Pipe and drape rental in Duluth and Superior, from a simple backdrop to full arena draping, with the linens to match.
Two ways to start: browse below and add what you like to your wishlist, or tell us about the room and we will suggest what it needs. Questions? Call (218) 724-4646.
Pipe and drape
Encore is one of the largest pipe and drape companies in the area, and the range of what we do is wide.
- Simple backdrops behind a head table, a stage or a photo area.
- Booths, queues and dividers for trade shows, expos and registration.
- Room transformations that soften a gym, line a ballroom wall or close off half a hall.
- Full-scale arena draping and large event transformations.
You do not need to know heights or how many panels. Tell us about the space, and we will work out what it takes.
Couples have used it as a twinkle-light backdrop for a campus wedding and behind the head table at a conference center, set up the day before.
Linens and skirting
A bare folding table looks like a folding table. A linen to the floor looks like dinner.
Start with the cloth, then add the layers: a skirt, a runner, a napkin, a sash.
Tablecloths and table covers
Encore offers a wide variety of linen options, including polyester linens and disposable plastic table covers in a variety of colors and sizes. Since our selection and availability can vary, please contact us directly to go over available options, colors, sizes, and pricing. We would be happy to help you find the perfect fit for your event!
Call (218) 724-4646, and tell us which tables you are using and whether you want the cloth to the floor.
Spandex table covers
Stretch covers that fit tight over a cocktail table or a 6 or 8 foot banquet table: a clean, modern look with nothing to blow around outdoors.
Table skirts
Skirting hides table legs and whatever is stored under the buffet. Expo skirts come in black, white, burgundy, forest green, red, royal blue, silver, teal and yellow, with wedding-quality skirts in black and white.
Table runners
One strip of color down the middle of a neutral cloth is often all a table needs. Chiffon runners for a wedding table are here too.
Napkins
Cloth napkins in black, ivory, gold and navy.
Chair sashes and covers
Organza and polyester sashes to tie on a chair back, and white spandex chair covers.
The difference between a room and your room
Tables and chairs make an event possible. Fabric makes it yours: a soft wall behind the head table, cloths to the floor, a runner down the middle. Drape, linens, skirts, aisle runners and more to dress up your event, from one shop.
Planning the look
- Start with the tables. Tell us which tables you are using and we will match the linen sizes to them.
- Pick one color to repeat. A neutral cloth with one color in the runner or the sash looks more finished than several colors at once.
- Decide where people will look. The head table, the cake, the ceremony. That is where a backdrop earns its place.
