What’s Moving Day Like for Celebrities

Actors, athletes and musicians move, too. But moving day for a celebrity can look very different from what you experience. In fact, to avoid the paparazzi and star-struck fans, celebrities often don’t move during the day at all. And, when they do move, they go to extraordinary lengths to keep their actual move quiet and divert public attention. Here are five common practices celebrities use when moving out of one house and into another and the tips you can take from them.

They hire professional movers

They employ an entire fleet of movers

They use specialists to move valuables

They move at odd hours on moving day

They use decoy vans on moving day

If you’ve hired professional movers to pack and relocate your possessions, know when to expect them, and be onsite when they arrive. Make sure they have at least one clear route through your home and to the moving van. It’s a good idea to provide drinks and snacks and make yourself available to answer questions. At the end of the day, tip them for their services. You don’t have to, but your movers will appreciate the gesture.
