About Seaside Setups LLC

Alex Oklesson

Owner - Lead Setup & Breakdown

Seaside Setups LLC handles the hands-on side of Florida Keys weddings: décor setup, tablescapes, signage, ceremony-to-reception flips, chair and décor moves, vendor support, and end-of-night breakdown and repacking. We’re perfect for DIY and semi-DIY couples who already have the vision but don’t want family or friends working on the wedding day. From Key Largo to Marathon, we bring calm, reliable execution to the details behind the scenes—so you can enjoy the celebration while we handle the setup.

Seaside Setups fills the gap between planning the wedding and physically making the wedding happen. Couples often have a planner, venue coordinator, rental company, florist—or a beautifully organized DIY plan—but still need people responsible for the actual hands-on execution. That's us. We specialize in the invisible work behind a beautifully finished event: unpacking, placing, styling, moving, adjusting, troubleshooting, flipping spaces, gathering everything at the end of the night, and repacking it so it goes home the way it arrived. Our goal is simple: Your guests should see the wedding. Not the work it took to build it.

In three words: Confident, Efficient, Organized

Seaside Setups LLC packages

"Set the Scene" - Setup Only

Description

For couples who have the vision, décor and plan—we provide the hands to bring it to life. Includes placement of client/vendor-provided décor, signage, welcome areas, ceremony details, tablescapes, candles, chargers, napkins, table numbers and finishing touches. Final pricing depends on décor volume, guest count, venue access, setup window and staffing required.

Setup + Ceremony Flip

Description

Everything in Setup Only, plus hands-on ceremony-to-reception transitions. Ideal when chairs, décor, signage, florals or other approved elements need to move during cocktail hour. We coordinate the physical transition so you, your family and wedding party can enjoy the celebration instead of becoming the moving crew.

Setup + Breakdown

Description

Full wedding-day setup within the agreed scope, plus end-of-night breakdown, gathering of client-owned décor and careful repacking. Ideal for DIY and semi-DIY couples who want professional execution at both ends of the wedding day—without assigning setup or midnight cleanup to friends and family.

Breakdown Only

Description

Already have setup covered but nobody wants to deal with the aftermath? We return at the agreed time to break down client-owned décor, gather designated items and carefully repack everything within scope. Perfect for couples who want their family and wedding party leaving the reception with them—not carrying centerpieces to the parking lot.

    Set Up, Stress Down

    Working with Seaside Setups LLC has been fantastic for our venue and the couples we serve. Alex has excellent communication skills through consistent email updates, which keeps everyone on the same page leading up to each event. What really sets him apart is his willingness to handle the heavy lifting on setup day—Alex takes on the bulk of the labor so our planners can focus on their jobs and bring brides' visions to life. His detailed approach and creative problem-solving mean couples feel genuinely confident that everything will come together exactly as they imagined. Alex's positive attitude and work ethic have been instrumental in easing the stress for both planners and brides alike. I highly recommend Seaside Setups to any venue looking for a reliable partner who genuinely cares about making events special.

    When people think about wedding vendors, they usually think about the photographer, florist, DJ... but after our wedding, I can confidently say that Alex with Seaside Setups was one of the most valuable people of the weekend! Before our wedding weekend even began, Alex made destination wedding planning SO much easier. As a part of the services we contracted him for, we were able to ship countless boxes of wedding items directly to him ahead of time. If you're planning a destination wedding, you know how stressful it can be trying to figure out how to get everything there. Alex took that stress completely off our shoulders. He kept us updated throughout the process, communicated every step of the way, and handled our many (many 😅) packages with care. We had Seaside Setups with us for all three days of our wedding weekend! From our welcome party, to the wedding day, to our farewell brunch and I truly don't know how people have weddings without a service like this!!! One thing that was incredibly important to us was making sure our destination wedding felt like a vacation for our friends and family. We've been a part of many weddings where family and the bridal party spend hours setting up décor, running errands, and tearing everything down afterward. We were determined not to have that same experience and because of Alex, we didn't have to! Our planner, Lyndsey Mae, recommended Seaside Setups, and we were so grateful. Alex was such a vital part of making our weekend run so smoothly. He was constantly jumping in to help, taking care of the countless little tasks that most people never even realize are happening behind the scenes. He was hardworking, attentive, proactive, and always seemed to be one step ahead. Knowing he had everything under control gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to simply enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend! By the end of it all, Alex felt less like a vendor and more like a friend. We are beyond grateful for everything he did to make our wedding weekend so seamless, and we'll never forget how much he contributed to making it the best weekend of our lives. If you're getting married in the Florida Keys, trust us- you need Alex and Seaside Setups on your team. We truly can't recommend him enough!! Thanks buddy🤙🏼

    Bri, this review means more than I can properly put into words. Thank you for trusting me with your packages, your plans, and all three days of such an important weekend. Knowing that you, your family, and your friends were able to enjoy the Keys instead of spending the weekend setting up, running errands, and packing everything afterward is exactly why Seaside Setups exists. Working alongside you and Lyndsey Mae was an absolute pleasure, and by the end of the weekend, you and your crew felt like friends to me too. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of it all. It was an incredible weekend that I will not forget. Thanks, buddy. 🤙🏼

    Alex was recommended by our wedding planner to assist with setup and storage leading up to our destination wedding, and we truly cannot imagine how we would have managed without him. From the very beginning, he was responsive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. As we were traveling from New York, having the ability to ship items in advance and have Alex securely store them until the wedding was incredibly valuable and made our trip to the Keys significantly less stressful. His support throughout the planning process provided tremendous peace of mind. Alex played an instrumental role in bringing both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day vision to life. His attention to detail, reliability, and strong work ethic were evident throughout the entire event. Time and again, he went above and beyond to ensure everything was executed seamlessly. We highly recommend Seaside Setups to any couple planning a wedding or special event. Alex is dependable, trustworthy, resourceful, hardworking, and genuinely great to work with!!

    Alex is absolutely amazing!! He made my daughter’s wedding day stress-free for everyone. He also set up everything beautiful and flawlessly. I don’t know what we would have done without him. Thank you, Alex!!

    You’re welcome :) and Thank you Jessica!! ☀️ I am so happy to have been a part of y’all’s day 🤙🏻! It was wonderful to have the opportunity to be there. 🌴


Not in the traditional sense. Seaside Setups specializes in wedding-day execution, décor setup and breakdown rather than full-service wedding planning. We work beautifully alongside planners and venue coordinators, and we're also a great fit for organized DIY couples who have already created their plan but need a professional team to physically execute it.
Our primary service is setup and breakdown of décor provided by the couple or their wedding vendors. Depending on the event, certain equipment or logistical solutions may be available, but we are intentionally different from a traditional décor-rental company.
Absolutely. That's one of our specialties. If you've collected signs, candles, lanterns, frames, centerpieces, table décor and sixteen extremely well-labeled plastic bins—we already like you.
Yes. We regularly work as the hands-on execution team supporting planners, coordinators, florists, venues and rental companies.
Yes—and we highly recommend planning for it before the wedding day. We can return after or remain through the agreed breakdown window to dismantle décor, gather client-owned items and carefully repack everything within our contracted scope.
Yes. Ceremony-to-reception flips and décor moves can be included in your custom scope.
Yes, when approved by the venue and included in the agreed scope. Tell us exactly what needs to move and when so we can make sure the event is staffed appropriately.
Very often. Florida Keys weddings are our home turf. Outdoor setups require extra attention to wind, weather, access, timing and materials, and we account for those conditions when planning the execution.
As soon as you know you want professional setup or breakdown support. Our capacity is intentionally limited because each event requires a dedicated crew and specific setup/breakdown windows.
Send us your wedding date, venue, approximate guest count and whatever you currently know about your décor and logistics. Photos, Pinterest boards, setup instructions and spreadsheets are welcome. We'll review the scope, ask any necessary questions and provide a custom recommendation and quote.
Florida Keys wedding décor setup, ceremony-to-reception flips, hands-on event execution and end-of-night breakdown. You plan the details. We make them happen—without putting your wedding party to work.
