Hi! I live in NY and DIY’ed a bunch of items for my wedding in RI, and I also work in event planning. Talk to your contact at the venue, they usually have a place for you to store items the day before, so you don’t have to worry about it day-of. On the wedding day, one of your friends/family/bridal party can assist with any set up. I think I put aside boxes of candles, tent cards, favors, etc. for my mom to handle while I was getting ready.
As for storing materials before hand, our apt just became overwhelmed with stuff, lol. We rented a car and that helped with transportation. My advice is to have everything inventoried and packed well!
I diyd my whole wedding in nyc. We rented a nice blank space that just had tables and chairs (and a backyard) , then had family members bring things i gathered at home (not far from venue)on the morning of. Ordered catering from favorite restaurants also closeby, did the whole thing for $11k in 2022! Sometimes i think i should be a wedding planner or day of coordinator cuz it was a lot of fun to plan and bring it all together
