Teardown for wedding?

My vendors and venue are doing teardown included in the price

I paid my caterer an extra labor fee to have the catering staff set up and break down all rentals.

There's actually a company in my area called "The Butler Did It!". You can hire them to do whatever you need! Grill, cook, serve, bartend, set up, tear down, etc. It's a set fee per hour per person no matter what you hire them to do. Maybe you can find a company like that where you are. You wouldn't need them for long so it wouldn't cost much (well, if they are as reasonably priced as the company that I found is!!). Good luck!

Thanks ladies! This is great help

You do not want to haveta touch anything on your day if it has to do with tear down....

My day-of wedding coordinator is doing setup/teardown.

Sometime family is willing to help--but that may be burdensome, because you want your friends and family to have a good time--not be on clean up duty.

It also depends on the size of your wedding, and what exactly needs to be tore down as far as chairs, tables, decor etc.

I know our vendors aren't touching anything that doesn't belong to them. They don't want the liability if something get's broken. I would ask your vendor if it's included first, if not how much would it be for them to come and get their stuff. The additional cost may be worth it for peace of mind.

Thanks! @Brittney and @Shileta, I definitely agree with you, and am not looking to lift a finger if I can help it, and also would prefer that guests don't need to either.

My venue does it automatically, but my mom is staying behind to make sure I get everything back that's mine (banners, favors, etc.).

Our reception venue does it cause it's at a hotel banquet hall but our ceremony site doesn't...I'm hoping the cleaning faries will come do it aka I really need to figure something out!

Our catering company gets all their stuff out (food, plates, etc) but we have to do all the set up and tear down of the tables, chairs, linens, etc. Thankfully we decided to go with the package that gives us 4 hours the day before for set up, and 4 hours after for clean up. We are enlisting out friends and family to help- but we don't feel to bad because it isn't on the actual wedding day.

What time is your wedding ending? I think that would be a big part of if you should try and do it yourself or hire someone. if you are having an afternoon reception that ends at like 3, you can all go home and take a nap, then come back at 6 it might not be so bad. but if your reception ends at 7 or 8 at night i'd look to hire someone.

Ceremony starts at 4pm, reception ends at 9:30pm, both in the same location.

We don't have the option to do anything until the day of our wedding, and the park closes at 10pm which means everything needs to be spotless at 10:30

Hahaha.. a nap would be ideal!

My mom has 7 sisters.. when I asked her about it her response was Lthats what aunts are for" lol.. I would talk to your vendors about their fee if it's not quite in your budget ask a few family members to help out!

My vendors and venue are doing teardown included in the price too

Our chair rental price includes delivery, set up, and tear down... Keep looking because I wouldn't want to deal with that on my wedding night.

Fortunately our tear down is included for most everything but my baker asks that one of the family members washes, and returns the cupcake stand that we will be using for our cake. I would suggest family if it isn't already included in your fees for renting, if it isn't in your budget.

Leticia,

I just looked at that venue myself and love it...most likely will choose it but have plenty of time

Anyway, just an FYI they mentioned a 30 min grace period so youhave till 10:30PM.
