EVENT STAGE RENTALS
Stage Rentals in Phoenix, Arizona
Stage rentals in Phoenix come down to one question most people skip: can the back of the room see the person talking? Epic Party Team stocks event stages in a 12" height and a 24" height, with skirt facades in natural ash, white, and black, plus black skirting in 8ft sections. The 12" deck suits a head table, a ceremony platform, a band riser, or a short program in a room with clear sightlines. The 24" deck is the call when the audience is seated at dining rounds and the people in row six are looking past eight rows of heads. We have set stages at Phoenix valley events since 2008 and deliver, set up, and collect across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Glendale, Peoria, and Goodyear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Details to help plan your staging quote
Should I rent a 12 inch or a 24 inch stage?+
Choose based on how the audience is seated. A 12" deck is enough for a head table, a ceremony platform, a band riser, or a program where the audience stands or sits in a few unobstructed rows. A 24" deck is the right call when guests are seated at dining rounds, because by roughly the fourth row a 12" lift no longer clears the heads in front.
Why does seating at round tables change the stage height I need?+
At a 60" round seating 8, guests face in all directions and many are looking at the stage through two or three rows of other guests. That is a taller visual obstruction than rows of theater seating create. The extra 12 inches of deck height keeps a speaker's head and torso visible much deeper into the room.
What is the difference between stage skirting and a stage facade?+
Skirting is fabric that hangs from the deck edge to the floor, and we carry it in black in 8ft sections so the run can be built to your deck's perimeter. A facade is a finished panel front, available in natural ash, white, and black, which reads as built architecture rather than as draped rental equipment.
Which facade color should I choose?+
Natural ash suits venues going for warmth and texture and photographs well against wood and greenery. White fits clean modern design and picks up room lighting. Black recedes, which is what you want when the attention belongs entirely on the presenters and any screen behind them.
How big should my stage be?+
Size it from the program, not from a guess. A single speaker at a lectern needs far less than most people rent. A four person panel needs depth for seated chairs to move behind the front edge. A band needs footprint per player plus drum and monitor space. Then add circulation room, since people have to walk on and off, sometimes in formal wear and carrying things.
Do you set up and level the stage, or do we?+
Our crews deliver, assemble, level, and skirt the stage, then collect it after the event. It does not arrive in pieces for your team or your AV vendor to build. Coordinate the placement with us or your production company so the deck lands where the sightlines and the cable runs both work.
Can a stage be set up outdoors?+
Yes, and outdoor programs are common in Phoenix from October through April. The requirement outdoors is ground that is level and stable enough to carry the deck under load. Grass, decomposed granite, and pavers each behave differently. Tell us the surface and the access route from the loading area when you book.
Where should the stage go in the room?+
Avoid defaulting to the longest wall. In a rectangular room, placing the stage on the short wall usually puts more guests closer to it. Also plan a staging area beside or behind the deck for people waiting to present, with a route to reach it that does not cross the dance floor or cut through dining tables.
Can I use a stage for a wedding ceremony or head table?+
Yes. The 12" deck is commonly used for ceremony platforms, head tables, and sweetheart tables, where the goal is separation from the floor rather than height for a seated audience. It lifts the couple enough for guests and photographers without turning the setup into a proscenium.
Does the stage need a backdrop?+
Not always, but consider what is behind it. Whatever stands behind a stage appears in every photograph of everyone who stands on it, including service doors, exit signs, and ballroom partitions. Pipe and drape behind the deck solves that and also gives presenters a clean, uncluttered field to be seen against.

Pipe & Drape
Drape backdrops and room division. A stage without a backdrop puts whatever is behind it into every photograph of the person on it.
View ->Chair Rentals
Side chairs for audience seating and accent chairs for panels. How the audience is seated is what determines whether you need the 12" or the 24" deck.
View ->Tables & Seating
Dining rounds and banquets. A 60" round seats 8 and a 72" seats 10, which sets how many rows of heads sit between the back of the room and the stage.
View ->Event Accents
Lighting, signage, and columns. A stage is only as visible as its lighting, and the sides of a stage are where mass and framing do the most work.
View ->Plant Rentals
Trees and large plants for framing the edges of a stage. Olive trees and palms give a platform visual weight at the sides without blocking sightlines.
