How much do your services cost?

The cost of services varies based on several factors. The size of the crowd we are catering to can affect how much equipment we need to prepare, transport, set up and breakdown, which in turn dictates how many crew members we need to schedule that day. Since every event is unique and every crowd is different, we need to understand all the details to properly quote you.

The best way to get a quote is to fill out our contact form. We are also happy to set up a virtual meeting to be sure we understand what you need so you aren’t missing any of the services you want and that you won’t be overcharged for services you don’t need.

How does payment work? How much is the deposit? When is the balance due?

In the proposal you receive, the deposit will be 50% of the total. The deposit is non refundable and will hold your date. The balance will be due 30 days before the event.
