FAQs Lit Charleston

Additional Order Information

The earlier, the better! We recommend booking your event rentals and custom design elements as soon as you have a date set, ideally 6-8 months before your event. This allows us ample time to customize everything and ensure availability.

We understand that plans can change, and we’re here to help. You can adjust your order depending on the timing and availability. We’ll work with you to make sure you’re happy with your choices and can accommodate changes as best we can, but please note that some changes may incur additional fees, especially as your event date approaches.

We’re based in Charleston, SC, but we serve clients throughout the Charleston area, including Mount Pleasant, Kiawah Island, and beyond. Whether you’re planning an event in Charleston or elsewhere, we’re happy to discuss how we can bring your vision to life.

Draping Services

What types of draping do you offer?

From cascading ceiling drapes to elegant wall coverings and stylish pole wraps, we offer a wide range of draping options to elevate any event. Whether you want a soft, romantic vibe or a bold, modern look, we have you covered.

How does draping work?

Draping is an art form that transforms your event space using luxurious fabrics strategically hung from ceilings, walls, or around your venue. We use expert rigging and design to create soft, flowing layers or sharp, tailored lines, depending on the vibe you're going for.

Can draping be used in non-traditional venues?

Definitely! Whether your event is in a warehouse, a tent, or a rustic barn, draping is the perfect way to add sophistication and elegance to any non-traditional space. We can turn even the most unexpected locations into a dream setting.

How do you handle last-minute changes or requests?

At LIT Charleston, we pride ourselves on flexibility and adaptability. If you have last-minute changes or need to adjust your vision, we'll work with you to ensure your draping still delivers the impact you're looking for.
