### Why Professional Setup Makes Sense
Because **your time is worth more than struggling with gazebos** and your party shouldn't start with you being knackered and sweaty.

Good to Know
> 🎉 **Setup AND takedown?** Book both - you won't want to deal with it after the party. I'll come back next day and clear the lot while you nurse your hangover. **Hired equipment?** Make sure delivery is scheduled before my setup time. Can't assemble a gazebo that hasn't arrived yet. **Decorating yourself?** I'll do the structural stuff (gazebo, furniture, lights hanging), then you can add personal touches like tablecloths, flowers, etc. **Devon weather unpredictable?** Always. I'll make sure everything's weighted and secured properly. Light rain won't stop setup, but high winds might need rescheduling for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions about Summer party setup in Ottery St Mary
What does summer party setup actually include?
Put up gazebo or marquee, arrange tables and chairs, hang lights or bunting, position BBQ or serving areas - whatever you need to transform the garden into party-ready space. Think of it as the heavy lifting and setup grunt work.
How far in advance should I book this?
Ideally a few days before your party, but I can often help same-day or next-day if you're in a panic. Earlier booking means I can schedule properly and not rush it.
Can you take it all down afterwards too?
Yes - we can do setup, or takedown, or both. Most people want setup the day before and takedown the day after. I'll quote for whatever you need.
What if the weather's awful on the day?
That's partly why you're paying me instead of wrestling a gazebo in the rain yourself! I'll get it up securely whatever the weather. If conditions are genuinely dangerous (high winds) we'll need to reschedule.
Do I need to provide the gazebo and furniture?
Yes - I work with what you've got or bought. If you need to hire gazebos or furniture, sort that separately and I'll come and set it all up for you.
