Which Decorations Are Best for Your Event?
For a wedding or ruracio, the strongest combination is a ceremony arch or backdrop, dressed guest tables and a clear aisle: a rustic wooden arch or flower entrance arch, centrepieces on every table, walkway pillars and an aisle runner. Add a VIP-stage backdrop for the head table when the venue is a ballroom or marquee. For a birthday or baby shower, a balloon arch with a themed cake display and a few centrepieces creates a compact photo moment without dressing the whole room.
Corporate events, launches and conferences are best served by a branded backdrop or entrance arch, a registration desk, welcome signage and a neon sign, with the palette matched to the brand. For a garden party or brunch, entrance styling, lanterns, centrepieces and light garlands improve the setting without blocking views or airflow, and a graduation usually needs a balloon backdrop, a welcome sign and a cake or gift table. Children’s parties work well with balloon arches, themed plates, cups and serviettes, party hats and gift bags in a matching theme.
How Much Does Decoration Hire Cost in Nairobi?
Decoration hire in Nairobi starts from KES 80 for small items such as napkin rings and goes up to KES 58,000 for the largest floral backdrop with a VIP stage. A balloon arch starts from KES 8,000, a flower entrance arch from KES 15,000, a centrepiece from KES 1,200 and a neon sign from KES 4,000. Your final quote depends on the size, colours, quantities, installation height, venue access and whether the setup is custom-branded. An 80% deposit secures your date, and delivery and collection are quoted separately by distance.
How Should I Plan My Decoration Setup?
Start with the places guests will look and photograph first: the entrance, the stage or backdrop, the cake or gift table and the guest tables. When you ask for a quote, send the event date, venue photos, ceiling height, wall surfaces, colour palette or mood board and the time you can access the venue for installation. Balloon ceiling décor is installed in 2 to 4 hours, while larger backdrops with a raised VIP stage need longer, and we confirm the installation window in your quotation so the room is ready before guests arrive.
What Is Included in Decoration Hire?
Your hire covers the agreed décor items, prepared before dispatch, installation by our crew and removal after the event, with delivery and collection quoted separately by distance from our Waiyaki Way yard. Add-ons are quoted alongside your décor, including fairy lights, festoon lighting and uplighters from our entertainment and lighting range, floral inserts, stands and branded panels, and you can also hire chairs, tables and linen and tents in the same quote.

Estates have their own rules, so check with the management office or residents’ association about delivery access, loading hours, noise and parking before your event. For apartments and venues with stairs or lifts, tell us the floor and the access route so the crew can plan the installation. Send us your estate or town when you enquire, and we will confirm availability and the transport cost.
Indoor, Outdoor and Weather Conditions
We install décor in homes, halls, hotels, gardens, church compounds and under tents and marquees. Outdoor décor is planned around wind, rain, ground conditions, access and the installation window. We cannot control the weather, so if rain or strong wind is possible we recommend placing backdrops, florals, signage and balloon installations under a tent, marquee or roof; if weather stops an outdoor event, you can choose another venue or agree a suitable new date with us. Share your venue details and photos when you enquire so we can plan the setup.
How Far in Advance Should You Book Decorations?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead for standard weekend décor, and 4–6 weeks ahead for large installations, custom branding or peak periods such as December, Easter and August. Last-minute bookings are possible, subject to availability. An 80% deposit secures your date, and the remaining 20% balance is due on delivery, after setup is complete and you have confirmed and accepted all items. Send your date, venue and colour palette on WhatsApp at +254 792 788 442 and we will reply with an itemised quote.
