Exclusive In-House Rigging Contractor
Aerial Rigging, Inc., is the exclusive in-house rigging contractor for the Renaissance Orlando at Sea World. Our primary obligation is to ensure that all rigging is carried out in a safe efficient manner. We must approve your rigging design to ensure that it is efficient and that it does not exceed approved loads.
We are responsible to install and dismantle all your equipment needs that require rigging. We are responsible to the hotel to ensure that we respect the structural limitations of the meeting rooms as established by their engineers, and to safeguard all the hotel equipment and installations. Aerial will exclusively provide all necessary chain hoist motors and rigging supplies. All signs, banners and decorations must be hung by Aerial.
We encourage you to download the CADs of the Ballrooms. During your design phase, please contact us regarding the specific rigging requirements for your event. We are very happy and available to conduct site surveys. We will request, 14 days prior to load in, a plot plan showing all lighting, audio, video, and scenic equipment that requires rigging. Your drawings can be faxed or e-mailed to us in DWG, DWF, or EPS format.
Aerial will submit a quote detailing our estimate of the cost of the work to be performed and services to be provided. Clients must sign and return the quote prior to any work performed or services provided. We fully understand that running an event can be very stressful. It is our objective to provide you with all the cooperation, technical assistance, labor services, and equipment you require, while at the same time discharging our responsibilities to ensure adherence to OSHA safety requirements and the need to safeguard the assets of the Renaissance Orlando at Sea World. We appreciate your business and promise you that we will do everything in our power to ensure the success of your event.
