New Year Party Planning and Decor in Toronto

Fix the room and the headcount first, then choose one look, one photo moment and one countdown moment. A shimmer wall, a ceiling of balloons, the year in lights and a champagne toast at midnight are the pieces most hosts build around. We plan and decorate the whole evening or only the parts you want.

It depends on the party you want. Public events sell tickets through venues and event listings; a private party works best in a room that fits your guest list, with rules that allow your music, effects and decor. We decorate private parties at homes, halls, restaurants, hotels and offices; our venues page lists rooms we decorate.

Canada has six time zones, so New Year arrives first in Newfoundland and last on the Pacific coast. In Toronto the countdown is at midnight Eastern Time. If guests join from other provinces, plan the toast by your local clock and share the clips afterwards.

No. Event Creation is a decor and planning studio. We plan and decorate private New Year’s Eve parties and company events, and we do not run ticketed public parties.

Yes, on their own pages. This page is for the January 1 celebration; see Lunar New Year decorations and Nowruz decoration for those.

One palette repeated in four places: the door, the photo wall, the tables and the ceiling. Black, gold and silver with the year in lights is the most common choice, and a champagne wall at the entrance gives guests a welcome and a photo spot.

Yes. Light-up marquee numbers styled with balloons are listed from $320 for one 4 ft number and from $390 for two numbers styled as one piece. A full 2027 is quoted in writing.

Yes, indoors with the venue’s approval. A dry ice effect is listed from $350 for 5 minutes, and cold spark fountains are quoted by the number of units and firings. We check the venue’s effects policy and time the effect with your DJ or MC.

Yes. We size the design to the room and bring panel sizes that fit low ceilings and narrow doors. A backdrop, a garland, marquee numbers and a champagne table suit most party rooms.

Air-filled garlands and walls look good for days indoors. Helium latex balloons float for roughly 10 to 24 hours, so helium pieces are installed on the day of the party.

The starting prices listed on this website are a 12 ft balloon garland from $250, a ceiling garland from $250, a shimmer wall with balloons from $420, a marquee number from $320 and a classic photo booth from $410. The total depends on the date, the venue and the size, and is confirmed in a written quote.

Two to three weeks for decor-only orders and three to four weeks when a booth, entertainment or florals are included. December is our busiest month, so send the brief as early as you can; short notice is sometimes possible, so call (416) 230-9723 with your date.

Yes. We decorate in brand colours with the logo on a column or a wall, add the year in marquee numbers and a booth with your overlay, and can plan the venue, the programme and the staff. See our corporate holiday party planning for the full service.

Often, yes. A party in January avoids the busiest weeks of December, gives you a wider choice of venues and install times and keeps the winter theme. Many companies call it a new year celebration.
