Written creative brief you keep, even if we part ways after this stage
02

Spatial & Production Design

Floor plans, lighting, rigging, and build-outs designed around a room's actual architecture — so the space does some of the storytelling for you.

  • Scaled floor plans and traffic flow
  • Lighting and AV design direction
  • Custom build-out and fabrication specs
  • 3D renders for anything guests will notice first
03

Vendor & Budget Management

One spreadsheet, one point of accountability. Caterers, AV, rentals, and talent are booked, contracted, and held to spec — so nothing gets confirmed twice or missed once.

  • Vendor sourcing and contract negotiation
  • Line-item budget tracking, updated weekly
  • Single invoice on your end, regardless of vendor count
  • Payment schedule and deposit management
04

On-Site Direction

Someone on headset who wrote the run of show — so when the timeline changes at 6:40pm, the whole room adjusts with them instead of around them.

  • Minute-by-minute run of show
  • Load-in through strike supervision
  • Vendor and staff point of contact for the day
  • Real-time timeline adjustments as the event runs

Good to Know

Frequently asked questions.

Is there a minimum guest count or budget?

Most Full Production events start around a $15,000 total event budget, but Design Consult and Day-Of Direction packages work well for smaller gatherings. If you're not sure which fits, send the details and we'll point you the right direction.

How far in advance should we book?

8–12 weeks is comfortable for most events; galas and multi-day activations are better at 4–6 months out. Rush timelines are sometimes possible — ask on the first call.

Do you travel outside Boston?

Yes — BonKaï works nationally. Travel and lodging are billed at cost and itemized separately in every proposal.

Can we book just one service instead of a full package?

Absolutely. Each of the four core services can be booked on its own, or combined into a custom scope that isn't one of the three packages above.
