Set-up starts when the team arrives at the venue with flowers, vases and structures, and ends with the last touches before the guests arrive. It can take an hour for a small wedding or a full day for hanging installations and large events. Timings depend on the venue: some only open on the day itself.
In the quote it is a line that is easy to misread: sometimes included, sometimes listed separately by staff and hours, sometimes with surcharges for night work or difficult access. The guide to set-up and breakdown explains timings and costs; the one on how to read a florist's quote shows where to find it; the one on flowers for large events talks numbers.
What to ask: what time the team can get in, how many people will be setting up, whether there are surcharges.
