The chairs are brough in and either go in straight rows on average of 8 chairs wide per side with a total of 16 per row or we curve them for larger guest counts. The chairs are cleaned on site before the guests arrive. After the ceremony the chairs are taken away if at a park or used for the reception.

Question 19

Do I need a coordinator?

Answer

DIY weddings at home typically means the couple enjoys planning most of the details. We don't think a full coordinator is needed for most. If you choose a day of coordinator package from us all your detailed planning is given to a professional on the day of your wedding. No one has complained about having a coordinator that's not family becuase they're so helpful! You're busy getting married and visiting with your guests so having a person in charge is a huge blessing. We also offer a vendor coordinator which is unique to TY's. This person is only in charge of your other vendors like catering, photography, video, sound, transportation and is a nice option for those who don't need the full day of coordinator.

Question 20

Do I need generators?

Answer

You may as there are many items that require power. For example if you have a tent the lighting, sound system, restroom trailer, photo booth, catering equipment, fans. We offer a quiet power management package in which we: -Provide the generators -Set up the generators -Run power cords for all services needed -Work with any vendors who need power -On site during the wedding day monitoring they systems so you don't have to

Question 21

Why is it important to have a Plan B?

Answer

It's common for couples to invision using the entire property on their wedding day. The problem comes when the weather is poor and now they're scrambling to put everything under the shelters. We suggest plan A is using the shelters for everything. That way when the weather is nice it's easy to move outside. It's very hard and creates unwanted stress to go the other way.

Question 22

Is a budget important?

Answer

Yes, In marrage having a budget will be one of the key things you will work on. The hard part with wedding day's is that you have never done this before so you may have set a budget but are finding out you really want the added service of setup like we provide or other popular guest favor services like the restroom trailer. Here is a quick example of what can happen. I need: -Tent -Chairs -Tables -Restrooms -Catering =Budget Reality: -Tent w/sidewalls lighting -Chairs that are setup for you -Tables with linens -Luxury restroom instead of portable John -Catering with cleanup, real dinnerware -Power Generation -Day of Coordinator =More than budget now what? We strive to have the wedding day run smooth for you so don't skimp on things just to save a little bit and have your guests leave early because they're uncomfortable. Instead bring your guest count down or find creative ways to save. Our couples know that when the book with Ty's we take care of so much and the added service is way worth the cost. Visit our cost calculator for a quick estimate or call us for details.

Question 23

Do you have any planning tips?

Answer

Start with a mission for the day. What is the reason for the day? Sounds simple but it can get pushed down with all the fluff. Listen to family and friends for their ideas and concerns. Talk as a couple about what's most important and what you can do without. Make a top 10 list of most important things you want to happen. Then as the day comes close cut items that are taking to much time. Delegate to others and trust them with the task. You don't want to micro manage everything. If you do plan on being overwelmed the Tuesday before the wedding. Use our organization packge to help you plan projects. Hire our Day of or vendor coordinator.
