The Church rental was FREE well I just tithed a little extra to make up for using the space. The church usually charges $150 to non-members to use the church. (I know cheap right? they call it home for a reason folks!)
The Reception Rental was also cheap $848 total that was broken down like so
- Basic Venue $350
- $25 an hour day of the event (we used 8hrs) from the time your vendors arrive until they leave. Caveat here is Friday you can be in there FREE all day, we set everything up Friday. The DJ and The Caterer also came Friday and set up as much as they could.
- $25 per day Kitchen Rental
- $35 Parachute Rental (that is what was hanging from the ceiling)
- $150 Black Drape Rental (around the parameter)
- $2 per rectangle table (rented 8) $4 per round table (rented 18). (rented chairs elsewhere)
Total Budget was $500 for Reception Rental, but I think in the end we came out ahead once all was said and done. We were there 2 full days and save ourselves A TON of $$$ doing it that way.
Wow !!! Quite interesting & reasonable cost of reception rental. Is there any discount on total rental cost? Grad Night Rentals San Diego
ReplyDeleteNo there was no discounts given it was ala carte style.
ReplyDeleteWhere was your reception held?
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find parachute rentals and black curtain rentals in LA?
ReplyDeleteLove this so much! I'm with Angie... Where do you go to rent parachutes? I've tried "google-ing" it, but no luck yet.
ReplyDeleteHello! The Parachute, and black drapes belonged to the venue we used. The Venue is "The Center" in Springfield, TN. You might be able to check with your local air guards, or armory's to see if they have one you can borrow/rent and hang for your event? It was a wonderful touch!
ReplyDeleteI have tried to find "The Center" in the yellow pages and have had no luck. Would you have a web link for them?
Deletehttp://www.springfield-tn.org/parks/index.html#center ... Too late now, but for other people's reference.

ReplyDeletethese parachutes are HUMONGOUS! Like dropping tanks from the sky large. We held ours up by a crane and made a wicked leaf-pit arena. did they have like the basics of a tent frame up? i'm curious as to how they were able to frame it. Was this outside or indoors? either way, your set up was gorgeous and probably unforgettable. <3

Was the parachute white or the regular "army green"?
ReplyDeleteI agree with bwd160, he says "it's already beat", which is why the guys in the room are so positive, because he's basically saying that whatever the circumstance, he's already beaten it mentally, even if not officially or medically.
