Stage & Riser Rental in Nashville
Ballroom stages to festival main stages — delivered, built, leveled & struck by our crew
Staging Is Never a Drop-Off Item
A stage carries your speakers, your band, and your brand — it has to be level, rated, and safe. Every Nashville Audio Visual stage rental comes with the crew that builds it: decks sized to your program, adjustable heights, steps, skirting, guardrails, and ADA ramps, all safety-checked before a single person steps up. Indoors or out, 25,000+ events since 1995.
Common Configurations
| Stage Size | Best For | Typical Add-Ons |
|---|---|---|
| 8×8 – 12×8 ft | Speakers, DJs, awards podiums, head tables | Steps, skirting, podium, lectern mic |
| 16×12 – 24×16 ft | Full bands, corporate general sessions, fashion shows | Drum riser, guardrails, backdrop truss, band power |
| Festival & custom | Outdoor concerts, festivals, multi-act shows | Roof system, wind ballast, barricade, generator power |
Every quote is itemized by deck, height, and access — and includes a stage plot so you see the layout before we build.
Truss, Rigging & the Rest of the Structure
Stages rarely stand alone. We pair decks with box truss for lighting and video, pipe & drape for backdrops and green rooms, podiums, and power distribution planned to the amp. Browse the inventory at structures & production equipment.

One Crew: Stage, Sound, Lights & Video
The stage is where everything else lands — the PA system, the lighting rig, the LED wall. When one crew owns all of it, the pieces are designed together: sight lines, cable paths, rig points, and power all planned as one show. That’s full event production, and it’s usually cheaper than hiring staging and AV separately.
Stage Rental FAQ
What size stage do I need for my event?
Rules of thumb: a solo speaker or DJ works on 8x8 to 12x8 feet; a full band needs 16x12 to 24x16 feet; award shows and fashion runways are custom layouts we design to the room. Every quote includes a stage plot so you can see the layout before we build it.
How much does stage rental cost in Nashville?
Staging is quoted by deck size, height, and access — a small indoor riser costs a fraction of a festival main stage with roof and rigging. Tell us your venue, headcount, and what's happening on stage, and we'll send an itemized quote within one business day. Unlike percentage-based venue AV, you'll see exactly what each deck, step, and skirt costs.
Do you rent outdoor stages in Nashville?
Yes — weather-rated outdoor staging with engineered wind ratings, ballast, roof systems, and generator power. We handle the site walk, ground protection, and the rain plan. Outdoor shows are where experienced staging crews earn their keep.
Is setup included with stage rental?
Always. Staging is never a drop-off item: our crew delivers, levels, builds, skirts, and safety-checks the stage, then returns to strike it after your event. Steps, guardrails, and ADA ramps are available for every configuration.
Can you combine staging with sound, lighting, and video?
That's our specialty. One crew handles the stage, the PA, the lighting rig, the LED wall, and the power — one point of contact, one invoice, zero finger-pointing between vendors. It's usually cheaper than renting staging and AV separately, too.
