Hot New Product for Tent Receptions

The hottest thing to hit tent design in…like forever…just hit the scene.  Printed velon ceilings & walls are available from Velon Designs.

What is velon?
Velon is vinyl fabric that is made of recycled plastics.

Is Printed Velon™ recyclable?
Velon is 100% recyclable. Take it to any recycling facility that recycles plastic.

Velon comes in 33 colors. Create custom velon colors for orders of 10,000 yards or more. Once we receive your color approval custom velon colors take approximately 6 weeks to produce.

What is the difference between Stock Designs, Library Designs, and Custom Designs?
Stock Designs are pre-printed and are ready to ship from our warehouse directly to you.
Library Designs are in the Velon archive catalog with screens available for printing upon request.
Custom designs require new screens be created from new artwork for printing.

Why Printed Velon™ instead of traditional fabric?
Well, most high end fabrics are usually very expensive to start with. A high end pattern could cost as much as $10 to $15 dollars per yard, or more. Then you would have to spend another $5 to $7 a yard to have it flame proofed rising the per yard cost to almost $20.00. Yes, you can buy fabric that is already flame proofed, but you are limited to chiffons and very basic colors. With Printed Velon™ you can have the high end designer fabric look for 1/5 the cost of actual fabric.

Is Printed Velon™ flame resistant?
Yes it is. Velon meets strict fire safety codes and has a flame retardant rating of NFPA 702 Class1.

Is it waterproof?
Yes, velon is waterproof. The print will not bleed in damp weather or if it gets wet.

Can I wash it?
Yes, you can wash Printed Velon™ with soap and warm water.

Is it re-useable?
Velon is so affordable you can easily re-print, but you can also store and re-use velon.

What color inks can I select from to print my design?
The ink color can be any pantone color. We are able to match any color for the printing. That is what makes this process so wonderful. Find a design you like, tell us the color you want – it is that simple.

Can I get unPrinted Velon™?
Yes, we also sell un-Printed Velon™. We request unprinted orders be a minimum of one roll for $166.25

What can I do with it?
You can do just about anything with Printed Velon™, use it to line the inside of tents, wrap tent poles, cover trashcans, even cover a fence or other unsightly venue features. Use it as draping in trade shows. It’s great to cover bars, buffets and captain stations etc.

How do I install Velon?
Install velon the exact same way you would install fabric – staple, sew, pin, tape, or tie.

How do I determine how much Printed Velon™ to order?
That depends on what you will be doing with Printed Velon™. If you will be lining a tent, we can help you figure the amount needed. Just give us a call.

Tent Wedding Reception in Seminole

Jaime and Bryan’s wedding on September 20th, 2008  was an event that the Special Moments team will not forget for years to come! Along with all of the details and tents! Yes, we had 6 tents, a beer truck, portable restrooms, valet service, buffet dinner for 285 people, lounge area, and a live band on the stage. When Jaime’s mom came in to meet with us at the office , looking for a “Day Of” coordinator, little did we know what we were in for. We fell in love with Mom and had a great time with Jaime, helping her thru the most important day of her” Parent’s Life.”  The party started out with maybe 150 to 200 guests in the initial stages and a few tents with a band. As weeks went by, it just took on a life of it’s own and the guest count was finally confirmed to be 285. Our biggest concern was restrooms for all of the guests. Thanks to Royal Restrooms we had the most amazing port-a-potty’s you have ever seen.The guests were totally suprised by the restrooms and it was a very talked about subject all night by the guests and most of them took the business cards and plan on using them for their own personal parties.

Here is a picture below of the outside of the restrooms:

Another popular spot for the guests was the beer truck. We had 3 taps available with cups, so the guests could help themselves without having to wait in line at the bar. We have included a picture below of the beer truck also, which was a great place to keep all of the ice stored for the event also. The bartenders never complained when they had to make a trip to get more ice from the truck.

We had a catered buffet by one of our favorite caterers ,Orange Blossom Catering www.orangeblossomcatering.com , who we subject to working under crazy surroundings and they still arrive and leave with a smile. Their staff is always pleasant to work with. I have included a picture below of the buffet area. (which was also the dance floor area) Remember me saying subjecting them to crazy surroundings, their staff had to clear the buffet after dinner and move all 6 tables out of the dance floor area and we gave them about 15 minutes to accomplish this. ( They still had a smile after that task also)

We have also included below a few of our non-professional picutres taken after the set-up was complete. We are so looking forward to sharing with you the professional pictures and the video of the entire set-up once completed. We were fortunate in getting to work with Thomas Bruce Photography , they were hardly noticed at the event and were always available to capture every event that took place.  I love photographers that you do not notice are even there, it makes are job easier to work with true photography professionals. Will update you when we get the professional pictures.

So below is our pictures for you to enjoy:
