For over fifty years we’ve been Southwest Florida’s largest event planning and production business — a seamless operation of management, associates and specialist departments working together to deliver on-time, quality service for every client. Here’s how the team is organized.

On-site Staff
We continue to build and maintain a seamless operation with management, associates, and all departments working their utmost in supporting our business activities — providing “on-time” and quality service to all our clients.
The Design team owns theme direction, event layout, décor, customized special effects, ice sculptures, and interactive games and inflatables — drawing everything to your specific venue and guest experience.
Our Consulting team handles pre-event consultation, destination management, themed events, event marketing and public relations, sponsorship design and wedding planning — the strategy and coordination behind every engagement.
Production manages invitations, caterers, entertainment, décor, floral treatments, rentals and on-site event staff — the operational machine that turns design into a delivered event.
Rentals team stewards the largest tent and canopy inventory in Southwest Florida — plus tables, chairs, tabletop, staging, lighting, pipe-and-drape, bars, climate control and every other category we stock.
Our expert event installation team handles on-time delivery and breakdown, keeps a 24-hour on-call staff, maintains a professional appearance, and is fully licensed and insured.
Event-day staff are in radio contact with one another on-site, coordinating every aspect of the event so transitions happen on cue and problems are solved before you’d notice them.
Our certified team of premier wedding consultants works closely with brides, grooms and their families planning every wedding from engagement to reception — client-centered focus, every bride our only customer.
Behind every event is a management team that keeps the departments in sync — scheduling crews, contracting suppliers, handling permits, coordinating billing, managing the showroom and making sure nothing falls between the cracks.
Every engagement moves through the same predictable cadence — and at each gate the relevant department hands work cleanly to the next, so you only ever need to talk to your lead.
Your Consulting lead meets with you to learn about your organization and the event at hand — the conversation that grounds every decision the rest of the team will make.

Consulting answers theme ideas, servicing and personnel questions, venue guidance and scheduling concerns — working through every piece up front so nothing surprises you later.

Consulting prepares a written review of the meeting, then hands off to Design, which begins the outline of a plan tailored to your successful event.

Once the design is locked, Production contracts all suppliers, coordinates pre-event meetings with Installation, supervises setup and does final confirmations on every detail.

Installation has the venue ready ahead of event day. On-site Staff take over for the event itself — radio-coordinated, professional appearance, coordinating every aspect while you enjoy the event.

When the event has ended, Installation handles cleanup, Operations pays the suppliers and takes care of the venue, and Consulting schedules a post-event analysis to help plan next year.

Professional appearance
Common questions about the team, how we’re structured and how to reach us. Don’t see yours? Call 800-421-2393.
Every engagement starts with a Consulting lead who stays with you from the first meeting through the post-event review. When the project moves into Design, Production or Installation, the relevant department joins — but your Consulting lead remains the single point of contact you can always call or email.
Our installation and on-site event crews are our own employees — not subcontracted labor. That's how we maintain professional appearance, on-time delivery, 24-hour on-call availability and consistent quality across every event.
Yes. Our installation team is fully licensed and insured. We can share current insurance certificates with your venue, planner or HR team on request.
