Planning your dream wedding?
Don’t let these 4 bump-in and bump-out surprises catch you off guard:
1️⃣ Styling Time Crunch: A short bump-in window (e.g., 2 hours) vs. the 5 hours your styling team needs = more hands, more costs. Plan ahead to avoid last-minute stress!
2️⃣ Vendor Coordination Chaos: Cheaper isn’t always better! Multiple vendors may save upfront but cost more in setup labor. One vendor handling tables, chairs, and linens? Priceless for efficiency (and your budget!).
3️⃣ “Delivery Only” Isn’t Enough: Florals, candles, cutlery—confirm they’re included in setup, not just delivery. Surprise charges for last-minute setups can spiral out of control.
4️⃣ Unrealistic Bump-Out Times: If you only have 1 hour to pack down, is it even possible? Factor in guest departure times + potential fees for overtime, security, and venue costs.
💡 Pro Tip: Bump-in and bump-out costs can range from $500-$2,000 for most weddings. Luxury celebrations? Think $4,000-$8,000+. Budget smart, plan ahead, and keep your day stress-free!
