3. Plantation logistics you should know
- Load-in & permits: Plantation venues cap amplified sound at 10pm; we build the timeline around it.
- On-the-ground tip: Backyard installs benefit from turf-safe stakes — we bring them standard so there's no lawn damage.
- Booking season: November – April books first; graduation and prom fill April – May.
4. Realistic Plantation budget bands
- Balloon backdrops & focal moments: $500 – $2,500
- Custom tablescapes & florals: $1,200 – $6,000
- Full-service event design & planning: $6,000+
Every proposal is customized. Venue, guest count, and season all affect pricing in Plantation.
