About Us
Welcome to Striking Trend – Where Your Vision Comes to Life
I’m Kate Naik, and I started Striking Trend in 2017 to make event design perfect to match clients’ expectations. I believe any celebration is not just about decoration, it’s more about understanding what’s important to our clients and coming up with a theme that matches your idea behind the celebration. Our expert team is capable of planning the event and handling the logistics so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.
We are experts in planning a wedding, anniversary, or corporate event and can help you through the event design with transparent communication and attention to detail. We help in designing the perfect backdrops, draping, flower arrangements, and lighting according to your taste and the theme of your event.
I have a team of experienced people in Cultural Event Planning Services NC, who know and understand what customer demands and what is currently trending in the market. We, as a team, bring expertise in event designing and management to the table to make every event successful. With Striking Trend, you can be assured that your event will be memorable and special, so that you can count on us for any forthcoming event.
Mission
We established Striking Trend to plan events that feel personal to every client and always stand true to their expectations. We are committed to delivering high-quality needfuls for an event so that you can enjoy every moment of the celebration stress-free. We, as a team, work together to create a beautiful backdrop, lighting, or floral arrangements according to the theme you choose. You just be ready to groove on your favorite music, and rest, Striking Trend will take care of it.
Vision
We envision a future where Striking Trend stands at the forefront of event design in North Carolina and beyond. Through Luxury Event Design Raleigh and specialized Cultural Event Planning Services NC, we’re dedicated to creating spaces that echo modern trends and deliver excellence. Our goal is not only to organize amazing events but to set new benchmarks for trust, quality, and creativity in the industry.
Our Services
We at Striking Trend don’t consider your special day just another date on the calendar. Rather, we consider it our responsibility to make that day worth remembering for you. We provide specialized services in setting up luxury stages and designing theme-based venues. We also help with rentals and planning to make your event stress-free and memorable.
Event Design Wish List
Already have a plan in mind? We have our Event Design Wish List, which makes the planning simple. You need to go through our rental catalog, select what suits your theme, and send us your list. Within 24 hours, we’ll share a clear quote and handle delivery, setup, and takedown. We are experts in designing backdrops and centerpieces with precision and attention to detail.
Paid Consultation
If you are not sure of how to start planning your event, then you must reach out to our consultation service. We have a $100 phone consultation or $150 in-person facility that will allow you to know your needs, share design ideas, and make a clear plan. This ensures your event feels cohesive and stress-free. With expertise in Luxury Event Design Raleigh and Cultural Event Planning Services NC, we help you have a clear vision of how your celebration would turn out.
Self-Install Rental Items
Prefer to handle the setup yourself? Our Self-Install Rentals give you that flexibility. You can begin by choosing from our inventory of backdrops, linens, and décor, set them up at your own, and return them within 24 hours. It’s a flexible option for smaller events or DIY setups where you still want access to professional-grade rentals.
