3 Tips for a Fast and Easy Quote

Tip #1: Schedule early - first come first serve!

Within 7 days = rush fees. We get booked weeks to months in advance, and may not be able to take on all short-notice projects. In addition, we often hire subcontractors to fill out your event crew and acquire additional high-end equipment where needed. The more time we have to thoughtfully select these, the better.

Tip #2: Provide us with as many accurate details as you can, as soon as possible.

It helps if you give us as much of the following as you can:

  • Event Name

  • Date/time(s)

  • Event schedule/run-of-show

  • Location/venue(s)

  • Information about your technical needs

  • Dimensional floor-plan(s) of the venue

  • Electrical ratings of the circuits in each room

  • What onsite services other vendors are providing

  • If you have any other photographers, videographers, or press planned.

  • The media you wish to display

  • Special requests

Tip #3: Schedule a date at the venue with us and your other vendors to do a site visit.

We’ll send a preliminary estimate before a site visit, but even once you have that initial estimate, a site visit could change things quite a bit (or not at all). Due to the unknown of every new venue, a short visit to scope things out is necessary for a smooth production experience. Read more about the importance of site visits here.
