Why Decorate? You might think that decorations are merely an addition to your event. But are “decorations” merely an addition to your home? Imagine living in a house without photographs, without painted walls, without flowers or whatever else you might use to make your home unique and personal. I’d be willing to argue that such a home wouldn’t be the most welcoming place. Now think of why decorating a venue might be important for your party or event. Decorations make the atmosphere of your event more welcoming and friendly. Walking into an empty room with just tables, chairs, and a dance floor is a bit barren.
At the Spencer Daniels Agency we know that people are inherently visual creatures and get excited by decorations that catch their attention. Talk to any graphic designer and they’ll be able to go much more in depth about this! Simply put, decorations get your guests excited about your party or event and make the entire experience unique and fun for them! Having excited guests lends itself to putting on a successful and memorable event!
While higher end events might be well served by spending a good portion of their budget on decorating, you do not need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to decorate your venue for the average event. There are two ways to go about decorations: professional decorators such as the Spencer Daniels Agency and do-it-yourself decorating!
Professional Décor The Spencer Daniels Agency offers a full selection of high-end décor that will transform the atmosphere of any venue into virtually any theme imaginable. Our theme sets include Las Vegas, Caribbean, Big Band, Roaring 20's, New Years Eve, Rock-N-Roll, 50's Party, Safari, Sports, Mardi Gras, Disco, New York City, Back to the Future, Broadway, South of the Border, Family Fun Day and any other idea you can come up with! We have created customized themes for our clients to suit their needs.
Unlike many decorators the Spencer Daniels Agency only uses real props and dynamic theme sets. We offer custom table arrangements that will really “wow” your guests. Let me give you an example of what I mean. Let’s say you are having a baseball theme. Some decorators might give you a bouquet of balloons with some baseball cards scattered on the base of the table. Your guests probably wouldn’t complain but they wouldn’t be stunned by the table arrangement either. The Spencer Daniels Agency can create you a table arrangement with a real baseball bat standing vertically as the base with real baseballs and gloves complementing the bottom of the base. Attached to the baseball bat could be a nice bouquet of balloons with mylar balloons that actually look like baseballs or your favorite team’s logo! The Spencer Daniels Agency adds an entirely new dimension to the quality and style of your decorations.
Aside from table arrangements the Spencer Daniels Agency will also put together decorations for the rest of the venue including backdrops, entrance ways, balloon sculptures (arches, twists, spirals, sculptures and foils), stage sets, sign-in boards, ambient lighting, vinyl graphic signs and banners! Just to give you a taste of our unique decorating style we wouldn’t just line your Caribbean-themed party’s entrance with some balloons but we would bring in a 10 foot tall thatched hut that your guests would walk through to enter the room. The hut could be drowned with ambient lighting, flanked by balloon columns, and have netted railings opening up into the room! It is these types of decorations that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Budget Decorating Let’s say that your budget doesn’t permit you to do all the decorations I just talked about. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t decorate! There are a variety of ways to decorate your venue without going over budget. One option is to simply use more basic decorations. While the Spencer Daniels Agency prides itself on our ability to offer high-end decorations we understand that many of our clients might just be looking for something a bit less robust. That is why we also offer our clients more basic table arrangements that do not cost as much. Since all of our decorating services are catered to meet the needs of our client’s vision AND budget we can customize a decorating package to suit your needs! You can call one of our entertainment specialists to receive a free proposal to decorate your event!
But even if you don’t have the budget to hire a professional decorator there are still ways to spice up your event’s atmosphere. It doesn’t take an expert event planner to come up with inexpensive do-it-yourself ways of putting together some basic décor. For centerpieces, flowers are always in fashion, but you don't have to pick blooms for your tables. If flowers aren't your thing, consider other options -- whether jars of candy, piles of “gifts” wrapped in papers and ribbons that match your theme, vases or bottles filled with colored water (sans flowers). Practically anything can be a centerpiece. For your entrance-way you can hang a beaded curtain, a sheer curtain, or lay down a carpet to lead your guests inside. You don’t even need to unroll an actual carpet; get several yards of inexpensive fabric, trim it to fit, and use heavy-duty double-sided tape to keep it in place! There are so many ways to make sure you have decorations that will make your event memorable even if you don’t have the budget for professional decorations.
