WHAT WE DO
We think every wedding and every love story is special. We love weddings, big or small, indoors or outdoors, whatever your dream is.
From seat to stage
Our services encompass every aspect of event design and production. We bring visionary concepts to life, curating stunning environments that capture the essence of your event. From exclusive fundraising galas to corporate events in DC’s biggest ballrooms, we infuse every detail with elegance, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail. From lighting design to stage setup, custom fabrications, rentals, branding, and table settings, we orchestrate every aspect seamlessly. Our experienced production team ensures flawless execution, allowing you to relax and enjoy a stress-free event.
Floral & Tablescapes
We were founded on flowers back in 1993. Let us enhance the ambiance of your event with perfectly curated table settings. Our dedicated in-house floral designers hand-arrange centerpieces – this is one of the many differences that sets us apart from other major event companies. It’s truly magic inside a ballroom when 300 centerpieces coordinate perfectly with the stage set, lighting, linens and more to bring a vision to life. That’s what you get with Santos Shannon Decorating.
Custom Props
Branding a corporate event even in minor ways can result in a major impact. We work with clients to help them decide the most effective ways to reach their audience through powerful visuals, often using innovative or unexpected platforms. This offers your guests a totally customized experience.
