Graduation season on the Westside runs late May through mid-June — UCLA, USC, the private high schools (Crossroads, Harvard-Westlake, Brentwood School, Marlborough), and the public ones (Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica). We build installations for the after-ceremony party, the photo session, and the full-blown reception: marquee year-numbers ("2026" / "2027"), school-color balloon walls, custom name banners, photo zones for the cap-and-gown shots. Book 4-6 weeks ahead; graduation Saturdays fill our calendar fast through May-June.

Marquee & Year Numbers

Marquee Letters & Year Numbers

Four-foot LED marquee letters that spell the grad's name and four-foot "2026" or "2027" year numbers — the centerpiece for graduation photo sessions. Reusable, delivered, set up, picked up. Pairs beautifully with a balloon arch or garland behind for a complete photo zone.
