Made to order · with or without plant rentalsExplore planter boxesFive distinct rooms plus galleries under one roof, from a concert-scale main floor to a 360-degree projection box. Each one asks something different of the greenery, and treating them the same is how plants disappear into the background for the wrong reason.

The Midway gives you concrete, LED, projection, and a sound system that means it. What it doesn't give you is softness, and that's the whole job. We plan the plant scheme around where guests actually stand — the entry, the bar lines, the photo wall, the stage edge — rather than scattering greenery evenly and hoping. Every order is planned by the same people who style it on the day.
Dates, which rooms, and the look you want. A floor plan and your production schedule let us quote against real load-in times rather than guessing.

What planners and producers ask us about working events at the complex.
Yes. We rent live plants for company holiday parties, office celebrations, employee appreciation events and corporate dinners. Think welcoming entrances, greenery around the bar and relaxed lounge areas. Share your date, venue and preferred look so we can confirm the plant selection, drop-off and pickup. Your team handles placement. See our corporate holiday party case study for a real example.
Yes. We deliver to The Midway at 900 Marin Street for launches, conferences, activations, and show nights across every room, scheduled to your confirmed load-in window. Delivery is a separate one-time $500 charge, and we confirm the window against your production schedule before we quote.
All of them — The Ride, Gods & Monsters, the CarreSel projection room, the heated Patio, the Observatory rooftop, plus the galleries and entry. One order can cover several rooms at once, which is usually cheaper than treating them separately.
Send your event schedule, receiving point and venue requirements. We confirm drop-off and pickup windows before booking; your team or authorized venue labor handles interior movement and placement.
Yes. We're fully insured and send COIs directly to the venue and your production company ahead of load-in, with whatever additional-insured language is required. Send us the requirements and we'll handle the paperwork.
Plant rental starts at a $3,000 minimum per event. Pricing is per plant for your agreed rental duration, with planters included. Delivery is a separate one-time $500 charge. Longer rentals are quoted for the full period from drop-off through pickup. Your itemized proposal confirms plant selection, quantities, service responsibilities and the total before booking. A single-room reception typically lands between $3,000 and $6,000; full-complex takeovers and multi-room conferences run larger.
Yes, if they're specced for it. Big glossy foliage catches stage light instead of disappearing into it, and in the CarreSel we keep profiles low so the projection lines stay clean. We walk the room once your lighting is up and move anything that isn't reading.
Both are outdoors, so we spec differently — sturdier plants, heavier planters, and lower profiles for the rooftop where the wind comes through. Tell us which areas are outside and we'll plan for the exposure rather than discovering it on the day.
Yes. We spec hardy material, water and groom everything before delivery, and one rental price covers up to three days. We don't staff on-site watering during events; for longer runs, confirm a suitable selection and care arrangements with your receiving team.
Four to six weeks is ideal, and the fall conference and holiday-party season books out earliest. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway — we'll tell you straight away what's possible rather than leaving you waiting.
We swap it. Let us know promptly and send a photo so we can arrange replacement timing with your event team, based on venue access and availability. Your approved rental terms set out how damage and replacement are handled.
Full payment is due upon receipt of your invoice. Your approved proposal and invoice set out the payment terms and any agreed event-specific exceptions.
Yes. Custom wooden planter boxes are made to order and yours to keep, with or without plant rentals. Standard rental planters remain included with your plants; custom boxes are purchased separately. Explore custom planter boxes →
