Top Five Reasons Why You Need Backstage Event Space

Allotting space for an adequate backstage area is a necessary part of your event. There are several reasons why you should include backstage space in your technical floorplan, and we’ve compiled our top five that will really add value to your next event.

Reason #1: Provides Extra Storage Space

Many venues don’t have additional storage space for gear, and events require a lot of gear! Designing a backstage area allows us to use part of the space for our empty and working road cases, plus it keeps the back-up gear we bring nearby so it’s easily accessible when needed. As a budget and time savor as well, this keeps us from having to load cases back onto a trailer.

Reason #2: Hides Crew from Audiences

Like the Wizard of Oz, our crew is working hard behind the scenes to make the magic happen. Positioning them behind the curtain keeps our team at the heart of the action, but invisible to your audience, which creates a more professional appearance, reduces audience distractions, and maintains the focus right where you want it—center stage.

Reason #3: Creates a Grand Entrance for Presenters

Backstage, we can create temporary green rooms and speaker ready areas to provide a place for presenters to prepare themselves to take the stage and shine, if the venue doesn’t have additional rooms for this purpose. It also helps our team seamlessly transition between presenters, without scrambling to find them when it’s their turn to make their grand entrance on stage. Finally, these areas give them a place to decompress in between segments and regroup before their next time in the spotlight.

Reason #4: Keeps Your Glam Squad Close By

Backstage is the perfect place to set up hair and make-up artists for quick access to presenters for re-touching right before they take the stage, making certain they’re confident and stage ready.

Reason #5: Offers a Place to Breathe

As every event professional knows, choreographing a successful show is an incredibly busy and complicated undertaking. Sometimes you just need a moment to breathe! We can create a special place for you, our client, when you need a quiet moment backstage to collect yourself. And don’t worry, we’ll always have your favorite snack, drink, or just a comfy chair for you when you need a quick refresh!
