Contract value

$150,000

No monetary value is disclosed. A comparable Marine‑corps‑ball A/V contract at a high‑end hotel typically ranges from $75,000 to $250,000 depending on equipment complexity, crew size, and duration. Considering the prestige of the event, the need for a full production crew, and the exclusive nature of the vendor, a reasonable midpoint estimate is roughly $150,000. This estimate assumes a single‑day performance with standard A/V package (lighting, sound, video, stage) and includes labor, equipment, and travel costs.
