Important News Regarding Rental Agencies
Memo B
On November 1, 2005, the Museum decided to name Savannah Special Events as the designated rental agency for the Museum. They have had extensive experience over the years in renting tents, tables, chairs and other items to our rental clients and have done so with a great deal of expertise and reliability. They also stock equipment purchased specifically for our garden, and can use their computer-assisted-design system to show you how your plans can best be realized within our garden.
Your contact at Savannah Special Events is Linda Fullarton (912-944-6200.) She is intimately familiar with our garden and can give good advice as to its best use to meet your needs. An added advantage of our exclusive relationship is that it ensures more effective and comprehensive communication between the Museum and a single rental vendor, and simplifies tent installation issues... the standard tent is up for a good portion of the rental season, making it easier for individual adjustments to be made and eliminating a possible source of deadline anxiety for the renter.
Renters of the garden are still free to choose all their other vendors, and may rent linens and tableware from either their caterer or Savannah Special Events.
Wendy Melton and Tony Pizzo will continue to be your Museum contacts from initial enquiry through the signing of the contract, and Linda will coordinate rental logistics. A narrative of each event along with a completed Vendor Checklist and garden floor plan are generated in advance of your event in order to keep the important details easily available and on record. We are happy to answer your questions at any time and will continue to work together closely to assure seamless planning for your event.
Sincerely,
Tony Pizzo
Director
Ships of the Sea Museum
