Optional Enhancements

Build outward from the base.

The additions our crews most often pair with this experience. Select any of them to see the estimate adjust — everything stays changeable in the full build flow. Fresh floral direction is selected separately in the floral section below.

FORMHOUSE does not provide alcohol. Bar staffing and alcohol service are subject to venue rules, required approvals, and licensed or insured service partners where applicable.

Fresh Floral Direction

An optional floral layer, designed to the event.

Fresh florals are never included by default — each direction below is optional, custom-designed to the event, and priced as a starting estimate.

Fresh floral packages are custom-designed around the event, location, season, and available stems. Final floral pricing is confirmed after the design direction, guest count, location conditions, and installation requirements are reviewed.

Floral scope for public-space events is subject to location rules, weather, setup access, and any required approvals. FORMHOUSE may recommend a lower-profile floral plan where structures, staking, open flame, or large installations are not permitted.

How It Works

From first call to clean strike.

  1. Confirm the ground

    Sand, bluff, or park lawn each carry their own access rules and permit requirements. We scope both before designing, and plan around them.

  2. Build for the elements

    Wind, tide, and sun angles shape the layout. Shade, weights, flooring, and power are engineered for the site, not just styled for it.

  3. Leave no trace

    Coastal and public sites are struck completely, with the ground returned to how we found it.

Locations + Planning

The place is part of the experience.

Planning Notice

Public-space planning requires time.

FORMHOUSE requests at least three weeks’ notice for beach, park, and public-space experiences. Certain locations, larger guest counts, commercial services, structures, or State Park sites may require additional review, insurance, reservations, or permits. Four to six weeks is recommended whenever possible.

  • At least three weeks’ notice for beach, park, and public-space experiences — four to six weeks recommended.
  • Every public-space plan is reviewed around location rules, site access, guest count, setup footprint, and timing before it is confirmed.
  • Power is not automatic on public sites — battery lighting, portable power, or an alternate site plan may be recommended.
  • Permits, reservations, insurance, or third-party fees may apply; final requirements depend on the managing agency.

Sites we review most often: Santa Monica · Malibu · Laguna Beach · Lacy Park · Griffith Park · Will Rogers State Historic Park · Los Angeles State Historic Park
