Wondering about a Rain Plan?

This video is really helpful and shows a Flip of the Ballroom from an indoor ceremony (Plan B) back to the Reception Floor (Plan A). We are able to add the Flip Labor $1000 fee, the week of up to 24hours prior. e. This allows the ability to host your ceremony inside the ballroom, and keep your guests comfortable and dry. Our staff will then Flip the ballroom back to your reception floor plan. On average it takes 25-55min depending on complexity of layout. PRO TIP: Once you add the Flip Labor fee, you can also let us know up to 3 hours prior to your ceremony time on the wedding day if you decide you want it flipped early and set the ceremony up back outside. Last, it is important to know that if you have a Band, you may want to consider adding draping to the stage to conceal your performers until the reception.
