We needed to partition off a huge warehouse space for an evening gala, and NextGen AV's pipe and drape setup completely transformed the room. The black velvet drapes were heavy, clean, and blocked out all the background clutter.

Maya Zhang

Super impressed with the venue draping for our awards night. The team arrived on time, had the whole backdrop installed without any hassle, and the acoustic dampening was a massive bonus for our audio quality.

Noah Williams

If you're trying to hide messy venue walls or set up a clean media wall, get NextGen AV's event draping. The drapes hung perfectly straight, the frames were sturdy, and their crew took care of bump-in and bump-out seamlessly.

Harrison Miller

We hired drape backdrops for a multi-room conference setup to build quick breakout areas. NextGen AV made the whole process easy, and the white sheer drapes with uplighting looked absolutely stunning.

Oliver Brown

Finding reliable event drape hire on short notice can be tough, but NextGen AV pulled it off effortlessly. The room divider drapes transformed a plain exhibition hall into an intimate, professional event space.
