A. Personal decor that is included in normal set up would be items like, welcome sign, card box + signage, guest book + signage, in memory of items, toasting flutes, cake knife, server and topper, a few personal pictures, escort carts/seating chart, favors, send off items and bar signage. These items should all be able to fit in 2-3 storage bins. A client moves into the DIY category when they choose to make and provide their own centerpieces and have a lot of personal details they plan to provide instead of hiring a vendor such as a florist or specialty rental company to provide. An additional assistant or two will be required to ensure there is enough time and attention to detail to set up your items as you envisioned. A copious inventory list with pictures detailing how and where to set each item up will be required. At the end of the event, all items will be packed up and placed into the agreed upon vehicle or storage place.

A. If they are a licensed and insured business and you have made the decision that they will be a working and paid vendor at your wedding and not a guest, by all means! We only work with vendors that have the appropriate liability insurance. This is to protect ourselves, the vendor, the venue and you! We also recommend to clients to have that discussion with their friend who happens to have a wedding related service -- do they want to be a vendor or do they want to be a guest -- it’s impossible to be both and do their job effectively.
