Stress-Proof Your Event Week: 5 Logistics Nobody Warns You About

Your vendors are confirmed, your timeline is set, but the week leading up to your event still feels like controlled chaos. Here’s the thing: even the most organized people get blindsided by logistics that nobody talks about during planning.

Here are the five curveballs we see every event week:

• Load-in musical chairs — Vendors  handling multiple events each day request to shift their load in time. For venues like The Allan House that need a staggered arrival time or the Riggs Hotel that has strict elevator protocols, this isn’t always an advantage.
• Weather backup dominos — One tent decision affects catering setup, guest flow, and vendor power needs.
• Guest coordination gaps — From your new hires to Great-aunt Martha who needs pick up details, but have not been in the main communication loop.
• Last-minute headcount shifts — Plus-ones confirm (or bail) 48 hours out, throwing seating charts into scramble mode.
• Vendor communication blindspots — We’re the medium to make sure your florist and caterer who are focused on their own operations all week, have the perfectly timed schedule to produce your vision.

Our six-week coordination process tackles these exact scenarios before they derail your day. We map vendor choreography, build weather contingencies, and create communication systems that keep everyone in the loop.
