Who Do I hire to Decorate the Venue?

Former MDLS now Mrs. K, on February 8, 2010 at 7:24 PM Posted in Planning 1 9

It may sound like common sense but I don't know what kind of company to call/hire to decorate our venue. I want to rent linens but I heard that linen companies just drop off the linens and then it's left to someone else to place all those items on the tables etc. I don't want the linens just thrown on the tables, I want someone to make the tables look beautiful. (I have no decorating skills). Who do I call for this?

    I dont know if you have money in your budget but we don't so my cousins & friends and mom will be setting everything up while I am relaxing/getting ready.

    I would as the companies you rent from if they charge a set-up/break down fee because some do & some don't & some don't even do that at all. Also, ask your venue if they have anyone to do that free of charge or that you can hire this way they are familiar with the venue

    My venue assigns an employee to assist with our wedding plans about 4 months before the wedding. Depending on how that meeting goes, I have a back up plan with my family helping..you can try a "day of" coordinator if it's in budget..I'm still thinking about hiring one.

    My family is helping but i'm a little worried that they will put things where and how I want them. I am very particular...wonder where or who we can call for a "day of" helper! I sure could use one!

    That's what a decorator such as myself does! We bring all the decorations you choose, set them up...make it beautiful, then come back at the end of the night to take it all away! Unfortunately it can be hard to find us as most of the planning sites don't have a "Decorator" category...so you might find us under Florists or Rentals. Your best bet is to do a google search for "wedding decorator, your town, your state".

    I could have my wedding planner do it but I want the place to look exceptional (i.e., someone who does this for a living). I figure this type of person would know best how to make everything look wonderful.

    Thanks Celebrations, I will have to look around in my area (too bad you're not here!!). Any vendors in the League City, TX/Houston, TX/ Galveston, TX area feel free to send me a message.
