Backstage

The crew behind the curtain

Roadie crew meets luxury design. Here's who we are, how we work and what we won't touch.

Who we are

Drapery, full stop.

Pipe It Up is Patrick and Reid, the two owners who run every install, and the crew they trust to hang it right.

We come from stages. Performing on them, designing them, building events around them. We know what a room feels like when the backdrop is right, and what it costs when it isn't.

Then we went looking for pipe & drape here and found two options: stunning and unreachable, or affordable and sad.

So we built the third option. Stage-crew standards. Designer eyes. Real numbers.

We're a drapery company and we don't apologize for it. We don't split ourselves into planners, decorators and coordinators. We build scenes for the moments that matter: the vows, the entrance, the first dance, the photo everyone keeps.

Weddings come first. Corporate nights, galas, markets and shows are in the mix too. Every one of them gets treated like the biggest show of the year.

That's the whole story.

How we work

Roadie hands. Luxury eyes.

01

We carry it

Pipe, bases, crossbars and fabric. We haul it, build it and strike it ourselves.

02

We sweat the folds

Fullness, line and light. The details that turn a wall of fabric into a scene.

03

Big-game energy

Every event gets treated like the biggest show of the year, because to you it is.

04

Fun on purpose

We work hard and we have a good time doing it. You'll feel it on load-in day.

Not on our truck

What we don't do

Linens, table skirting, centerpieces, anything that lives on a horizontal surface. Not our lane. We hang drapes, and we hang them right.

Bars and glassware ride with Bar-Key

Pipe It Up is part of the Bar-Key family. Our bars and glassware rent as add-ons on a Bar-Key quote, and when Bar-Key is behind the bar, the wait for an out-of-town strike is on us.
