Planning out your event's budget can be a daunting task. Midwest Christian Retreats has prepared a simple balance sheet that will help you plan your expenses, income sources, and assist you in identifying the price per-person you'll need to reach in order to break even.

In most instances, the apparent difference to the event planner is the price structure, most Christian Conference Centers work on package plans (per person price for the entire retreat), whereas Hotels charge a rate per room, meeting room, and meals.

There is a real danger in booking events so close to date. The availability of the conference center tends to be limited, and finding speakers can be harder as well. Things that you wouldn’t think of such as type of lodging, menu available, and the “extras” such as recreation and complimentary AV can be extremely limited by this time as well.
