Lighting & Staging Rental Services in San Jose and Bay Area

Our lighting and staging rentals come in three parts, and most events use two or all three. Start with a dance floor if your guests will dance, add lighting to set the mood and shape the room, and use pipe and drape systems to frame a stage, divide a space, or hide what you would rather not show. Hosting under a tent or canopy? String lights and uplighting fit inside it easily.

Stages, Dance Floors & Pipe and Drape in San Jose and Bay Area

Each service has its own page with full details. Here is what each one covers and how to size it.

  • Dance Floor Rentals – White, black, and wood-style dance floors in custom sizes, with indoor and outdoor options and professional installation. Plan on about 4.5 square feet per dancer with 30–50% of guests on the floor at once, which is 135–225 square feet for 100 guests. Portable stages (modular stage platforms) come in 8″, 16″, and 24″ heights for bands, DJs, speakers, and award presentations, and stage steps and ramps come with handrails available for ADA compliance.
  • Lighting Rentals – LED uplighting, string lights, café and bistro lights, chandeliers, wash lighting, pin spot lighting, moving head lighting, dance floor lighting, and gobo projections for monograms and patterns. Our LED uplights are color-changing with dimming and remote control, so one set can move from a warm wedding glow to a bright party wash. For wall washing, space uplights about one every 6–10 feet.
  • Pipe & Drape Rentals – Adjustable fabric panels for backdrops, room dividers, photo areas, trade show booths, and stage backgrounds, or to conceal unsightly areas. Flexible sizing lets the panels fit a corner, a stage, or a full wall. Planning one? See the pipe and drape rental mistakes that add cost.

A quick way to choose: if guests will dance, start with the floor; if the room feels plain or dark, add lighting; if you need a backdrop or a divider, add drape.

What to Book for Your Event Type

Most hosts combine two or three services. These pairings work well:

  • Wedding reception: a dance floor, uplights along the walls, and string lights over the seating, with a drape backdrop for the sweetheart table or photo area. Our wedding collection covers the rest of the setup.
  • Corporate event or gala: a portable stage with steps, pipe and drape behind the speakers, and uplighting in your brand colors.
  • Quinceanera or Sweet 16: a dance floor, color-changing uplights, and a drape backdrop for photos.
  • Concert or DJ night: a stage sized to your band or DJ, dance floor lighting, and a floor big enough for the crowd.
  • Trade show or expo: pipe and drape booth walls and dividers, plus accent lighting on your display.

Why Choose Our Lighting & Staging Rentals

Premium Lighting & Professional Staging in San Jose and Bay Area, Tested and Set Up for You

At Event Rental Solution, our technicians handle setup, wiring, programming, and safety checks, and all lighting equipment is tested and maintained for reliable performance. Stages are built with safety in mind, and steps and ramps come with handrails available for ADA compliance. Before you book, check your venue’s rules on power access, load-in times, and amplified sound or temporary structures, since some venues and parks set their own requirements. Share those details with us and we will plan around them.

Great lighting works best as part of a complete setup. For a birthday party, string lights and a dance floor turn a backyard into the main event, and a bounce house rental or other inflatable rentals keep the younger guests busy. Hosting a graduation? Pair our lighting with graduation tent rentals so the celebration can carry on well after sunset. For corporate event rentals, stages, pipe and drape, and uplighting give the venue a polished look, and our party equipment rentals cover everything else you might need in one place.
