Our Journey

EVENT DRAPING & UPLIGHTING INC was founded in 2015 by Karen Koutsos with a simple yet powerful vision: to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences. What began as a passion project quickly grew into one of Tampa Bay's most trusted event decor companies.

Karen's background in design and her meticulous attention to detail set the foundation for everything we do. She understood that every event tells a unique story, and the right decor can elevate that story from memorable to magical. With this philosophy, she assembled a team of dedicated professionals who share her commitment to excellence.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of working on hundreds of events—from intimate wedding ceremonies to grand corporate galas. Each project has taught us something new and allowed us to refine our craft. Today, we're proud to be the go-to choice for couples, businesses, and event planners throughout the Tampa Bay area.

Our success is built on more than just beautiful draping and lighting. It's built on trust, reliability, and genuine care for our clients. We don't just decorate venues; we create environments where memories are made. That's the EVENT DRAPING & UPLIGHTING INC difference.
