Custom Wood Fabrication · Est. 2022
If you can dream it, we can build it.
Welcome signs, backdrops, branded carts, and custom CNC pieces — engineered and hand-finished by Asad & Hiba, just outside Chicago.
Built For
Event designers, planners, and brands we've built for.
The Studio
We don't just decorate celebrations.
We engineer them.
AH Crafted is the fabrication studio of AH Cares LLC — a husband-and-wife workshop where an engineer and a designer build custom wood pieces for weddings, events, and brands. We don't just decorate; we engineer. Every piece is drawn, cut, and finished by hand in our shop outside Chicago.
What We Make
From a sheet of plywood
Backdrops & Panels
Big presence, precision-cut.
Plywood backdrops, arches, and panels — from plain flat silhouettes to intricate CNC-cut jali — engineered to read as solid sculpture and finished by hand. Solid panels or walk-through arches, any size, any design; modular builds available for transport.
Learn more 02Props & Set Pieces
The pieces that set the scene.
Free-standing props and set pieces — themed cutouts, oversized decor, the details that turn a room into a scene. Built to be hauled, staged, and reused, then broken down clean.
Learn more 03Mobile & Branded Carts
A rolling piece of your brand.
Mobile carts for events and branded display carts for businesses — from a simple favor cart to a full espresso bar in your colors and logo. Built to roll, built to last, and built to look like it belongs to you.
Learn more 04Signs & Charts
The first thing your guests see.
Custom welcome signs, seating charts, and monogram panels — CNC-carved or hand-finished. We translate your monogram, fonts, and palette into a crisp, durable piece that sets the tone the moment guests walk in.

If you can dream it, we can build it.
The pieces that don't fit a category. Bring us a sketch, a Pinterest board, or a half-formed idea — an engineer and a designer will tell you honestly whether it's buildable, what it'll take, and then make it.

Kind Words

One year later and the cart is going strong.
Above and beyond what I expected. Loved it.
Y'all snapped with these arches! It was a whole vibe!
Love this! Will let our studio clients know there's a local expert.
