Rigging equipment is the most important.
In a building, if it is not clear that rigging is possible from the ceiling, I would need to check the building myself.
If it is not safe to rig, aerials is not possible. The alternative is renting a standing rig. That would be a separate expense. The standing rig, is also suitable for an outdoor space.
If the building is riggable, I would need to check the building myself, get information from the building, have ample time before the event to rig my equipment, (this may possibly be the day before the event) as well as time after the event to take down the rigging equipment. This may come at an extra cost.
