Holiday Party Rentals

Picture the party your guests still mention in January, where the room felt nothing like the conference hall it was the week before. At Drape Kings, we have staged events for names like The Guggenheim Museum, Live Nation, and The Ritz-Carlton, and we bring that same care to office parties and private celebrations. Below, we break down the holiday party rentals that make a host's job easier and a guest's night better.

Why Holiday Party Rentals Pay Off For Hosts

Renting puts professional inventory and crews behind your party, so your energy goes toward guests instead of logistics.

Turning Blank Rooms Into Party Spaces

Most party venues start as neutral boxes: office floors, hotel function rooms, or restaurant buyouts with fixed decor. Drapery changes the proportions of a space, hides what does not belong, and adds color where the walls offer none. A few well-placed walls can turn one open room into a lounge, a dining area, and a dance floor in a single afternoon. Lighter fabrics such as Muslin respond well to dynamic lighting, giving a plain wall color that changes through the evening.

Hours Saved Before The First Guest Arrives

Hosts already juggle catering, entertainment, and guest lists, so setup time matters. Our crews arrive with every upright, base, and drape panel the layout requires, packed in our own custom cases and hampers. Your team walks into a finished room instead of spending the afternoon on ladders. When the party ends, the same crew strikes everything, so your team leaves when the guests do.

A Professional Finish Without Buying Inventory

Owning event drapery means storing, cleaning, and repairing it between uses. Renting shifts that work to us. Our in-house laundry maintains every rental piece, and our fabrication team handles repairs, so each order arrives clean and ready for a crowd of camera phones. We also sell most of what we rent, so hosts who fall in love with a look can keep it for future seasons.

Packages Priced By The Foot

Our rental packages are typically priced by the foot, with the basic drapery rods, uprights, horizontals, and sandbags included. That structure keeps budgeting simple for first-time hosts. Every venue is different, so our production coordinators adjust the hardware list to your room dimensions and ceiling height before the quote is final. Hosts who already own drape can rent hardware à la carte, and specialty accessories and track systems cover layouts that need more than the basics.

Party Moments Built Around Drape

A few signature drape pieces give a holiday party its personality and set the stage for every memorable moment.

  • Velour Walls That Hide The Clutter: Our drape rentals mask storage, service doors, and office furniture behind clean velour walls in colors from Graphite to Wine.
  • LED Star Drape Behind The Dance Floor: Chameleon star drape runs full RGB color with twinkle, chase, and color-change effects synced to the night, and panels daisy-chain to cover any wall width.
  • Austrian Drape For Old Hollywood Glamour: Modular white crush panels in 2, 4, or 6 ft widths at 16 ft high take any uplight color, with blackout lining included.
  • Designer Series Accent Walls: The Overlay softens a bold back layer, while The Lattice adds a crisscrossed pattern behind a bar or buffet, in curated colors or your own custom pairing.

Photo-ready Walls With AV Drop

AV Drop turns party branding into a printed wall built for photos, speeches, and the moments guests share online.

Step-and-repeats For Office Parties

Office parties produce hundreds of photos, and a step-and-repeat gives them a consistent, branded setting. Guests naturally gather in front of it with coworkers, and every shot carries your company logo into social feeds and internal newsletters. AV Drop step-and-repeats configure to the size of your space, from a compact wall near the entrance to a wide one beside the dance floor. Placing one near the entrance captures guests while outfits and spirits are fresh. We can also theme the print around your party and carry your messaging across it, giving your most important guests a red carpet feel on arrival.

Logos And Photos Printed Edge To Edge

AV Drop uses high-quality dye-sublimation printing to reproduce logos, holiday photography, team imagery, or a solid seasonal color across the full surface. Opaque white or black fabric provides 100% opacity and full light-blocking, so party lighting never washes through the print. The reusable construction lets the same frames carry a new design at next year's party, switching between holiday artwork and evergreen logos as needed. Custom theming and messaging are available, so the print can follow your party's concept and carry your message.

Toasts And Awards On A Polished Stage

Year-end toasts, employee awards, and holiday performances deserve a stage that looks intentional. AV Drop delivers these stage backdrop rentals in sizes, heights, and profiles shaped to your room, ground-supported up to 22 ft. Front and rear projection screens can sit within the same layout for slide shows and video tributes. Speakers stay framed, photos stay clean, and the stage reads as part of the party design.

Self-Install Resources For DIY Hosts

Not every host needs a labor crew. Our AV Drop solutions are intuitive and tool-less, with aluminum frames that connect by clamps and fabrics that attach with Velcro. We provide self-install resources for teams who prefer to build it themselves, and our full-service crews remain available whenever you would rather hand off installation. The system packs onto a pallet or into road cases, so storage between parties stays simple.

Guest Flow From Entrance To Late Night

Thoughtful flooring and guest flow guide people through the evening and make every area of the party feel purposeful.

Carpeted Entrances That Feel Special

The first few steps inside shape how guests feel about the rest of the night. Our event carpet rentals cover everything from a red carpet arrival to a fully carpeted lounge. DK Euro needle punch carpet is flat, lightweight, and easy to install, which suits quick party setups in busy venues. DK Designer Series carpet adds vivid color in 10 ft rolls for themed lounges, and runners can ship for self-installation. Our crew always protects the existing floor surface during installation.

Rope Lines For VIP Lounges

A roped-off lounge tells guests where the celebration's inner circle gathers. Our rope and stanchion rentals include King stanchions with a premium crown head and forged slotted ring, paired with plush velour ropes. Ropes come in black or red with mirrored or golden snap hooks, and custom colors are available. Belt stanchions with 10 ft polyester belts keep the step-and-repeat line orderly. They define lounges, award seating, and coat check lines without feeling like crowd control.

Choosing Full Service Or DO/PU

Hosts can choose the level of help that fits their team. Full service covers delivery, setup, and teardown, while DO/PU, our Drop-Off / Pick-Up option, delivers and collects everything with no labor on site. Teams with their own vehicles can also use self-service pickup, and our warehouse crew loads the order for them. Our production coordinators help weigh labor against budget so the choice is clear.

Booking Ahead Of Peak Party Weeks

December weekends fill quickly across our NYC Metro, Chicago, and DC Metro locations. Booking early gives you the widest choice of colors, fabrics, and specialty pieces, and some carpet colors carry up to three weeks of lead time. Sharing your date, venue, and headcount early helps our team reserve the right inventory. Even after you book, our 24/7 service means a late guest count change or a layout tweak never leaves you stranded.
