Event planning is a thriving industry – and one that’s probably going to be a lot busier in the near future, as many events postponed due to public health concerns will soon be on the calendar again. As one of the country’s biggest urban hotspots, San Diego has its fair share of events – and, obviously, of event planners.
Event planning is an industry that benefits a lot from self storage – companies can safely store their party accessories and other items in self storage units. Compared to other storage options, such as commercial warehouses, San Diego self storage is a more affordable, simpler, and more flexible solution.
