Common Uses of Stages and Runways for Events

14 Mar Common Uses of Stages and Runways for Events

There are many ways you can go about creating a striking and noticeable atmosphere for your upcoming event, and the use of certain large-scale rentals are often top options here. In particular, the use of stages and runways is often a great way to lend credibility and style to your event, plus to accomplish several practical needs.

At In The Event, we offer a wide range of stages, runways, dance floors and other large event rentals for any kind of event you’re throwing around Utah. What are some of the most common ways these sorts of items are used at various events, and that might inspire you with some ideas for yours? Let’s have a look.

As a Pool Cover

For varying event types, from weddings to corporate gatherings, many people like to use large-scale rentals for a functional purpose. One of the most common uses for this is to provide a pool cover when you need one, both for safety and aesthetics reasons. A covered pool can create more space for your event and allow seating arrangements without worrying about anyone getting into the water.

For instance, a given setup might include a runway that runs down the center of the pool. Event honorees can walk down the runway as they’re being honored, then stand on a stage setup at one end of the pool. This sort of setup can give a great sense of presence, with guests having to look down the length of the runway and stage in order to see those being honored.

As an Interactive Piece

Many event planners are now opting for interactive pieces such as stages that allow people to interact with each other while they’re at the event or else to use the stage themselves. This can be a great way of getting guests interacting with each other and having more fun at the event, while giving them something interesting to look at during those moments when they aren’t engaged in conversation or activity.

For instance, you might have a stage setup that allows people to dance on it, or for the band or DJ to use for performances. During breaks between performers, the stage might be open for people to come up and take turns playing their own songs, or else just to mingle and talk on it. Alternatively, you could have a runway set up as an interactive piece that allows guests to walk down it while they’re at the event.

As a Focal Point

Some people like to use stages and runways simply as a focal point, with no particular purpose other than making an area or activity stand out from the rest. For instance, you might have a runway set up that leads to a dance floor, in order to draw people’s attention to the dance area and encourage them to take part.

You could also have a stage setup as a backdrop for different activities, such as awards ceremonies at corporate events or speeches during weddings. This can create a great sense of atmosphere and make the activity stand out, making for an exciting and memorable event.

For an Actual Fashion Show

Some people naturally associate the term “runway” with fashion shows and this is another great way to use a runway rental for your event. Whether you’re going for a traditional catwalk style setup or something more modern, having a visually appealing and memorable fashion show can be a great way to make your event stand out from the crowd and ensure it’s remembered forever.

For Presentations or Seminars

Many corporate events or other gatherings require presentations and seminars, and these can sometimes be made more memorable by having them take place on a stage. A stage with some lights set up around it can create a professional atmosphere, as well as make the presenter stand out from the crowd.

Having an interesting and visually striking backdrop can also help ensure that your presentation stands out in people’s minds and is remembered for a long time to come.

Overall, there are a lot of different uses for stage and runway rentals at events, from creating an interactive experience to providing safety and focal points. With a little bit of creativity, you can find the perfect setup to suit your event’s needs and ensure that it stands out from the crowd.
