Live events are a different animal: production schedules, crowd flow, vendor rows, weather calls and a strike that has to happen the same night. We build the physical infrastructure — stage, tents, tables, lighting — so your production team can focus on the show.

Cle Elum and the Suncadia corridor are some of our busiest weekends of the year. Mountain weather changes fast up here, so nearly every Cle Elum wedding we build starts with a properly engineered tent, a level dance floor, and a lighting plan that still works after the sun drops behind the ridge. Swiftwater Cellars is one of our most-booked venues — we install our black and white dance floor there almost every weekend — and Suncadia Resort keeps us on call for corporate events, brand activations, and large weddings all season.

  • Frame tents for vendors, VIP, merch and first aid
