Only one company can say it has been involved with 18 consecutive presidential inaugurals, along with dozens of gubernatorial inaugurals nationwide.
Inaugurals present multiple challenges: a tight turnaround schedule, multiple events in separate venues, coordination of diverse agencies and vendors, and absolute completion requirements for a high caliber celebration. Planning typically begins at the end of December, leaving approximately one month to produce the numerous events most inaugurals include.
From creative ideation to budget management, Hargrove regularly provides end-to-end services for inaugurals, including theming and graphic design; décor and fabrication; detailed space planning; technical and audio-visual oversight and management; installation labor scheduling and oversight, and comprehensive attendee way-finding services. We create a unified and cohesive experience at all official events.
