Frequently Asked Questions

Does Event Staff manage fog and microclimate delays that affect outdoor ceremonies?

click down

Yes. Our field teams track forecast layers across Golden Gate Park, Civic Center, Mission Bay, and UCSF Parnassus and calibrate start times, stage covers, and guest routing accordingly. We pre-stage wind screens, rain-safe cable runs, and alternate seating blocks so crews can flip layouts within minutes. Radios stay on a shared command channel while zone leads confirm visibility, sound checks, and floor safety before guest release. The practical result is an orderly ceremony that continues smoothly even when the morning marine layer turns to wind or mist mid-program.
