About Us

Downtown Decorations was established by Ted Peterson as a small holiday décor business run out of his home basement. His son Garrett Peterson joined the business in 2003, and we quickly outgrew our humble headquarters as we moved from strictly small-town, municipality work to large development and downtown projects. After years of steady growth, Downtown Decorations is now a premier provider of decor services with a portfolio spanning projects of all sizes around the globe. We continue, however, to retain the values of a family business that pours the same level of energy and passion into each project that we did on day one – we just do it out of a slightly larger, aboveground office.

While we like to think that our work speaks for itself, the way we do business and how we interact with our customers and partners are also integral to who we are as a company. These ideas are captured in our core values, which are not simply words on a website, but principles we live by each day. At Downtown Decorations, we are honest and open, passionate and enthusiastic. We are a one-stop shop for all things commercial decorations and want to provide our clients with the full “5-star hotel, hang out in the spa and get room service” kind of experience.
