Milestone Birthday — Pärnumaa

Decide the venue six months out if you can. A milestone in Pärnumaa means a converted barn, a manor an hour from the main road, a lakeside house with no loading bay. The rig arrives from Tallinn the afternoon before — longer if the spring road is out — and the crew walks the site looking for the panel, the route that will not wreck the lawn, the room for the cases during service.

Three months is workable. Six weeks means we are solving for what is already fixed: the room you have, the power that is there, the guest flow you cannot change. The earlier the brief, the more the production can bend to the occasion instead of the other way around.
