The Barn of Emory gives you the best bang for your buck. The Barn has hooks, set on the balcony backdrop frame for you to use to decorate with at the altar or on the stage…. Or why not both!
All hands on deck to set up. When you are deciding how much to DIY and how much to hire out. A few things to think about.
· Did you book enough time at your venue to set up before getting dressed or will you need volunteers to help or hire a Day of Decorator?
· Are you organized? You will need to make sure you pack your décor in a way that allows for those helping to set up quickly and easily.
· Will you need to rent a trailer to get everything there from one place and returned home to one place? YES DO THIS!! Do not put items in different cars coming from different places because items will get lost, forgotten, and may never make it to the venue or back home.
· Have a plan to pack, a plan to set up, a plan to clean up, and plan to get everything home! Plan- plan- plan!
· Is a Day of Decorator worth it….. YES!!! Pros are there to help you bring YOUR vision to life quickly and efficiently while family or friends may change things on a whim because Aunt Susie thought it would look better a different way. There is always one.
· Will your Day of Coordinator set up….. not if it’s not in their contact.. They may need to bring in extra staff depending on how much you are requiring of them. If it’s just final touches, they may help, but if it is installing arch floral, linens, complete set up…. No that will be an additional charge.
· Does your venue have a coordinator included…. Ask if they are really just the venue liaison that is only there to show you where the light switch is and make sure you do not damage the venue or are they a hands on… help YOU with set up, telling vendors where to go and where to set up…. There is a difference so make sure you ask and know what exactly you are getting. The Barn has an Event Day Venue Coordinator that will help upload, but full set up duties are the responsibility of the client. We can offer vendors to assist with set up services upon request.
