I get asked this a lot so I’m here to do a breakdown,
Draping an entire ballroom can cost from $1,000 to over $5,000, with the total price depending on the venue's size, the amount of fabric used, the complexity of the installation, and the chosen style of drape, such as the fabric type or decorative accents. Simpler requests, such as a wall or backdrop drape, might cost around $300 to $1,000, while a full-room or elaborate ceiling drape will be at the higher end of the price range.
Factors influencing cost:
Venue size: Larger ballrooms require more fabric and labor, increasing the total cost.
Fabric type: The material of the drape impacts price, with different types like voile, satin, or velvet having varying costs.
Complexity of the installation: Extensive draping, like full-room, 14-20 foot in height or intricate ceiling designs, is more expensive than a simple backdrop.
Additional elements: The inclusion of lights, swags, or other decorative pieces will add to the overall price.
Labor and installation: Costs often include delivery, setup, and tear-down time for the draping. I drape a mimimum of 10-20ft in height.
To get an accurate quote:
Provide details: Share the ballroom's size, the area you want to drape (walls, ceilings), and your desired fabric type and whether you’re wanting a custom drape style.
