Include setup and clear-up
Explain when the site opens for suppliers, when guests arrive and when the area becomes clear again. The rental dates may need to cover more than the advertised event hours.
Coordinate with the venue
Review placement, vehicle entry, accessible routes and any site-specific permissions with the responsible organiser. Confirm utilities for the proposed trailer or washing arrangement rather than assuming connections will be available.
Give someone ownership of the handoff
Name a reachable contact who knows the agreed location and can arrange access. Discuss how service issues, timetable changes and final collection will be communicated during the event.
Your La Porte enquiry checklist
- When can suppliers enter?
- Which position has venue approval?
- Who handles changes on the day?
La Porte enquiries should name the actual site entrance as well as the property address. Where a site uses separate staff, visitor or delivery gates, identify the route that the rental team is allowed to use.
