Is it not possible for you (or your coordinators) hang something over the drapes? Does it have to be done by professionals?
My colors are fuschia and apple green. My reception facility is burgandy and hunter green. I honestly don't care about the drapes or the carpet, nor do I ever pay attention to them when I go to weddings. To compensate, I have white chair cushions for my (tan, supposedly gold) chavari chairs, I have a raspberry underlay for the tables and a white overlay. The colors actually go well, and I'm imagining that once the candlelight is going, people (and food) have filled the room, people aren't going to care what color the drapes are.
i had a peach celadon (aka lime green) theme going on. i dno't remember what the carpet or walls were like.maybe tawny tan wallpaper? and some hunter green patterned carpet? i remember the dancing space was sorta ugly tiles..but nobody noticed or cared, and you can't see it in any of the wedding photos, all you see is the lovely celadon table covers, and the happy people at the wedding.
if it's too expensive, like previously mentioned, just forget about it--- it won't even be a blip on your radar on your wedding day!
Thanks for the suggestions. I have provided a link to the reception hall

Sometimes lighting can do wonders. Maybe check out a few lighting companies in your area?
Thanks Angel, I would like blue lighting, however, the reception is a Brunch. My 2nd dilemma is the natural light. I really want a Blue effect.
oh, bri, i'm sorry you don't like red, but i actually think the navy and silver will go nicely in that room.
if you wanted to cover them up, think about miss jasmine's earlier post with pictures of indian weddings-- remember how there were strands of flowers over everything? maybe some kind of draped flower arrangement or 'chains' of flowers like jasmine. (or fake flowers, since they'd be cheaper).
I think the red drapes will be barely noticeable once you get everything else into the room. I was expecting heavy red drapes by your description, but the pictures show a much more subtle red; I think if you make peace with the red, you (and your guests) won't even notice them when all is said and done 
I would agree that they red drapes are not that bad. The flower idea is a good one, but honestly if you left the drapes as they are I don't think anyone would notice.
I agree too, the red drapes aren't bad!! I wouldn't worry about it too much...
You could build a frame out of wood that cover the drapes completely, probably like a 2x4 or 2x6 or even smaller then hang white sheets to look like curtains inside.

Hi, Can anyone suggestion/help with ideals on how to cover up Red Drapes at a reception hall. The dilemma is my color scheme, which is Navy Blue and Silver. Also, Red is my less favorite color. The hall can not remove the drapes and to have professionals hang blue drapes over the installed Red drapes are extremely expensive just for 3 hours. Can any creative bride help me. HELP, HELP, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
