In the last couple of years, there have been many changes in Sophie's Stress Free Soirees world. Sophie and the business excitingly have moved to Sacramento. With that being said, our starting budget for parties and events in the Bay Area is $5,000.00. Parties in the Sacramento area will be priced accordingly. Pricing is determined by guest count and activities chosen. Additionally, we are going back to what we do best and we will be focusing on creating fun interactive crafting tables for the young and young at heart. Throughout the years we have worked with some really amazing decorators and vendors that we are happy to recommend.

PRODUCTION

Every party requires a great deal of preparation to organize all the supplies necessary. This one-time, flat fee will increase depending on the amount of guests and activities.

Production Fee - $350 - $500 (minimum/for up to 20 kids)

VENUE/VENDOR RESEARCH

We have relationships and contacts with virtually any additional service you might need, from venues to cakes. Should you require us to research venues or vendors (performers), note that a fee of $30 per hour will be charged accordingly.

DISTANCE FEES

The Stress-Free part of your Soiree begins when we bring everything to you. With Sophie's move  out of the Bay Area, we do charge a distance fee of $250. Distance fees will be assessed for bridge tolls and surrounding counties. Any parking fees are additional. 

After these initial costs, everything else is a la carte and tailored to fit your needs. You can select from décor, crafts, goodies, tables & chairs, venues, and paper goods. These are all priced separately. Once your event is confirmed, we provide you a proposal with all the prices.

Proposals are customized by theme, so we can give you lots of ideas for any party you want!

(Note: We are NOT a caterer. We do NOT prepare food and/or cakes.)

Note about Décor:

We do NOT have any decor packages to offer at this time, besides Harry Potter. Should you wish for décor, we would purchase for you. We’ll charge for the product at market value, plus a $50.00 service fee for finding/ordering/purchasing supplies.  The decor belongs to client after the party is over.
