Backdrop & Draping Hire in Surrey, Sussex & London
Looking to transform a room without completely changing the venue?
We provide backdrop and draping hire for weddings, parties and corporate events across Surrey, Sussex and London.
From wall draping and starlit backdrops to ceiling draping, sails and Grecian swags, we can help create the look you’re after and take care of the installation.
Draping that changes the look of your venue
Draping can completely change the feel of a room, whether you’re looking to cover a plain wall, create a backdrop behind the top table or add a little more atmosphere to your venue.
We provide a range of draping options for weddings, parties and corporate events, including wall draping, starlit backdrops, ceiling draping, sails and Grecian swags. We can also add fairy lighting to create a softer look or bring a little more detail to the finished setup.
Every venue is different, so we’ll work with you to decide what will work best for the space and the look you’re trying to create. We can also liaise with your venue team where needed and take care of the installation for you.
Draping options for your event
There’s more than one way to use draping, and the right option will depend on your venue and the look you’re going for.
Wall draping
Create a softer backdrop around the room or in a specific area, whether you’re looking to frame your top table, dance floor or another part of the venue.
Starlit backdrops
A popular choice behind the top table, cake table or dance floor. The small lights create a warm backdrop that works particularly well for evening weddings and parties. We also provide black starlit backdrops, which can work particularly well behind staging, DJ setups and bands.
Ceiling draping and sails
Draping doesn’t have to stay on the walls. Ceiling draping and sails can help break up larger spaces and add something to rooms with high ceilings or open areas.
Grecian swags and overlays
Grecian swags and overlays can be added over your draping to create a more decorative finish and add extra detail to the room.
We can talk through the different options with you and work out what will suit your venue, your plans and your budget.
Draping for weddings, parties and corporate events
Draping can be used in all sorts of settings, from creating a backdrop for your wedding breakfast to adding definition to a larger event space.
For weddings, draping works particularly well behind the top table, around the dance floor or as a backdrop for your cake and photographs. You can also combine it with fairy lighting or a starlit finish for an evening look.
For parties and corporate events, draping can help create a dedicated area within a larger venue, frame a stage or presentation space, or simply add another layer to the overall event setup.
Whatever you’re planning, we can work with your venue and the space you’ve got available to find an approach that works.
Professional draping and installation
We’ll take care of the draping from setup through to takedown, working around your venue’s access arrangements and timings.
Our team will install the draping before your event and make sure everything is securely in place and looking right before your guests arrive. Once the event is over, we’ll return to take everything down and clear the area.
If you’re working with a venue coordinator or event team, we’re happy to liaise with them beforehand so everyone knows what’s being installed, where it needs to go and when we’ll be there.
If you’re combining draping with other services from us, we’ll coordinate the setup so everything works together.
