Tiers rather than individual quotes
Quoting each event separately adds a step that gets skipped when a coordinator is busy, and the skipped step produces an under-resourced recovery. Defining two or three tiers by expected attendance, with a stated crew size and duration for each, lets the coordinator book at the same moment the event is confirmed. The pricing is known and the decision takes seconds rather than days.
Tiers should be defined by what generates work rather than by event name. Attendance numbers, whether catering is involved, whether the event uses outdoor areas and whether it runs past a certain hour are the variables that matter. Two events with the same name can produce entirely different recoveries, which is why the tier is set by characteristics rather than by title.
