Stage & Runways

Stages that put the moment in view

A stage solves a sightline problem. When the couple sits at a sweetheart table, a speaker gives a toast or a band plays a set, guests at the back of the room need to see over the people in front. A raised platform does that and marks the spot as the center of attention.

Stages for every part of the program

The band stage is a raised platform of white decks with room for drums, keys and front-line players. DJ staging stacks lit decks into tiers with steps on each side, a natural fit for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and Sweet 16s. The bridal stage glows softly from within and, dressed with draping and a settee, keeps the couple in view of every table. Pro LED staging builds lighting into the platform for corporate presentations and award nights, and black decks give a matte, low platform for a panel or a DJ, indoors or on sand and lawn. Compare them all under stages.

Runways and aisle runners

A white acrylic runway carries fashion shows, pageants and product reveals through the audience. For a ceremony, a mirror aisle runner reflects the florals overhead, and a glossy white runner keeps the processional line crisp on grass, tile or carpet.

Planning your staging

• Start from the program. List who goes on stage and what they bring: a band’s gear needs more room than a lectern.
• Think about sightlines. Place the stage where the most tables face it, not where it is easiest to fit.
• Plan the steps and the path. Speakers and couples need a clear route on and off the stage.
• Dress the edges. Add pipe and drape behind and lighting around it.
• Ask your venue about load-in so the build fits its schedule.

Staging across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

Most of our staging goes up in New York City: Manhattan hotel ballrooms for galas, lofts for runway shows and corporate launches, and event spaces across the five boroughs. On Long Island, we build bridal and DJ stages in Nassau and Suffolk catering halls and country clubs, and band stages inside backyard tents, all from our Farmingdale base. Visit the showroom to see the decks before you book. We also build stages in the Hamptons, on lawns and sand, and in Westchester and the Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Connecticut.
