Time-lapse video: Setting up the big dinner tent.
If you are wondering about the green patch - flooring a NFL football field isn't cheap, and this area couldn't be seen by guests so we opted to save the money and not floor it.
Events like these demand a quick turnaround and a coordinated vendor arrangement:
The floor goes down on Monday,
Tuesday, one tent goes up,
On Wednesday, the second tent goes up and the carpet goes down.
Thursday, the tech gets installed.
