What a first build could look like in Ellsworth
Envision an Ellsworth tent, string-lighting and event-rental company along High Street delivering sailcloth tents, custom farm tables, portable flooring and dance floors to coastal weddings on Mount Desert Island and the Blue Hill Peninsula. We would build an interactive guest-count and tent-layout price calculator, an inventory reservation board that prevents double-booking gear, and crew loading checklists.
