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.

The environment in detail.
How It Works
From first call to clean strike.
Start with the numbers
Twenty-five to fifty guests means real inventory — table count, seating zones, and surface area are planned from the guest list, not guessed.
Walk the site on paper
We review the layout and access — load-in paths, ground conditions, and how guests move between zones — before the plan is fixed.
Final proposal before booking
Final proposal required. Pricing may adjust based on guest count, layout, access, event duration, permits, and selected add-ons.

Four to six weeks is recommended whenever possible.
