Full Décor & Immersive Transformations
Full Décor & Immersive Graduation Transformations
At The Space Next Door, décor goes far beyond traditional event styling. Through our in-house partnership with NVS Visuals, a professional movie-set fabrication and scenic design company located next door, we can fully transform the venue. As a result, this intimate space receives the same creative treatment used for Netflix productions and large-scale film sets.
Hollywood-Inspired Graduation Celebrations
For graduation events, every detail can be customized to reflect your vision. For example, a recent Hollywood-themed graduation featured custom Walk of Fame–style sidewalk star decals honoring each student. Inside the venue, our team created 1920s-inspired movie star portraits and oversized cinematic backdrops. In addition, we wrapped the front glass doors with custom decals to create a red-carpet premiere entrance.
Designed for Photos, Toasts, and Video Tributes
Moreover, the space can be enhanced with immersive wall wraps, window graphics, and floor decals. Additionally, custom bar styling helps tie the entire theme together. At the same time, our advanced AV system and 150” video wall allow slideshows, speeches, and video tributes to play smoothly. As a result, the celebration feels less like a traditional venue and more like a fully produced experience.
