Decor Setup & Teardown

A HYBRID WEDDING PACKAGE OFFERING

Your wedding day should be spent sipping champagne and making memories — not hauling boxes of candles, place cards, or signage. Too often, couples rely on family or bridal party members to handle décor, which can be stressful and time-consuming. With Epoch Events, you can let go of the logistics while our team handles every detail of your décor setup and teardown, allowing you and your loved ones to be fully present in the moment.

What’s Included

With our Décor Setup & Teardown service, we make sure your vision comes to life from start to finish:

  • Complete décor setup for your ceremony and reception — tablescapes, signage, favors, candles, guest book, escort displays, personal touches, and more.

  • Coordinated placement of linens, chargers, rentals, and other design elements in collaboration with your venue.

  • Styling that matches your floor plan and wedding aesthetic, down to the smallest detail.

  • End-of-night teardown and packing of all décor, so your items are organized, safe, and ready for pickup.

  • Communication with your vendors to ensure nothing is overlooked or misplaced.

How it Works

Plan Together: Before the wedding, you provide your décor items and design notes, and we’ll finalize your floor plan and décor details together.

  • We Set the Scene: On the wedding day, my team arrives early to style, set, and place everything so the space looks exactly how you imagined.

  • Enjoy the Celebration: You and your family can soak in the day without worrying about setup, details, or the clock.

  • Pack & Protect: After the last dance, we carefully tear down and pack everything up, leaving the venue spotless and your items safely boxed.

Why Hire a Coordinator for Decor Setup?

DIY décor setup may sound simple, but in reality, it can take hours and pull your closest friends and family away from enjoying the morning with you.

Our team knows how to style quickly, efficiently, and with an expert eye for detail. From ensuring candles are lit at just the right time, to aligning place cards and fluffing linens, we take care of the things you don’t want to be worrying about.

By including décor setup and teardown in our coordination package, you’re not only saving stress, you’re investing in peace of mind.

  • A: Décor items (candles, signage, linens, etc.) are supplied by you or rented from a vendor. My role is to make sure everything you’ve chosen is set up with care and styled perfectly according to your plan. If you’d like vendor recommendations for rentals or styling, I have an extensive vendor list I share with my clients.

  • A: My team and I typically arrive when the venue grants us access, which is often several hours before your ceremony. We coordinate timing with your venue manager to ensure we have enough time to set up thoroughly and without rushing.

  • A. There are a few things that simply are not the most efficient use of our skills or expertise. We appreciate every client who respects these boundaries and takes advantage of our skillset in its intended scope.

  • A: Yes! We carefully pack all décor at the end of the evening or the next morning (depending upon venue regulations) to make sure it’s organized and ready for pickup or transport. This is one of the biggest reliefs for couples and families — no one has to stay behind at midnight to clean up.

  • A: That’s wonderful — we’ll work alongside them to ensure the set-up is in line with the vision that has been established. Venues usually handle the basics like tables, chairs, and linens, while we focus on the design details: signage, candles, centerpieces, place cards, etc. Together, it creates a seamless setup.

  • A: It depends on the scope of your wedding. For most weddings, I bring one or two assistants with me. Larger weddings or décor-heavy setups may require more hands, which I’ll arrange ahead of time so everything is covered.

The Art of the Details

While our Décor Setup & Teardown package outlined above ensures your wedding flows seamlessly, some couples desire an added layer of artistry — guidance not just in logistics, but in the creative details that make a celebration unforgettable. That’s where our Design Assistance Add-On becomes the perfect complement.

What This Includes

  • Curated Design Consulting: Together, we’ll refine your color palette, textures, and aesthetic direction, ensuring your wedding reflects not just a theme, but your unique story.

  • Thoughtful Décor Sourcing: From heirloom-worthy linens and modern chargers to candles, signage, and statement pieces, I’ll guide you toward selections that elevate your event design while remaining true to your vision.

  • Tailored Vendor Pairings: Beyond my expansive vendor list, you’ll receive curated recommendations for florists, rental companies, and specialty artisans who align with your desired style and sensibility.

  • Visual Mood Boards & Mockups: For those who want to see the design come to life in advance, I craft visual inspiration boards or digital mockups to provide clarity and confidence in your design decisions.

Why Couples Choose This Service

  • A cohesive, elevated look across ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

  • Expert curation that replaces overwhelm with confidence.

  • Assurance that every detail — from the grandest statement to the smallest accent — supports the overall design story.

  • The luxury of knowing your creative vision is stewarded with as much care as the logistics.

The Best Part?

Design Assistance is seamlessly paired with our coordination services. The same team that helps you refine your vision in the months leading up to your wedding will be the ones styling, perfecting, and bringing it to life on the day itself — down to the very last candle flame.
