We recently did a setup of our backdrops (pipe and drape) and ceiling drapery for a wedding reception here. The staff was very accommodating to our needs - asking us if we needed assistance with anything.


The ceiling is a drop ceiling with a crown molding around the edges making it pretty easy for us to install the ceiling draping. This space will be the buffet line until after dinner when the staff will remove the tables and it becomes a dance floor. 💃


Eastland Suites offers in-house catering, bar services, and shuttles! There is an outdoor ceremony location in the courtyard which, weather-permitting, makes a beautiful ceremony backdrop.


We also installed a pipe and drape backdrop for this wedding reception. The client wanted the draping to cover the entire back wall behind the head table. I loved how the lights peeked through the black sheer draping and I'm sure it looked awesome at night with all the lights turned down low.
