£per event
For UK event agencies and suppliers
An event brief lands.
You need an accurate cost yesterday.
We’ve been there.
That’s why we created The Ballpark.
We’ve got you.
Upload a brief. Ballpark turns it into an editable, supplier-backed estimate - then carries it through enquiry, contract, payment and delivery.
How it works
From a vague brief to booked suppliers
Six steps, one workspace. Nothing is re-keyed and nothing is lost between email threads.
0101 - Upload your brief
Upload your brief as a PDF, DOCX or plain text. Sit back whilst The Ballpark extracts key details like dates, access, guest count, venue and deliverables, with confidence levels and source excerpts.
0202 – Get your Ballpark
You'll get an instant Ballpark built from our approved supplier offerings. Your Ballpark is completely editable, with intelligent assumptions behind every line item shown.
0303 - Not quite right?
Not entirely happy with the suggestions? Tweak your brief, or explore our unique supplier marketplace for more ideas, inspiration and choice.
0404 – Enquire and negotiate
Through The Ballpark you can now send your structured enquiries, which are grouped by supplier. Every price revision will be explained, is versioned and auditable. Easy!
0505 – Sign a statement of work
Happy with your costs? Accepted proposals will generate a versioned contract with scope, dependencies, exclusions and change control. Both parties sign.
0606 – You pay 50%, your suppliers deliver, you pay the rest
The deposit turns the engagement into a live project workspace. The rest of the balance is due at the agreed delivery milestone.
The marketplace
AI powered by real costs from our network of incredible suppliers
Every cost is backed up by ballparks by real suppliers. We'll ballpark it instantly then connect you to the supplier to firm up costs.
