However, there are consistent requirements during the week.

Saturday involves loading in all rental items (bars, furniture, stages, drapes, etc.) and installing a curated design. The venue can be a hotel ballroom, a banquet hall, an outdoor tent, or many other on-site event locations.

If all goes well, the event load-in is completed by 3 pm, and there is a break for the day.

A return would be between 10:30 pm and midnight to unload and strike the event into the trucks. Every effort is taken to remove events the next day. Two days a week off is the norm.
