What it is

A full-time decor company with a rented unit for stock and preparation, a van and a small team. You offer complete packages including large mandaps, stages, floral walls, draping, lighting and entrance features for multi-day Asian weddings.

Your first three steps

  1. Build a portfolio of real events and gather testimonials, then set out clear package tiers with prices
  2. Find a unit with suitable access and storage, and get quotes for a van and for stock such as mandap frames and lighting
  3. Arrange regular supplier relationships with venues, planners and florists, and line up reliable freelancers for set-up days
Who pays

Couples and families planning larger weddings, plus banqueting halls, venues and wedding planners who hire you as a regular supplier.

How it makes money

Higher-value packages per event, add-ons and delivery, and repeat work with venues and planners. Peak income comes in the busy wedding months, so plan cash flow for quieter ones.
