Why Ambiance Sells

The Season Is a Reason to Stay

Guests choose where to celebrate by how a room feels. A dining room dressed for the holidays turns an ordinary reservation into an occasion, and guests linger for one more course and one more toast.

The feeling travels, too. Every table photographed beneath a glowing garland reaches friends deciding where to book their own holiday dinner, and a beautifully lit entrance draws in guests from the sidewalk.

Guests Stay Longer

A warm, glowing room invites dessert, a nightcap and one more round.

Photos That Travel

Guests share the moment, and their friends see exactly where to book.

More Foot Traffic

A lit entrance and patio catch the eye of everyone passing by.

Holiday Bookings

Private dinners and office parties look for rooms that already feel festive.

How It Works

Completely Done for Your Business

Every GC Design Decor commercial installation is a fully leased package. We design it with you, install it around your hours, care for it all season and take it all away when the season ends. Your guests simply enjoy a beautifully styled venue.

    Request a Quote

    Share your business, your dates and the look you love. We reply with a private quote tailored to your property.

  2. 02

    We Design Your Vision With You

    Together we shape your theme in a design consultation, from palette and ribbon to every tree, garland and light, styled to suit your brand.

  3. 03

    We Install It

    Our team arrives on schedule, after hours or before opening, and installs every piece with white glove care. Your staff and guests simply walk in to the finished look.

  4. 04

    We Maintain It All Season

    If anything ever needs attention, a bulb, a bow or a branch, we come back and make it right so your venue stays guest ready.

  5. 05

    We Take It All Down

    When the season ends, we remove every piece and leave your property exactly as we found it.

  6. 06

    We Store It Off Site

    Everything returns to our storage. Nothing takes over your storeroom, back office or loading dock.

You own nothing. We lease the full package, then take it all away.

Nothing to buy, nothing to store, nothing to lift. It is the calm, effortless way to give your storefront, lobby or dining room a catalog quality look every season.

After Hours Installation

Never in the Way of Service

We install overnight or before opening, so your dining room never closes for decorating and guests never see a ladder.

Install

Our crew works after close and leaves every table, booth and walkway clean and guest ready.

Maintain

If a bulb, a bow or a branch needs attention, we return outside service hours and make it right.

Take Down

When the season ends, we remove every piece after hours and store it all off site.

The GC Design Decor Approach

You Own Nothing. Everything Is Handled.

Your holiday look is leased and completely done for you. We quote, design your vision with you, install, maintain, take down and store it off site.

Leased and Done for You

Your restaurant owns nothing and stores nothing. Every tree, garland and light leaves with us after the season.

Commercial Grade

Our lights and greenery are commercial grade, made to look full and bright night after night through the busiest weeks of the year.

Curation a la Carte

Fall in love with a piece? Curation is available a la carte, so a signature item can stay with you.

Use What You Own

Have pieces with history? We can blend decorations you already own with our collection for a look that feels like yours.

Every restaurant is different, so each design is prepared as a private quote after a walkthrough of your space.

Request a commercial quote and we will plan a season your guests will remember.
