Wedding Day Staffing Plan

12:00 PM – Staff Arrival & Outdoor Setup

Our venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces . The ceremony will take place outdoors on the lawn, followed by hors d’oeuvres and cocktails in the tent.

Upon arrival, we will need staff to assist our decorating/setup team with:

• Setting up and decorating the cocktail tables in the tent.
• Setting up the bartender’s table on the balcony .
• Ensuring the tent, balcony, cocktail area, and other visible outdoor spaces are completely set and photo-ready by 1:00 PM .
• Assisting with additional decorating and setup projects as directed.

Guests will begin arriving at 1:00 PM and will be directed toward the lawn for the ceremony.

1:00 PM – Transition to Main Dining Hall

By 1:00 PM, the four staff members should transition into the main dining hall and begin setting up the reception tables.

The ceremony will begin outdoors at 2:00 PM , which gives the staff approximately two hours to complete the dining hall without guests occupying the space.

We will provide reference photos showing exactly how we want the tables arranged and decorated , and we will also have additional people assisting your staff.

The main dining hall must be completely set, decorated, and ready by 3:00 PM .

At approximately 3:15 PM , guests will be invited into the main hall to find their seats and begin the dinner portion of the reception.

3:15 PM – Tent Transformation

Once guests are seated for dinner, your staff will not be responsible for serving or waiting tables . Our catering team will handle all food and table service.

Your staff will return to the tent and begin transforming it for the African dance and celebration portion of the wedding .

This will include:

• Setting out a limited number of chairs and tables.
• Setting up the backdrop/main focal area.
• Moving and adjusting décor as directed.
• Preparing the space for the next portion of the reception.

They will have approximately two hours to complete this setup while guests are having dinner inside.

Approximately 5:30 PM – Guests Return to the Tent

Around 5:30 PM , guests will be ushered back outside to the tent, where the DJ will open the dance floor and we will begin the next portion of the celebration.

Once guests have exited the main dining hall, your staff should return inside and work alongside the catering team to:

• Break down the tables.
• Remove table décor and other items.
• Assist with cleaning the main dining hall.
• Make sure the hall is completely cleared and left clean.

6:30 PM – Bar Breakdown

The bar will close at 6:30 PM . At that time, the bartender can begin breaking down and cleaning the bar area.

By 7:00 PM – Completion

Our goal is to have the main dining hall completely cleaned and cleared by 7:00 PM .

Once these responsibilities are completed, your staff may leave. Our team will take care of the remaining cleanup in the tent.
