DISMANTLE + PACK UP - SAME DAY
It’s all very exciting planning the set up and decor of your reception venue. One of the last things on your mind may be what happens after the reception is over. Quite often more popular venues will either have same day or next day “bump out” rules in place for your event
This means having to find a friend or relative who’s able to pack up your decor on your behalf. If this is all too much detail for you to handle, then allow us to help. We’re able to come along and pack down your reception for you following your event, or the next day
*fee is subject to requirements
$649 + GST | Includes: Same day/next day pack down (depending on venue). We are also happy to return and deliver items back for you - price will vary with amount of equipment. Dismantle + pack up service can only be booked in conjunction with either a full day or half day on-the-day coordination package
