Established Full-Service Event Design and Production Company
$ 775,000
Main Street Realtors’ Business Opportunity Division Presents: Established Full-Service Event Design and Production Company Family-owned firm with deep community roots spanning multiple generations. Includes tradename, client/vendor lists, social media accounts, professional vehicle fleet, equipment, tools, uniforms, vast lighting equipment, warehouse deck and racking, plant and tree inventory and an expansive inventory of specialized props, lounge furniture, and décor. § Financial Overview: · Offered at $775,000 · Current Inventory Value: Approximately $700,000+ in specialized assets included in the asking price. § Overview: This award winning, premier event design and production company has been under current ownership since October 2004. Specializing in a broad spectrum of events—including weddings, graduations, anniversary parties, tradeshows, proms, corporate events, and Mitzvahs—the firm manages every detail from theme and design development to budget control and timeline management together with a noble repeat client list. The company is known for its immersive approach, coordinating everything from corporate galas for 1,000 guests to intimate gatherings of 40. Operations are supported by a primary facility of 12,000+ square feet and an additional 1,100 square foot shop space. § Key Highlights · Generational Reputation: Family-owned with deep-seated community roots. · Turnkey Infrastructure: Includes established websites, social media accounts, and a professional fleet (2 cab-over Box Trucks, flat-bed golf cart and 1 Ford Van). · Specialized Asset Base: Extensive inventory of themed props, décor, lounge furniture, and lighting. · Growth Potential (Floral Division): A major opportunity exists for a new buyer to re-establish the floral department. This high-margin revenue stream is currently dormant following the passing of a long-time manager, representing immediate "low-hanging fruit" for expansion. · Retirement Opportunity: Current owners are retiring, offering a solid operational foundation with significant room to scale through formalized digital marketing. § Business Details · Staffing: One full-time manager supported by a skilled team of 13 part-time employees. · Facilities: Primary facility lease ($5,400/mo) is fixed through May 2027; secondary shop space is leased at $1,150/mo. · Service Mix: Historically driven by short-term rentals and service fees ($543,301 in 2025 YTD), with weddings accounting for approximately 8.4% of current revenue. · Inventory: Significant current inventory valued at $675,000; the most recent balance sheet shows over $61,000 in props and $89,000 in original vehicle costs. § Opportunity The business is perfectly positioned for a creative entrepreneur or an existing event firm looking to expand into a turnkey, full-service operation. The recent drop in floral activity provides a clear path for a new owner to immediately increase gross margins by re-staffing that department. With a high-value, specialized inventory and deep roots in the California market, this firm offers a rare entry into the premium event production industry at a price supported by a massive asset base. Full financials and additional documentation are available upon signing an NDA.
