About The Team

Meet the wedding + Event draping Specialists

Our fabulous team are made up of experts from many different fields, so when you mix us all together we make one crazy messed up delicious squad that is hard to beat. Saying that we LOVE events is an understatement, as the family running this circus are 2nd & 3rd generations in the industry, so it is definitely in our blood.

Active Draping specialise in a vast collection of draping styles and themes for any occasion. We are excited about (everything) event styling and theming. All you need to do is to bring your vision and something soft to fall into when you are wowed with the final result.

It's all in the details. Active Draping has over 30 years of quality event styling and theming experience. Set the scene: You found everything including the "perfect" space but it looks utterly hideous (we've all been there). Active Draping can provide you with a variety of options that can bring swagger to your next soiree and the idea of cover up a whole new meaning.

 The Office

Meet the active draping team

  • John is our leading man. He’s pretty much seen & done it all & is the go-to-guy if you need to get the job done and done very well. He has qualifications up to wazoo and has 30 years in this industry. He is our design King.

  • Dee is our Admiral in charge and the official whip cracker. Come on ladies we all know that the guys aren’t really in charge. Every single event that Active Draping styles has her handy work stamped all over it.

  • Ben likes to think he’s our Superhero, he may be our Advanced Rigger but he can’t jump tall buildings in a single bound. He does a great dance routine when he’s in the scissor lifter though – and no he’s not afraid of heights!
