Fabrication Events

What Fabrication Events does

Fabrication Events is a privately held, founder-owned event design and rental company founded in 2000 by Paul Hines and headquartered in Jessup, Maryland. The company serves corporate event planners, wedding planners and couples, social event hosts, and fellow industry professionals across the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC (Mid-Atlantic) market. Its offering is a unified rental catalog of event décor and staging equipment spanning eight interconnected product lines: Drape & Fabric, Furniture, Dance Floors, Staging & Risers, Ceiling Treatments, Decorative Lighting, Stage Sets & Backdrops, and Wedding Services.

The company's core operational capability is event décor and rental inventory management supported by an in-house sewing department that fabricates custom drape for specialized requirements, including venues with ceilings up to 100 feet. It maintains over 100 different fabrics in stock across a range of colors with heights from 8 to 100 feet, plus thousands of feet of drape panels, housed in a 35,000-square-foot warehouse and inventory facility. There is no proprietary software platform, API, or mobile app; the technology footprint consists of a website-based online catalog with wishlist/quote functionality.

The business model is a sales-led, direct rental operation generating revenue on a per-rental basis, with per-day pricing for most items (e.g., specialty bars from $500/day to $3,780/day, sofas $275–$450/day, chandeliers $156–$1,500/day) and custom quote-based pricing for items such as dance floors and custom drape. Go-to-market combines direct sales to corporate and wedding clients, an online self-serve catalog for browsing and quote submission, direct rental to fellow industry professionals who supplement their own inventory, and referral flow from long-standing partnerships with premier regional venues and vendors.
