About DC Scenics
The scenic shop behind Washington's most memorable rooms
We design, fabricate and install custom scenery for galas, ceremonies, conferences, broadcasts and celebrations, all from our own workshop in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Our story
Craft, precision and a Washington point of view
DC Scenics is the custom fabrication company within the Uniquely DC family. Our team designs and builds the scenery that Uniquely DC events and our own clients rely on: backdrops, stage sets, entrances, landmark replicas and fully branded environments.
Working in Washington, our pieces often end up where precision matters most: press events, policy summits, association galas and government ceremonies. Everything we make is built to look right on camera, go up quickly within venue load-in windows and stand up to the whole show.
Design, fabrication and installation all sit under one roof, so you get one accountable team from the first sketch to the final strike.
If you can picture it, we can build it, and we'll be the ones standing beside it on show day.
What sets us apart
Why planners and producers call DC Scenics
We're not a print shop or a broker. We're builders, and we own every step of the work.
Truly in-house
Design, carpentry, CNC, paint and finishing happen in our own shop, not handed off to subcontractors.
Washington-ready
Comfortable with government, association, press and diplomatic settings, where details and protocol matter.
CNC precision
Our sister company Capitol CNC cuts letters, logos and set parts with machine accuracy.
We install what we build
Our own crews deliver, install, support the event and strike, so nothing is lost in translation.
Build or rent
Choose a custom build or a ready-made piece from the Uniquely DC rental inventory.
One point of contact
Scenery, rentals, lighting and production can all be coordinated through one connected family of companies.
