Other setup requirements would be specific to the engagement–timing, location, and venue featuresand/or obstructions.

Other engagements could require a facility walkthrough prior to the event to ensure proper consideration and preparation for the event.

We aim to maximize each opportunity, while respecting our clients’ desires.

  • We recommend the bride get a good night’s sleep as much as possible. Additionally, to maximize the opportunities of the day, we recommend the bride be the first to be ready. So, she should be the first to get her hair done, have her make-up done, and be ready to put her dress on once our team arrives. Additionally, she should have her cheerleaders by her side to hype her up and keep her energized throughout the day.
