Quick answer

Start from the venue, not the furniture list

Work backwards from guest arrival and include unloading, lift queues, assembly, linen, cleaning, handover and contingency.

Details to settle first

  • Assign a responsible person to each handoff.
  • Schedule heavy delivery and décor crews in separate working windows.
  • Get collection rules in writing before event day.
What this covers

Turn this guide into your own numbers

Take the ranges and steps in this guide and re-run them against your actual guest count, venue dimensions and event date. A guide gives you a starting range — your own measurements make it a decision.

Check where venue access changes the guide's assumptions

Access facts decide what can actually reach the room — work through the full delivery access checklist: Delivery access checklist for event furniture

  • Item names, dimensions and a current-condition reference for each piece.
  • Quantities per zone with an acceptable alternative noted beside each.
  • Who delivers, places and removes furniture, and where the handover happens.
  • Setup-ready and dismantling times mapped to the event run-sheet.
  • Collection window, deposit and any change or overtime terms in writing.
