Pipe and Drape

We did pipe and drape for my old job. Think I heard it cost around $400.

Draping when done correctly is stunning especially with LED Lighting...check this out. Draping by Swag Decor and lighting by Soundwave, djsoundwave.net.

Another color in LED Lighting on draping...

Hiring a vendor, costs 2,500. Depends how big the room is.

Another factor to consider is it would take time to set this up. Maybe 1-2 hours depending on how difficult it is. I am renting my venue for a specific number of hours and I didn't want decoration time to cut in on the partying time or pay the ridiculous additional per hour cost.

@GameCox that's a great price

@Les and Wendy very nice... I will check them out

@diana H $2,500 is out of my budget for sure lol

@Care Bear thanks for the reminder about the time allocation

There is a wall in our venue that has shutters an fake windows. I looked into professional back drops, but it was too expensive. We went to the fabric store and bought ends of bolts and cut them into panels. All told, it will be about $40 since the venue has curtain rods and hooks we can use.

@Calcat oh that's nice and for a great price!

We are able to get in the day before to put up too. Someone will just need to take down that night.

I am doing pipe and drape but only on a wrought iron gate so you cant see cars so about 25 ft and it is roughly $50 dollars so not too bad. I would image for a ballroom it can get very expensive

That worked out perfectly for you @calcat

That is a good price @Kaesey F I'm not sure of the square feet of my reception venue...I do know that the room can fit 500 people for a seated dinner

It's included in the cost of our venue, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. It is beautiful but pricey!

Oh that's great to hear....I'm sure your venue is beautiful @almostmrsbentley
