You’ve seen the headline: “Celebrities, they’re just like us!” Sure, they have to move too, but you won’t catch them struggling with packing tape. They leave the packing to the pros. While most folks are wrangling boxes and wrapping plates in old T-shirts, stars call in full-service movers (that’s us) to pack everything from couture gowns to crystal chandeliers, without breaking a sweat or a single glass.
As the go to celebrity moving company, we’ve handled moves for A-list celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Diana Ross and even Miss Piggy (yes, her accessories required their own boxes). Now, we’re pulling back the velvet rope and revealing our insider packing tips, so your next move can be just as organized, seamless and red carpet ready as a Hollywood A-lister’s. Ready for the tips we use to keep Hollywood’s elite stress-free? Lights, camera… label that box.
What Makes a Celebrity Moving Company Different?
It’s not just about big names, it’s about next-level service. Celebrity clients trust us because we treat every move like a production: carefully choreographed and handled with absolute discretion. From custom crating artwork to using eco-friendly materials that would make any Oscar after-party proud, we bring red carpet standards to every detail of the moving process.
But here’s the real secret: luxury moving isn’t about excess, it’s about taking the stress out of moving. Moving peace of mind starts with choosing the right movers and making sure your items are packed safely. The best movers make the process seamless with luxury services that cover every detail.
Celebrity-Worthy Packing Tips (That You’ll Want to Steal)
Just because you’re not starring in a blockbuster doesn’t mean your move can’t have main-character energy. These pro packing tips will make you a star on moving day.
Use Wardrobe Boxes Like a Stylist
Why fold when you can hang? Wardrobe boxes are the behind-the-scenes heroes of every red carpet move. Forget the suitcases or trash bags, these specialty boxes come with a built-in hanging bar, so your clothing goes straight from the closet to the box without missing a beat. They keep your garments wrinkle-free, your closet organized, and your designer pieces safe in transit. Use the space at the bottom for shoes, hats or scarves. Bonus: unpacking items from a wardrobe box is as easy as transferring hangers back into your new closet. No ironing required.
Pack Like It’s Going on Instagram
Celebrities love consistency, especially when hopping from home to home. That’s why our Photo Perfect Packing™ service is a go-to for high-profile clients who want everything set up just so in their new space. Before packing begins, we snap photos of shelves, vanity layouts, even cable setups, so we can unpack and reassemble everything exactly as it was, no confusion, no chaos.
You don’t need an entourage to do this. Snap pics of your tech setups (TVs, modems, monitors) and your favorite layouts or shelves before you pack. Refer to these images when setting up your new home to keep that certain “je n sai quoi” that feels like home. Or, skip the guesswork and let us recreate the setup for you. Your every move might not be documented by paparazzi, but your move can still be picture-perfect.
Choose Eco-Friendly Packing Materials
Being green isn’t just for glam fundraisers and Malibu beach cleanups, it should be a part of our everyday life. Ditch the plastic wrap and opt for sustainable packing materials like recycled packing paper, biodegradable eco-bubble and moving boxes made of 100% recycled materials. You’ll protect your belongings and your planet.
At NorthStar Moving, we curate eco-friendly packing materials that make your move smoother and smarter. And if you return or reuse your boxes? We’ll give you a discount. Saving the Earth and saving money? Now that’s a move worth a standing ovation.
Donate any Unwanted Items, Because Giving Is So Chic
Packing for a move is the perfect time to edit your home inventory. Instead of hauling your old clothes and unused items into your new home, take a cue from your favorite style icons and donate them. Many celebs are known for donating their designer pieces for a good cause. Whether it’s fashion, books or décor, your gently used goods can go to local charities doing meaningful work.
We partner with organizations like Goodwill and Trashie to make donating effortless. Donating your unwanted clothing, furniture, old electronics and non-perishable food items, helps reduce waste and puts these items into the hands of those who need them. It’s the feel-good kind of decluttering, and the most stylish way to lighten your load.
