Local station
Crew, equipment, artwork, setup & teardown for a standard wedding window.
Straightforward numbers
Every wedding is a little different, so we quote to your day rather than list a fixed menu. Here's exactly what shapes the number, plus honest starting points so you can budget before you call.
Six things decide the price, and we're happy to walk through all of them with you:
For planning, a staffed local station starts around $5,000. That covers the crew, the equipment, artwork prep, setup, and teardown for a typical wedding window — not just the blanks. Staffing runs about $250 per hour per operator, which is already folded into that starting figure for a standard run; longer nights or a second station add hours.
For weddings outside our home region of Orange County, LA, and San Diego, a travel fee of $900 covers getting the crew and gear to your venue. Destination weddings further afield are quoted with travel and lodging spelled out up front, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
A quote from us bundles the parts that matter: a trained operator (or two), the press and hat-bar equipment, artwork setup, a clean menu and signage for the table, the blanks in your colors, and the setup and teardown around your timeline. You should never get a "station rental" price that leaves out the people who actually run it — we don't quote that way.
