Event Set Up/tear Down

Has anyone hired staff (not provided by your venue) to set up and tear down decor? My venue books by the hour and I'm debating between adding on time for our rental (we currently have the venue starting at 2pm for a 6pm ceremony) or trying to find staff who could decorate and help tear down at the end of the night, because I think our timeline is a bit tight right now. I don't want to rush getting ready or have friends/family not enjoy themselves because we're stressing about getting decor up.

If you did hire a crew, where from? How much did it cost? How long did you hire them for?

Our day of coordinator will be handling set up, take down, and clean up for our wedding. We have her for the entire day.

I didn't have to but your on the right track. My aunt married in August and most of just our family tore down and packed up at the end of the night. It was horrible. The guys in the family actually said "if I knew I had to do work I would've stayed home." It's just not cool to have ya guests working hard even if they are family.

I'm a floral designer, I'm lucky enough to have friends that are also floral designers, helping with the set up.

My friends and family members will all help with the break down as well.
I owned a Florist for many years and my family is well trained in the set up/ break down method and none of them will mind at all.
The set up and break down was included in my prices for my brides. I did not and don't charge extra, since it is part of the process, in my opinion.
Will your florist set up and break down, for an additional fee? Good luck to you! I'm sure it will work out fine whether you hire someone, or your friends and family help out.
Congratulations!❤

I hired a day of coordinator for set up but in hindsight I should have gotten a clean up team too

Yes, my day of coordinator, who is coordinating from 10 AM to 1 AM (next day) and 4 Pm to 5 PM (rehearsal) was $1400, plus 3 hours of consultations
