ST. LOUIS EVENT RENTALS
Stage, Bar & Dance Floor Rentals That Set the Scene for Every Event
Some details quietly support an event. A stage, a bar, and a dance floor actively shape it. They determine where guests look, where they gather, and how the night unfolds. The Aries Co. has been providing stage rentals, bar rentals, dance floor rentals, and specialty event furniture to St. Louis events since 1974 — for weddings, corporate events, galas, outdoor celebrations, and everything in between. These are the pieces that define a room’s energy, and we’ve been getting them right for over 50 years.
STAGE, BAR & DANCEFLOOR INVENTORY
The Centerpieces of Any Great Event
Stage Rentals: Stages anchor the room. They tell guests where to look, give presenters and performers a platform that commands attention, and create a visual focal point that elevates the entire event. If your event has a moment that needs to land, such as a keynote, an award, a first dance announcement, or a live performance, it lands better from a stage.
Bar Rentals: Our bar rentals are among our most frequently requested items for weddings and corporate events across St. Louis. Whether you’re running a full open bar for 400 guests or a champagne station for a cocktail hour, we’ll help you figure out the right bar setup for your space and your service plan.
Dance Floor Rentals: Whether you need a classic hardwood-finish dance floor for a wedding reception, a sleek dark surface for a corporate gala, or a custom-sized floor for a non-standard venue space, we can accommodate it. We install and strike the floor as part of our delivery service, so your venue is never left to manage it.
Our stage, dance floor and bar inventory includes:
Portable Stage Rentals: Our modular portable staging systems are available in multiple heights, sizes, and configurations — scalable from a small riser for a single speaker to a full-width stage for a live band, awards ceremony, or keynote presentation. Every stage system includes skirting and stairs, and can be configured to fit the dimensions and sight lines of your specific venue. We’ve built stages at corporate events, nonprofit galas, award ceremonies, outdoor festivals, product launches, and wedding receptions throughout St. Louis, including at Grant’s Farm and venues across the metro area.
Risers & Platforms Smaller than a full stage but more intentional than the floor, riser and platform rentals are used for head tables, sweetheart tables, choir setups, band platforms, and display installations. Elevating a key element of your event, even by a few inches, draws the eye and creates visual hierarchy in a room.
Podiums & Lecterns Professional podium and lectern rentals for speaking engagements, award presentations, conference programs, and ceremonial events. A podium grounds a speaker and signals formality, and it’s a small detail that makes a big difference in how a program feels to an audience.
Red Carpet & Stanchions First impressions matter. A red carpet and stanchion setup at your event entrance immediately signals to guests that what’s inside is worth the arrival. It creates a photo moment that almost everyone will take. We provide red carpet rentals and stanchion systems for galas, award ceremonies, VIP receptions, corporate events, and milestone celebrations throughout St. Louis.
Portable Bar Rentals: A well-placed bar doesn’t just serve drinks, it shapes how guests move through your event, where they gather, and how the energy builds over the course of the night. We carry a range of portable bar options for events of every style:
- 4′, 6′, and 8′ tabletop bars with risers and linens — clean, professional, and adaptable to almost any event footprint
- White wooden bars — a statement piece for wedding receptions, upscale galas, and events where the bar is meant to be seen as much as used
- Custom bar configurations — for events that need multiple bar stations, back bar setups, or specialty configurations based on your venue layout
Dance Floor Rentals: The dance floor is where the night happens. We provide portable dance floor rentals in a range of sizes and finishes for weddings, corporate parties, galas, and private events. Our dance floor systems are modular, professionally installed, and built to handle a full night of use. No warping, no gaps, no surprises mid-event.
Glow Lounge Furniture One of our most distinctive specialty offerings, glow lounge furniture creates an immersive, ambient atmosphere that works beautifully for cocktail hours, VIP areas, after-parties, and events with a modern or nightlife-inspired aesthetic. LED-lit seating, tables, and lounge pieces that shift color and set a mood unlike anything traditional furniture can achieve. If you’ve seen a glow lounge setup at an event and wondered how it was done, this is it.
WHO WE SERVE
For Planners, Couples, Corporate Teams & Everyone Putting On a Show
For Wedding Planners & Couples: The stage, the bar, and the dancefloor are three of the most talked-about elements of any wedding reception. We work with couples and wedding planners across St. Louis and St. Charles to configure bar setups that fit the reception flow, dancefloors that fit the room, and stage or riser setups that give the DJ, band, or emcee the presence they need. These aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the architecture of the reception experience.
For Corporate Event Planners & In-House Teams: Corporate events need stages that work — that hold a speaker or a panel, that position your brand correctly in the room, that look polished on camera and in photos. We’ve built stages for keynote presentations, award ceremonies, product launches, and corporate galas at venues across the St. Louis metro, including healthcare organizations, major corporations, and nonprofit institutions. We know what a professional stage setup looks like — and we deliver it every time.
For Nonprofit & Gala Producers: A gala needs a stage. An auction needs a podium. A VIP cocktail hour needs a bar that reads as upscale. We’ve supplied stage, bar, and specialty furniture rentals for fundraiser galas and nonprofit events throughout St. Louis, and we understand the unique pressures of producing a high-quality event on a conscientious budget.
For Private Hosts & Party Planners: Planning a milestone birthday, a backyard graduation party, or a private celebration that calls for a real dancefloor and a proper bar? You don’t need to be an event professional to work with us. We’ll help you figure out what you need, how to configure it in your space, and how to make an event feel bigger and more intentional than a standard party setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clients ask us most:
What size stages do you carry for events?
Our modular staging systems are configurable in multiple sizes and heights, from small single-riser platforms to full-width stages for bands, large speaker panels, and award ceremonies. We’ll help you determine the right dimensions based on your venue, your headcount, and what’s happening on stage. Every stage system includes skirting and stairs as standard.
Do you rent bars for wedding receptions?
Yes, bar rentals are one of our most requested items for weddings throughout St. Louis. We carry 4′, 6′, and 8′ tabletop bars with risers and linens, as well as beautiful white wooden bars that make a real visual statement at receptions. The right bar setup shapes your guests’ experience of the entire event: where they gather, how the room flows, and how the night builds. It’s worth doing well.
What dance floor sizes do you offer?
Our portable dance floor systems are modular and can be configured in a range of sizes to fit your venue and your guest count. We’ll help you determine the right square footage based on how many guests you expect to be on the floor at peak times. We handle full installation and removal as part of the delivery so your venue team doesn’t need to manage it.
What is glow lounge furniture and is it right for my event?
Glow lounge furniture is LED-lit seating, tables, and lounge pieces that create an ambient, color-shifting atmosphere. It’s particularly well-suited for cocktail hours, VIP lounge areas, after-parties, nightlife-inspired events, and any gathering where you want a distinctive modern aesthetic. If your event has a sleek or elevated vibe and you want something that makes guests stop and take notice, glow lounge is worth considering.
Can I rent a stage and have Aries Co. also handle the sound and lighting?
Yes, and this is one of the biggest advantages of working with us. Our in-house AV and lighting team can design and install the full production package around your stage: sound systems, microphones, stage lighting, uplighting, and projection. Booking it all through Aries means one team handles the entire technical setup, fully coordinated, with one point of accountability.
Do you provide red carpet and stanchion rentals?
Yes. Red carpet and stanchion sets are available for galas, award ceremonies, VIP receptions, corporate events, and milestone parties. It’s one of those details that photographs well, signals to guests that the event is a real occasion, and takes almost no additional planning effort to add to your order.
How far in advance should I book stage, bar, and dance floor rentals?
For most events, 4–6 weeks in advance is a reliable target. For large-scale productions, peak-season weddings, or events requiring custom stage configurations, reaching out 2–3 months ahead is ideal to ensure availability and allow time for proper planning. We accommodate last-minute requests when inventory allows, so don’t hesitate to call even if your event is coming up soon.
Do you deliver and install, or is this pick-up only?
We deliver, install, and strike all stage, bar, and dance floor rentals. These aren’t items that get dropped at a loading dock. Our team assembles and configures everything properly on-site, and returns after the event to break it all down. Delivery fees and minimums vary by location and order size; reach out and we’ll walk you through the specifics for your event.
Can I rent a stage, dance floor, and bar all from Aries Co.?
 Yes, and most of our clients do exactly that, often alongside furniture, linens, lighting, AV, and catering equipment. Consolidating your rental needs with one vendor simplifies logistics, reduces coordination overhead, and gives you a single point of contact for delivery, setup, and removal. It’s one of the main reasons clients keep coming back.
How much does it cost to rent a stage, bar, or dance floor in St. Louis?
Pricing depends on the size, configuration, and your event specifics. Stage systems, dancefloors, and bar setups are all custom-quoted based on your venue and needs. The best way to get accurate pricing is to reach out with your event details and we’ll build a quote specific to your event, no generic packages.
