Transforming Event Spaces with Custom Fabrication in Pittsburgh

From Custom Concepts to Tailored Builds

Standard event rentals can be limiting, often offering repetitive styles or rigid sizes that might not fit your venue or your vision. We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise your ideas based on what a standard rental catalog happens to have in stock. As a full-service custom design team, we handle the entire process from the initial concept to the final setup, ensuring the finished piece matches the exact scale and feel of your event.

We bridge the gap between creative ideas and reliable, safe construction. Inside our Eighty Four, PA studio, we craft custom, built-to-order pieces that are tailored directly to your venue. When standard options can’t accommodate the unique layout or specific features of your space, our team builds the perfect solution.

Custom Fabrication Styles & Capabilities

Unique Pieces, Tailored to Your Space

When standard catalog rentals can’t quite fill a space or match your vision, custom fabrication opens up entirely new design possibilities. Our team combines thoughtful design planning with skilled craftsmanship to build one-of-a-kind structural elements tailored specifically to the layout and style of your event.

Whether we are constructing a seamless dance floor, a dramatic ceremony backdrop, or a custom bar facade, we focus on clean lines, quality materials, and structural safety. We handle everything from the initial design to the final on-site installation, ensuring each custom piece fits naturally within your Pittsburgh venue and creates a beautiful, polished setting for your guests.

Custom Ceremony Structures

We build beautiful, custom ceremony backdrops—from modern geometric designs to classic architectural chuppahs. These unique structures serve as the main focal point for your ceremony, grounding the layout of the room and creating a memorable setting for your most significant moments.

Seamless Event Flooring

We elevate the foundation of your space with clean, seamless flooring and high-gloss dance floor surfaces. Our team handles the layout and careful placement to ensure a smooth, polished finish that ties the look of the entire venue together.

Custom Feature Walls & Backdrops

We craft high-impact statement walls using quality materials tailored to your specific design. Every backdrop is built entirely to order, ensuring that the finished piece fits the dimensions of your venue perfectly and provides a beautiful backdrop for photos.

Integrated Event Signage

Moving far beyond a standard poster on an easel, we design and build free-standing seating charts and custom directional signs. These structures are built to look like a natural extension of your event’s design, blending beautifully into the layout of the space.

Custom Bar & Entertainment Facades

We transform high-use areas like bars and DJ booths into beautiful, seamless design features. Our custom facades cleanly blend these necessary service areas into the rest of the room, ensuring they match your aesthetic perfectly while hiding cords and equipment out of sight.

Corporate Staging & Scenic Backdrops

For corporate galas and large-scale presentations, we build custom stage surrounds and scenic backdrops that cleanly incorporate event branding. We design these elements to frame presentation spaces professionally, making a wonderful impression on guests and providing a clean look for photos and video.
