Your world-class day
deserves a best-in-class
teardown.

We're here for you!

We're here for you!

After years in the wedding world (behind the scenes, in the chaos, next to the flower wall), we saw a pattern: people spend months planning the perfect day… only to be left holding trash bags and zipties when the candles burn out. That’s where we come in.

We specialize in event breakdowns done beautifully, with a calm confidence you usually only see in wedding planners before the ceremony. We know the difference between a rented table and a borrowed one. We know how to handle leftover florals, glassware, lighting rigs, and all the weird-but-wonderful bits in between. And yes—we know where the extension cords go.

Now we show up with calm, capable energy—and get it done. From teardown and cleanup to floral breakdowns, rental returns, donation drop-offs, and keeping everyone out of the dirt in their dress shoes, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re a DIY couple, a fellow vendor, or a family trying to wrap the night with grace, we’re here to take the stress off your plate.

We’re a family-run business built on hospitality, hard work, and heart.
We care deeply about supporting local businesses, showing up with integrity, and building something lasting—

for our family, and for yours.

Testimonials

Thank Breakdown Co for making things easy!

Ever since I started working with Jess & Nic from The Breakdown Co., I could never go back to doing it on my own. It’s beyond a huge relief knowing that after I worked SO hard for the entire week on a client's wedding, I can rest easy after the day of setup is done, knowing that a professional team will handle the breakdown. I don’t have to worry about going back that night or anything in between. They take care of all the flowers, whether it’s donating them, repurposing, or composting, and handle any leftover garbage for me as well. I wake up the next morning with my U-Haul parked in my driveway with all my items neatly organized and ready for me to put away in my studio. Saves me COUNTLESS hours of time and energy. I also know the venues we work at love them, knowing everything is going to be handled at the end of the night, no questions asked. I HIGHLY recommend their service, it is worth every single penny!!! Thank you for existing, Breakdown Co!!

FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers!

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

Look, we know planning a wedding (or any big event) comes with a lot of moving parts—and even more questions. That’s why we broke it down (pun absolutely intended) and built this FAQ just for you.
Whether you're wondering how late we’ll stay, what we’ll lift, or whether we’ve ever accidentally knocked over a cake (spoiler: nope), this is where you'll find all the juicy details.

Do I need to be there during setup or breakdown?

Not at all—that’s what we’re here for. Once we have a clear plan and timeline from you or your vendor team, we’ll take it from there. Whether you’re getting ready, recovering from the night before, or already headed home, you can trust us to get it done exactly as discussed.

Do you only work weddings, or other events too?

While weddings are our specialty, we’re happy to work any event that needs a helping hand—birthdays, corporate events, showers, or large private gatherings. If it has tables, chairs, florals, or rentals… we’ll break it down.

Can you coordinate with my venue or other vendors?

Absolutely. We’re used to working alongside venues, caterers, planners, and florists to make sure everyone’s cleanup expectations are aligned. We’ll happily connect in advance to coordinate timing, logistics, and access.

How late will your team stay on event night?

We offer both same-night and next-day breakdown services. For night-of cleanups, we typically arrive 30 minutes before guest departure and stay until the job is complete. For late-night events, we’ll work with your planner or venue to determine the best timeline.

Are you insured?

Yes! The Breakdown Co. is fully insured, and we’re happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) if your venue requires one. We also carry liability coverage and can add vendors or venues as additionally insured upon request.

Have a big event coming up and you want it to go seamlessly? We know what to do.

Whether you're planning the wedding of your dreams, hosting a backyard bash, or putting on a full-blown production, The Breakdown Co. is your behind-the-scenes dream team. We're fast, reliable, and borderline obsessed with making your day run smoother than you thought possible.
