Yes, please refer to the last page of our rentals brochure for our current list of vendors. Our preferred Creative Producing partner is Stratus Firm, and we highly recommend engaging Stratus to produce your event, given their familiarity with our galleries, kitchens, and museum layouts.
No. While our AV staff may be engaged to manage AV specifically for your event, other staff from The Phillips Collection are not available to produce your event. All clients must designate their own event producers who will oversee and direct vendors the day of the event. Our team will liaise with your vendors in advance to prepare for the event and clarify timelines and expectations. (NB: Memorials are excepted from this limitation; our staff is available to assist families in serving as the primary producer of rentals that are made for memorial services.)
