Not every party is a wedding, and it shouldn’t need wedding-level effort to look good. Events by Bri provides private party decorating services for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, retirements, showers, and holiday gatherings across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
We handle the design, setup, and breakdown, so you get a great-looking party without spending your week putting it together.
Every private party is different, so we build around what your event actually needs instead of selling one fixed package. Depending on your party, our decorating services can include:
Most people searching for a party decorator want a real number before they reach out, not just “contact us for pricing.” Here’s a general idea of what private party decorating services typically run, based on scope:
A few things move the price up or down: guest count, whether decor is rented or custom-built, how far we’re delivering and setting up, and how much of the room needs to be transformed versus just accented. Most private party decorators price this way, either as a flat package based on scope, an hourly rate for setup and styling time, or a per-guest rate for larger events. We use flat package pricing so you know your total cost upfront, no surprise add-ons after the invoice.
Looking for a cheap private party decorating service usually means one of two things: a smaller budget, or wanting to spend on the right things instead of everything. Both are fine, and we work with both. If you’re trying to keep costs down without your party looking underdone, we typically suggest:
We’ll always tell you honestly where your budget will have the most visual impact, rather than upselling you into a bigger package than your party needs.
We decorate a wide range of private events across the DC area, including:
If your event doesn’t fit neatly into one of these categories, reach out anyway, most private parties can be decorated with the same core approach.
We regularly decorate private parties downtown in DC, in homes and backyards across Northern Virginia, and at family gatherings throughout Maryland. Being local means we know which apartment buildings restrict balloon deliveries, which neighborhoods need street parking permits for setup, and how to get decor into a rowhouse or condo without a hassle.
Most private party decor runs from around $150 for a simple setup to $2,000 or more for a full room transformation. The main factors are guest count, how custom the decor is, and whether you need a full room design or just a few key pieces.
Yes. We offer a Simple Setup option for smaller budgets, and we’re happy to suggest where to spend versus where to save based on what will actually show up in photos and in person.
We use flat package pricing based on the size and scope of your party, rather than an hourly rate. You’ll know your total cost before you book, with no surprise fees added afterward.
We recommend booking 3 to 6 weeks ahead when possible, especially for weekend parties. If your event is sooner, reach out anyway, we can often still help.
We provide the decor, including balloons, backdrops, linens, and table styling. You’re welcome to add your own personal touches alongside what we bring.
Both. We regularly decorate private homes, backyards, and apartments, not just rented event spaces.
