Certified Rigging Expertise for Circus, Events, and Theatre

When it comes to aerial and circus rigging, safety and precision are paramount. At Velvet Edge, we bring over a decade of professional rigging experience directly to your venue, event, or residential project. Our certified rigger has an impressive portfolio that includes work with Cirque Du Soleil shows, major corporate productions, and renowned circus schools across North America. Whether you are planning a large scale theatrical production or need a single point rigged in your home studio, our team delivers the same meticulous attention to detail and commitment to safety standards that the industry's biggest names demand.

Comprehensive Rigging Services in Partnership with Professional Engineers

Our rigging services extend far beyond simple installation. We offer complete consultation for clients who are unsure what equipment they need or how to safely rig for their specific scenario. Our professional rigger can guide you through selecting the proper aerial apparatus, rigging hardware, and equipment requirements based on your intended use, whether that is silks, trapeze, lyra, or custom aerial installations. For structural assessments and load calculations, we partner with professional engineers who evaluate structural integrity and ensure every installation meets or exceeds industry standards. This collaborative approach means you receive the expertise of both seasoned rigging professionals and certified structural engineers for complete peace of mind. For residential clients, we help transform living spaces, garages, or outdoor areas into safe training environments that bring the magic of aerial arts into your daily life.

From Major Productions to Personal Projects

No project is too large or too small for our rigging expertise. We have installed rigging points for grand theatrical performances requiring multiple aerialists, complex counterweight systems, and dynamic rigging solutions, as well as single point installations for personal training at home. Our experience spans arena shows, festival stages, corporate galas, weddings with aerial entertainment, and private residences. We understand that every project has unique requirements, and we approach each one with fresh eyes and tailored solutions. When you work with Velvet Edge, you are not just getting a rigger; you are getting a partner who understands the artistic vision behind the technical requirements and works with our engineering partners to make that vision a safe reality.

FAQ for Professional Aerial & Circus Rigging

What types of spaces can you rig for aerial equipment?
We can rig in virtually any space with adequate structural support, including theatres, event venues, warehouses, circus studios, gyms, private homes, garages, and outdoor locations. We partner with professional engineers who conduct thorough structural assessments to identify suitable rigging points or recommend reinforcement options when needed. For residential installations, we commonly work with exposed beams, ceiling joists, and freestanding aerial rigging frames.
Do you provide the rigging hardware or just the installation service?
We offer both options. We can supply professional grade rigging hardware including carabiners, swivels, spansets, and rigging plates, or we can install equipment you have already purchased. During our consultation, we can advise on the best equipment for your specific needs and budget, ensuring everything meets industry safety standards for aerial work.
How far in advance should I book rigging services for an event?
For major productions and corporate events, we recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance to allow time for site coordination with our partner engineers, load calculations, and coordination with other vendors. For residential installations and smaller projects, 2 to 3 weeks notice is typically sufficient. However, we understand that emergencies happen, and we do our best to accommodate last minute requests when our schedule permits.
Are you insured and certified for rigging work?
Yes, our rigger holds current certifications and maintains comprehensive insurance coverage appropriate for rigging work in both commercial and residential settings. We provide certificates of insurance upon request and follow all applicable safety standards including those established by OSHA, ANSI, and ETTRA. Our partner engineers also carry appropriate professional liability insurance. Documentation of all installations, including load ratings and inspection reports, is provided for every project we complete.
Can you rig for multiple aerialists or dynamic aerial work?
Absolutely. Our experience includes rigging for complex productions with multiple simultaneous aerialists, dynamic swinging acts, and flying trapeze. We work with our partner engineers to calculate dynamic loads, install appropriate shock absorption systems, and ensure all rigging can safely handle the forces generated by moving performers. Whether you need a simple single point for yoga silks or a complex theatrical rigging system, we have the expertise to execute it safely.
