ABOUT THE HIVE
The Hive, as it is affectionately known, takes a distinctive approach to the design process, focusing on residential decor in an event environment. We share a desire, passion and focus centered on creating fresh, inspired event design while methodically creating intimate settings that encourage a personal connection.
Each and every design detail including lounge vignettes, bar settings, tablescapes, accents, event branding, florals, lighting and drape is led by our talented team. Our clients represent those planning for social, wedding, corporate, and non-profit organizations. With all of them in mind, we proudly developed, Eclectic Hive, a boutique event design & rental house.
Philosophy
Eclectic Hive is a collaboration of professionals that draw upon multiple philosophies, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into crafting an experience for our clients that achieves their purpose. We place a high value on quality work, balance of life, community, and responsibility to each other, as well as our projects.
