Welcome Storm and Yarden!! Storm Hooten is joining us in the Chicago office as our new AV-Drop Lead Installer. He has been working as a scenic carpenter for over 5 years and comes to us from the fantastically creative show The Blue Man Group!

WAY TO GO DK CH!!!

“Drape Kings did an amazing job with our event from first contact through installation. They were incredibly responsive with changes and had wonderful ideas during our venue walk thru. The crew were very thoughtful during the instillation and did whatever they could to make sure the client was happy before walking away. We look forward to using them again. “
