Our tallest project of 2025 - the Impact of Speed tower - was a collaboration with @twotango.co to create an unforgettable visual representation for the DMV. We handled the initial structure design and logistics to bring this vision to life within tight deadlines. Did you catch it at the @gosquirrels game or @statefairva? Don't worry if not - it's making more appearances next year! #barkerdesigns #barkercreates #designbuild #logistics #eventmarketing

It's been a year filled with exciting projects, and this custom Neon Sign for @slaackproductions is one of our favorites. We designed and fabricated it to celebrate Bailey Zimmerman's new album, Different Night, Same Rodeo. After a night at a Barn Party, it took center stage on Broadway in downtown Nashville for a week. Built for life on the road, this sign is sure to make more appearances in the year to come. #barkerdesigns #customfabrication #nashville #countrymusic

For this #wbw #waybackwednesday we look back to this past winter when we designed and fabricated this set for our friends at @bondeventsdc and their client Cedar. While we built this entirely in Richmond, VA, it packed up into a reasonably sized road case and shipped to Napa, CA for the event. The installation was done by 3 Barker crew in about 5 hours. Then it was packed back up and shipped back to the East Coast where it awaits its next client event! We are experts at handling everything from concept creation to event setup, transportation and storage logistics. #barkerdesigns #barkercreates #customdesign #eventprofs #fabrication #customfabrication #rva #dcevents #napaevents #napa #logistics #touring #setdesign #scenicdesign #corporatemeetings #renderingtoreality #designbuild

#metamonday post! Back in May we built this #custom #set for our friends at @obexp and their client Meta for a meeting on congressional hill. This was a bit more complicated than it seems! We sourced ecologically responsible plywood then match the stain color to the walls of their HQ. The entire set was build from #sustainable materials! We also provided the custom logo sign, gloss white floor, gloss white podium, custom planter boxes, matching stage skirt and all of the live plants! #barkerdesigns #barkercreates #customfabrication #rva #richmondiscreative #setdesign #eventplanning #eventdesign #designbuild #dcevents #eventprofs #fabrication #meta

Late last month @markhamlive asked us to support them by taking on the task of dressing the stage and surrounding area for the @kamalaharris #dc rally at The Ellispe. With short notice, the @barkerdesigns team created a plan, purchased over 150 sheets of plywood, 13200 square feet of carpet, thousands of staples and screws and miles of tape. In 2.5 long days we laid all the carpet, skirted the stage with over 300’ of velour, and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. We all were honored to be apart of such a meaningful moment. #govote #vote #freedom #votefreedom #barkerdesigns #barkercreates #dcevent #theellipse #dcevents #markhamlive #markhamgroup #kamalaharris #rva #events #richmondiscreative #rvaevents #eventproduction #eventprofs #eventagency #eventdecor #eventdesign

#FBF to when we made a dozen #battery powered #finishline Buttons for @oasisexperiencemarketing and their client @anwnation to promote ANW Junior! These buttons and the rest of the event set ups were shipped to #ninjawarrior Gyms around the US. We used rechargeable Drill batteries that could be accessed from the bottom and there was an internal horn to mimic the sound effect from the show! To top it off, a CO2 effect was set up behind the button to complete the effect! #barkerdesigns #barker #barkercreates #customfabrication #marketingevent #marketingactivation #custommade #marketingagency #setdesign #eventdesign #customdesign #eventmarketingagency #eventmarketing #rva #richmondiscreative #ninja #ninjagym

This #waybackwednesday post throws back to May when we designed, fabricated and installed the set for @bondeventsdc and their client Emily’s List. The build time for this set was about 2.5 weeks. Fortunately for our clients, we have an incredible team on staff who can all see the vision and work towards the common goal! We were very happy with how nice this turned out and how this quickly this came out of the truck and installed, including the over 20’ wide US map and LED neon lettering. We were also excited to have the VP on stage for this event! #electprochoicewomen #barkerdesigns #barkercreates #designbuild #customfabrication #eventdesign #DCevents #custombuilt #setdesign #setdesigner #kamalaharris #scenicdesign #scenicdesigner #eventdesigner #stagedesign

#FBF to a few weeks ago when we installed giant luminaries around the #carppond on #themall for Hanson Productions and @americancancersociety for their #lightsofhope event. The bags are over 7’ tall and we designed, printed & installed all 54 LED powered bags and a custom LED Entry Arch.

It’s finally out in the public eye and we can finally show off what might be our most #epicproject to date! Our good friends at @oasisexperiencemarketing tapped us to re-create this truly amazing vehicle from last years #tmnt movie. To start we had to find an ultra rare #lefthanddrive #mitsubishidelica. Once secured, we immediately jumped into the design phase to figure out how to make it all happen. The #barkerdesigns team spent hours upon hours capturing every angle of this #pizzadelivery van from the #teenagemutantninjaturtlesmutantmayhem movie and reviewing the toys to ensure the final product was beyond #perfect. We will get into some more of the #customfabrication work that was done in the next few posts. Keep your eyes out for this #sweet #minivan #delica in a city near you.

A while back in 2023 we designed and fabricated this #custom #photoop for @oasisexperiencemarketing and their client Simon Teen. It’s traveled from #coasttocoast and had tons of folks visit for #freebies and #photos. It’s made from #cnc cut #foam on a lightweight wooden structure.
