Hi friends! I'm so excited to introduce this incredible local business to you!
Some of the best businesses are born out of passion, creativity, and a desire to bring people together—and Upscale Studio and Events is a perfect example. What started as intimate, themed gatherings during the pandemic quickly blossomed into a full-scale event design and photography studio, proving that even in uncertain times, beautiful new beginnings can emerge.
Located in Charlotte, Upscale Studio and Events is more than just a venue—it’s a space where moments are captured, celebrations come to life, and creativity knows no bounds. Whether you're looking for a chic, intimate setting for your next event, a fully-equipped photography studio, or stunning décor to elevate your special occasion, this local gem offers it all.
The journey behind this business is just as inspiring as the space itself. From experimenting with balloon designs to stepping out of a comfort zone and building a thriving brand, this is a story of passion, perseverance, and the power of community. Let’s dive into what makes Upscale Studio and Events a must-know name in Charlotte’s event scene!
My name is Dominique Delk, and I am a wife, mom, and entrepreneur with a passion for creativity and connection. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I relocated to Charlotte, NC, in 2016 after graduating college. Together with my husband, a talented photographer, we founded Upscale Studio and Events to combine our shared passions for photography and event design. We are proud parents to our 6-year-old son, Ace, and are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our baby girl in March 2025.
The journey to starting Upscale Studio and Events began during the COVID-19 pandemic. With restaurants and social outings paused, I started decorating for intimate, themed gatherings at home for friends and family. As I experimented with event décor and balloon designs, I fell in love with the art of transforming spaces. Encouraged by the success of these gatherings and inspired by a childhood friend who opened an event space in Cleveland, my husband and I envisioned a way to merge his photography expertise with my newfound passion for event design.
At Upscale Studio and Events, we offer a multifunctional space and exceptional services tailored to our clients’ needs. Our photography studio is equipped with studio lighting, backdrops, and props, making it the perfect space for photographers to unleash their creativity. The event space, which can host up to 50 seated guests, provides a blank canvas for any occasion. With included amenities such as tables, chairs, Wi-Fi, and surround sound, we ensure our clients have everything they need for a successful event. Additionally, we offer event décor services to bring any vision to life, featuring centerpieces, focal points, balloons, and backdrops. For larger events, our Upscale Events team provides party rentals and décor throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
We believe in making luxury events accessible to everyone, offering affordable rates without compromising quality. As someone who is naturally shy, building and promoting my business has been a journey of growth and courage. One highlight was partnering with Ladies Lifestyle Network, where I created a balloon backdrop and served as a vendor at an event. This opportunity allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and connect with other like-minded women entrepreneurs in Charlotte. As an advocate for women, especially women of color, moms, and entrepreneurs, I am committed to empowering others while celebrating their unique stories and milestones.
