It’s true what they say, when it rains it pours.
We could never have imagined the heartbreak that came in the early hours of yesterday morning. The rain that fell, while welcomed, was too little too late, as our warehouse was already engulfed in flames. 80% of our equipment with it. Chairs, tables and marquees. Disco balls and fairy lights. Plates and glasses. Celebrations and good times. Hopes and dreams. Up in smoke.
Hundreds of thousands in damage, our confidence shaken and our business in ashes, we find ourselves lost for words. Damage includes two brand new clear marquees, chairs and tables and electrical equipment, and the list goes on. We hope for the best and extend our deepest gratitude to the individuals and businesses who have extended offers of support. We also want to acknowledge the 35 CFS volunteers who attended the property yesterday, and the thousands across the state and country who attend properties each and every day for your hard work in keeping the community safe. There are no words.
To our existing clients planning parties, weddings, engagements and more, if your event is impacted know that we are working to contact each of you individually to discuss implications and solutions. As always, we aim to deliver a service second to none and our endeavour to do so has not wavered. Thank you for your support, understanding, and patience.
At the beginning of the year we took on this business knowing there would be risks and challenges, but we could not have anticipated this. We are not seeking any charity. We only ask that you share our story, remember our name, and when you’re ready to let the good times roll pick up the phone and give us a call.
Onwards and upwards.
The team at SA Marquees Weddings & Events.
