Christening — Läänemaa

The van pulls up beside a manor house forty minutes west of Tallinn, and the first question is always the same: where does the power come from? A christening in Läänemaa means generators, not wall sockets. It means unloading on grass, not concrete. The nearest shop that stocks a replacement cable is half an hour back the way you came.

Budget moves with distance and infrastructure. Drive time is billable. A diesel generator costs more than a wall plug. Crew meals between load-in and the ceremony add hours you do not see on the invoice. Sound and light stay the same size, but the hidden costs — the ones that double when the venue has no loading dock and no mains — are what we scope early so nothing appears later.
