Gala Drapery
Full-room transformations for benefit galas, award dinners, and premieres. Ceilings, perimeter walls, stage, and entrance — the ballroom disappears and the evening takes its place.
Bring the room down to human scale
Ballrooms are built for volume, not intimacy. Ceiling swags, canopies, and tented treatments compress that scale, soften the light, and put atmosphere where an acoustic tile grid used to be. We engineer every ceiling to the venue's rigging positions and fire requirements, coordinated with lighting and production from the first site visit.
- Ceiling swags, canopies & full tenting
- Chandelier surrounds & suspended canopies
- Built to venue rigging & fire requirements
- IFR fabrics throughout
- Coordinated with lighting & production teams
Stage, head table, perimeter, entrance
A gala transformation is only as strong as its weakest wall. We drape the full sequence — entrance portals that set the tone at the door, perimeter treatments that erase the venue, stage and head-table backdrops that hold the room's focus where the program needs it. One fabric language, carried through every surface.
- Entrance portals & draped passageways
- Full perimeter wall treatments
- Stage & head-table backdrops
- Room dividers for cocktail-to-dinner flips
- Reveal curtains for program moments
Velvet at scale
A 600-guest gala draped entirely in custom-dyed cotton velvet: 40-foot drops that turned a courtyard into a cathedral, perimeter swags, scenic backdrops, and motorized kabuki reveals. Fourteen thousand square feet of draped surface, all IFR-treated, rigged overnight by our crew.
