Fabulous Events Inc. is expanding and adding on to its warehouse in Waterford while closing a separate showroom in West Bloomfield to consolidate to one location. Specializing in table linens, chair covers, overlays, runners, napkins, tableware, chargers, Chiavari chairs, lighting, and pipe and drape systems, the Waterford-based company services more than 2,000 corporate or business events a year nationwide.
“We created a new showroom in Waterford and added … about 3,000 square feet to our warehouse operation as well,” says Fabulous Events Inc. President Lyle Brous, who started out owning a DJ and video company before adding on more services. He’s since closed the music and video side of the operation. “Bringing our entire team under one roof creates a better synergy between all departments,” he says.
Brous says it’s a good time for Fabulous Events Inc. to be expanding, as current trends include clients wanting more customization and leaning toward higher-end products. “I think they’re realizing, especially when it comes to charity events and galas, that the more money they spend, the more money they make,” he says. “They’re going up in their average spend for events.”
In the meantime, the company has continued to expand its offerings. “We are constantly bringing in new patterns, new designs,” he says. “We do a lot of custom designs as well.”
For example, Fabulous Events Inc. can custom print table linens. “Sometimes clients want to do logos and designs—something that ties in with the color palette. They want it all to tie in with the event.”
Glass placemats can also be personalized. “We carry over 100 different designs, then we can customize them,” Brous says. “People usually replace the charger with the glass placemat because it stays on the table all the time.” Metal placemats are also available.
Fabulous Events Inc. can handle gatherings of all sizes. “We just did an event for the Super Bowl, which I think was 6,500 people,” Brous says. The company offers local delivery and installation around southeastern Michigan and also ships nationwide.
Clients can explore the company’s thousands of rental products at its website.
