When you hire a stage for your event, it doesn’t have to look like it’s come straight from the factory. Customising your stage is a great opportunity to enhance your brand or the brand of your event.

We’ve come up with a list of things you can do to customise your stage to suit your event.

Banners

One way to expose your audience to your brand is with banners. Design a backdrop to hang or use the PA wings to have banners on the sides too.

Below you will see great ways our clients have used the space available for banners to customise their stage. Their brand and feel for the event is instantly recognisable and the use of banners is very effective.

Branded Gazebo top

Our modular stage can come with a gazebo for weatherproofing. These are usually black but why not use your own branded gazebo. This would ensure your logo and company are in plain sight for everyone staring at the stage. Not an opportunity to miss.

Lights

If you’re having a musical performance, you may already have thought of this because lights add atmosphere and evoke emotions. Having a compelling light show, specifically for your event can really highlight the performance but you can also add other types of lighting.



Fairy lights look great and add a whimsical feel, they also work well for Christmas. Light up letters and lit Christmas trees are also a good option.

Coloured skirts

Each stage comes with a black skirt that goes around the bottom of the stage, but you could switch it up and use a coloured skirt instead. You can coordinate it to the rest of your event and help get your message across. For example, if you are running an eco-festival, why not make it green. Or if it’s a toddler event a bright orange or red would look great and eye catching.

Decorations

You can also decorate the stage, like you would any venue. You could add drapes, lanterns, garlands, flags and bunting to the stage. Pick the colours that match the theme of your event or even add your company’s brand for an extra dose of exposure.

Add a screen

This is a costly option, but it might be perfect for your event. Adding a screen to either replay the live action so more people can see the performance or to display graphics, logos and branding will add a whole new dimension to your show. It will also make it standout and be more memorable for the audience. 

Add Props

This option is similar to our last idea, but you can use props to decorate the stage to enhance the theme and really make the stage pop. You can check out our blog post on how prop hire can enhance your Christmas event for more ideas and information, but you don't have to limit yourself to only using it at Christmas.
