A great outdoor stage can be the difference between a memorable event and an embarrassing flop for your reputation as an event planner or event host. If you think about it, the stage is always literally the centre of attention at every event. It’s the one spot everyone is always looking or straining to look at during the entire event. And as such, the stage should be prepared with this in mind. If everyone’s eyes are going to be there, it has to be worth the attention, and even more importantly; it should not be a bundle of flops waiting to be discovered.

This article explains four crucial tips that can help you hire an outdoor stage for your event, especially if it’s your first time hosting an event. 

Make Sure To Choose Levelled Ground
With outdoor events, attention to detail is always critical. When you set up an event outside, you’re at the mercy of elements that you could have had under control if the event was happening inside a building—one of such elements is the ground. A good outdoor stage company will ensure that the ground at the venue for your event is in excellent condition. This is why it is crucial to work with a trustworthy outdoor stage company. If you are having a hard time finding the right outdoor stage service provider to work with, https://www.outdoorstages.co.uk/ is a great place to start your search. You cannot set up your stage on rough or uneven ground because the stage will not be properly balanced on the floor if you do. This is so important that you will have to level it first if the only ground available is not levelled. That’s why it’s best just to choose levelled ground from the get-go, so you don’t have to take on the extra work and money of levelling the ground first.

For Stage Options, Go For The Steel Deck Hire
There are lots of outdoor stages available in the market, but the one that’s the best all-around option is often the Steel Deck Hire; it’s widely acknowledged as one of the best stages for outdoor events. They are thoroughly secure, durable, and sturdy enough for the weight you will be putting on them. It has all the features you need to give your event a fantastic experience. It’s the people’s choice at this point, and for a good reason. 

Confirm The Source Of Power Before Choosing The Venue
This is an essential determining factor for choosing the venue. Before deciding on the venue to use, make sure there’s a standard facility for power available. Then, take it a step further by doing a quality control check on this facility. You do not want power outages cutting down the power supply at your event and getting guests angry with you. To avoid any accidents that could cause an event flop to make sure you check out the source of power and confirm that it can genuinely serve your event. You can even do a test run just to be double sure. Preventing problems is always much more fun than solving them. 
​

Do A Proper Quality Check On The Stage

Before signing off on everything, make sure you’ve done your quality check on the stage you’re hiring. Check for hidden faults, look out for masked damages, and check how well it’s working. You may be employing the highest-rated stage, but you still have to ensure that it’s actually in good condition. Also, check to make sure that it can carry the weight of everything you need on the stage. It won’t be fun to have people falling off the stage or having to stage crumbling under certain weights. 

Also, remember to factor in the stage design you have planned. Even though it all depends on your creativity and coordination skills, you should have the stage design at the back of your mind as you do a check on the stage. Remember that asides from being functional the stage itself is also serving as a prop and contributes to the general aesthetics of the event. So make sure that it can work with the design you have planned. Look out for other important features like the lighting; lighting is so important that it can determine the mood or vibe of the entire event. With this in mind make sure to check that the exact lighting functions you need are properly working the way you need them to.

Finally, make sure you get all the required permits and licenses well before the date of the event. If there’s going to be alcohol served at the event then you will need a license to do so, you will also need a permit to hold the event in the first place. And if a lot of cars will be at the venue then you need to consider other issues like road closure and diversions. 

If you’ve done all of this then you are good to go.

Have fun with your event!
