What's Included in Vendor Scheduling
Services
🔹 1. Vendor Contract Review
We begin by reviewing all vendor contracts and service agreements to understand:
Scope of service
Arrival and strike times
Setup and power requirements
Payment terms and final balances
Any special requests or dependencies
This step ensures nothing is overlooked and helps us plan realistic schedules and expectations.
🔹 2. Vendor Communication & Liaison
We’ll take over communication with all vendors starting 3–4 weeks before the event. This includes:
arrival times and service details
Sharing the final event timeline
Sending detailed load-in/load-out instructions
Answering vendor questions and resolving conflicts
Notifying vendors of changes or important updates
From florists and DJs to food trucks and photographers, we make sure every vendor is in the loop and on the same page.

Vendor arrival and departure times
Assigned load-in windows
Setup and teardown durations

This ensures a staggered, efficient flow of vendor activity—no traffic jams or overlapping chaos.
🔹 4. Venue/Vendor Coordination
We work closely with your venue coordinator or manager to:
Align vendor schedules with venue policies and access times
Power availability, loading dock use, elevator access, etc.
Avoid violations of venue rules (e.g., décor restrictions, noise ordinances)

Why You Need Vendor Coordination
Even the best vendors can’t do their jobs without clear communication, access, and scheduling. Here’s what happens when vendor management is handled poorly:
🚫 Vendors arrive late or at the wrong time
🚫 Miscommunications about location, power, or table placement
🚫 Overlapping setup windows cause delays
🚫 Vendors contact YOU during the event for answers
🚫 Timeline goes off-track due to misaligned services
When you hire us, you avoid all of that.
