Event Items & Equipment

Event planners can request available event supplies and services in advance of an event. Event-related items include lecterns, pop-ups/backdrops, chairs, tables, etc. You can request Moving Services to deliver, set-up and pick-up the reserved event items and equipment. Based on your event location, they may also be available to move or rearrange existing furniture to accommodate your event.

Grounds Maintenance

The Grounds Maintenance department also supports event needs for both indoor and outdoor events. You should request Grounds support for the following:

  • Mowing the lawn and maintaining trees, shrubs and flowerbeds
