When you are looking for your perfect event venue, it can be challenging to picture a raw space as host to a beautiful event. At The Event Group, we love raw spaces because it gives us the freedom to create exactly the look that our clients want. From draping walls to adding beautiful furniture to installing lighting to set the mood, we like to do it all. Check out some of our before and after shots to illustrate why choosing a raw space might be a good choice for your next event!

This beautiful winter wedding took place at New Hazlett Theater in Pittsburgh. You can see the before shot of the space in the first photo. The ceremony and reception were in the same space so a flip of the space during cocktail hour transformed chairs in rows to a gorgeous wedding seated reception.

This stunning wedding, held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, was incredible. We draped the 30-foot-high walls in ivory to give a more elegant feel to the very large space. A silver, ivory and blush pink color scheme was carried throughout the event. Lit fabric columns around the room echoed the blush pink flowers, and a monogram graced the dance floor. Dining tables of various shapes and sizes filled the ballroom.

Talk about a big change! This is another photo of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, but this time, we designed the room for a corporate client. Since this was themed, we left no detail out! We pulled the racing check in the corporate logo and added it in the centerpieces and on the chairs. The lit centerpieces and fabric columns added great ambiance to the spacious venue.
