AMBIANCE Event Design is the luxury design division of U.S. Tent Rental, a trusted leader in the event industry with more than 25 years of experience. While AMBIANCE focuses on design, curation, custom draping design, lighting design, luxury rentals, and custom fabrication, our connection to U.S. Tent Rental provides the production expertise, infrastructure, and operational support necessary to execute exceptional events seamlessly.

This partnership allows our clients to benefit from a highly personalized design experience while having confidence in the capabilities and experience of an established event organization that has been serving Florida since 2001.

Both! AMBIANCE is a luxury event design studio first and foremost. While we offer a curated collection of luxury rentals, our focus is on design, curation, and creating cohesive event environments. We work closely with clients, planners, and venues to develop a custom design concept that reflects the vision and atmosphere of each event.

We provide event design services for weddings, corporate events, galas, fundraisers, private celebrations, social events, brand activations, and luxury gatherings of all sizes. Whether it's an intimate dinner or a large-scale production, our approach remains rooted in thoughtful design and curation.

Custom draping design is one of our signature services. Through the strategic use of fabric, texture, scale, and architectural placement, we transform venues and create beautiful focal points. Draping can soften a space, define event areas, enhance a tented environment, or completely reimagine the look and feel of a venue or tent.

Our lighting design services are tailored to enhance the ambiance and overall design of an event. From warm, romantic lighting and dramatic uplighting to statement installations and custom lighting concepts, we use illumination as a key design element to shape the guest experience and transform a space.

Custom fabrication allows us to create one-of-a-kind design elements tailored specifically to your event. This may include statement bars, architectural features, backdrops, stage elements, display structures, specialty décor, and other bespoke installations that bring a unique design vision to life.

As the luxury design division of the U.S. Tent Rental family of companies, we have extensive experience designing tented environments. Through custom draping design, lighting design, curated furnishings, luxury rentals, and custom fabrication, we transform tents into sophisticated event spaces tailored to each celebration.

While our expertise is focused on event design and curation, we regularly collaborate with professional planners who oversee logistics, timelines, vendor coordination, and overall event management. When a planner is involved, our teams work seamlessly together to bring the design vision to life. When a planner is not involved, we focus on the creative direction and design elements of the event, ensuring a beautiful and cohesive guest experience.
