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. Pick the place and time

    Tell us the date and the spot — a beach, a park lawn, or your own backyard. Public spaces get a location review before the date is confirmed.

  2. Choose your details

    Start from the Base Set and add what the occasion calls for — one upgrade package (Essentials, Styled, or Signature), florals, or printed details. Setup and delivery + pickup are always their own line items, so the price stays legible.

  3. Arrive to it finished

    We deliver, build, and style the setup before you arrive, and return for standard pickup at the end of your rental window.

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.
