Cardiff’s hotels, offices and event venues are preparing for one of the busiest festive seasons in recent years – and a growing number are turning to branded Christmas backdrops to elevate guest experience and boost social engagement.
Local design studio Creative Spaces says it has seen a significant rise in last-minute enquiries for bespoke festive installations, driven by companies looking to create memorable “photo moments” that encourage sharing across social media during Christmas parties and corporate gatherings.
A Seasonal Trend Fuelled by Hospitality and Corporate Events
With many organisations confirming Christmas plans later than usual, suppliers capable of rapid turnaround are in particularly high demand. Creative Spaces reports that businesses are prioritising visual impact and brand visibility, opting for bespoke backdrops that combine décor with a ready-made photo experience.
“Venues are under pressure to create something special,” says Dan, owner of Creative Spaces. “A branded festive backdrop is a simple way to elevate the atmosphere and give guests a photo moment they actually want to share.”
Fast Delivery, Installation and De-Rig to Support Busy Venues
As Christmas schedules intensify, venues need suppliers able to deliver and remove installations with minimal disruption.
Creative Spaces currently offers:
- Delivery in as little as 3 days
- 1-hour installation times
- 30-minute de-rig following events
- Fully branded options including colours, logos and custom sizes
- Coverage across Cardiff and wider South Wales (with a small delivery fee outside the city)
For many venues, the quick turnaround is a key factor – especially for multi-event weeks where tight changeovers are required.
Packages Designed for Venues, Offices and Corporate Parties
To support demand throughout the festive season, Creative Spaces has introduced limited-run Christmas backdrop packages, including:
- Photo-op backdrop with festive props – £750+VAT (Cardiff area)
- Branded backdrop option – £850+VAT
- Optional on-site photographer (2hrs with cloud delivery) – £100+VAT
- £50 delivery fee for South Wales locations outside Cardiff
These packages cater to hotels, offices, event venues and corporate party planners looking to elevate guest experience without extensive décor budgets or long setup times.
Why Backdrops Are Becoming a Corporate Christmas Essential
Event planners say branded backdrops offer a blend of practicality and marketing value:
- They increase social sharing and event visibility
- They create a professional-looking focal point for festive photos
- They offer a cost-effective alternative to large-scale décor
- They enhance guest experience with minimal installation time
With competition rising among venues to deliver standout seasonal events, these installations are quickly becoming a staple element in Christmas programming.
How to Book a Festive Backdrop
Creative Spaces expects demand to remain strong through November and early December as companies finalise their end-of-year celebrations.
