General Questions

About FM Event Productions

What areas does FM Event Productions serve?
FM Event Productions primarily serves New York City and New Jersey, including all five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and all New Jersey counties. We also serve Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania, as well as Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, and North Carolina. For events outside these areas, contact us — we evaluate destination events on a case-by-case basis.
Can FM Event Productions handle multiple services for one event?
Yes — this is one of our core strengths. FM Event Productions was built to provide all major production services under one roof. You can book dance floor wraps, lighting, a photo booth, cloud effects, and pipe & drape all through us. One contract, one point of contact, one team on event day. This eliminates the coordination burden of managing multiple vendors.
What types of events do you work with?
We work with weddings, corporate events and galas, sweet 16s and quinceañeras, cultural celebrations, birthday parties, brand activations, trade shows, and private events. Our services scale from intimate celebrations to large-scale productions.
Are you available for corporate events as well as weddings?
Yes. A significant portion of our work is corporate — brand activations, product launches, galas, company parties, and trade show builds. Our custom fabrication division and LED video wall services are particularly popular for corporate events. Contact us with your event type for a custom proposal.

Booking & Process

How it works

How far in advance should I book FM Event Productions?
For weddings and large events, we recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak season dates (May through October) in the New York and New Jersey market. For corporate events and smaller productions, 4–8 weeks is typically sufficient. That said, contact us regardless of your timeline — we accommodate last-minute requests when availability allows.
How does the quote process work?
Submit your event details through our contact form or call us directly. Include your event date, venue name and location, event type, and which services you are interested in. We will review the details and respond with a custom production proposal within 1–2 business days. There is no obligation and no charge for a quote.
Do you require a deposit to hold a date?
Yes. A deposit is required to secure your event date and begin production planning. Specific deposit amounts and payment schedules are outlined in your production agreement. Contact us for details specific to your event and services.
Can I add or change services after booking?
In most cases, yes. We understand that event plans evolve. Changes to services, quantities, or design elements can typically be accommodated depending on timeline and availability. Additions and changes should be communicated as early as possible to ensure proper planning and production time, particularly for custom fabrication and printed floor graphics.
Do you require a venue walkthrough before the event?
For larger productions involving LED video walls, stage builds, or custom fabrication, a venue walkthrough or floor plan review is recommended. For most services, detailed venue information (dimensions, ceiling height, access points, loading dock availability) is sufficient for us to plan production. We will let you know if a site visit is needed after reviewing your proposal.

Service Questions

About our services

Can you design a custom dance floor wrap with our monogram or logo?
Yes. Every dance floor wrap we produce is fully custom. We work from your design files, monogram, logo, or creative brief to produce a printed floor graphic that matches your event aesthetic. We handle the design process in-house and output high-resolution UV-stable prints that are applied directly to your dance floor surface. See our Dance Floor Wraps page for more details.
Are cold sparklers safe for indoor venues?
Yes. Cold sparklers (also called cold pyro or cold spark machines) produce a non-flammable spark effect that operates at a low temperature and does not produce open flame or smoke. They are specifically designed for indoor use and do not trigger standard smoke detectors when operated correctly. All cold sparkler effects at FM Event Productions events are operated by a trained technician. We recommend notifying your venue coordinator in advance as some venues require prior approval.
How long does setup and breakdown take?
Setup and breakdown times vary by service and production scope. Dance floor wraps typically require 2–4 hours for installation. Event lighting setup ranges from 2–6 hours depending on fixture count and venue size. LED video walls and stage builds are scheduled with your venue based on load-in access. All timing details are confirmed and coordinated with your venue during the production planning phase.
Do you provide a dedicated attendant for photo booths and effects?
Yes. All photo booth rentals include a dedicated booth attendant for the full duration of your event. Cloud effect and cold sparkler operations are managed by a trained FM technician. LED video walls that include live content management are monitored by a dedicated operator. We do not drop off equipment and leave — our team is on-site for every event that requires active management.
Can you match specific colors for uplighting to our event palette?
Yes. Our uplighting fixtures are full RGBW LED and can be programmed to match virtually any color. Share your event color palette or Pantone references during the planning process and we will match the lighting design to your vision. Custom color programming is included at no additional charge.
What is included in a pipe and drape rental?
Our pipe and drape service includes uprights, bases, crossbars, and fabric panels in your selected color. Delivery, installation at your venue, and post-event breakdown and pickup are all included. We can configure draping to your venue layout requirements — straight runs, L-shapes, room dividers, head table backdrops, and photo booth enclosures. Custom heights and widths are available.
