Weekend tent setup
& breakdown for vendors
Your tent goes up. Your back stays fine.
Vendors Valet is the weekend crew for market and expo vendors across Michigan. We arrive before doors open, set up your tent and booth, and come back at the end of the show to break it all down. You bring the tent and gear — we bring the muscle.

Vendors
What the booths say
“I used to get to the fairgrounds at 5am and fight my canopy alone. Now I show up at 8 and my booth is standing.”
“They broke down three booths of furniture in the rain and never complained once. Worth every dollar.”
“Same-day quote, on-time crew, careful with my inventory. That's the whole job and they nail it.”
