Stage Backdrop Rental NYC

A Finished Wall Behind Every Speaker

New York rooms come with mirrors, glass, wood paneling and kitchen doors right where your speaker stands. Put a lectern in front of that and the photos look like any Tuesday lunch.

Our backdrop rental in NYC fixes that, from plain fabric behind a podium to a branded wall built by our scenic team. At Manhatta, 60 floors up, we brought a branded wall in through a working restaurant and fitted it panel by panel behind the stage.

Not in the city? Our backdrop rental also covers New Jersey, Long Island and Florida.

• Fabric, branded walls or press walls
• Sized to the freight elevator
• Lit for photos and video

What to Know Before You Rent a Backdrop in NYC

• Elevator Size Freight elevators set the size of every panel. We build big walls in pieces that fit and join them in the room.
• Fire Paperwork Many New York venues ask for proof that fabric and scenic are flame-retardant. Ask us for the papers your venue wants.
• Glass and Daylight Skyline rooms put bright windows behind your speaker. A backdrop blocks the glare so faces don’t turn into silhouettes.
• Gala Season Spring galas and December parties book up docks and crews early. Lock in your backdrop as soon as you have a date.

Backdrop Rental in NYC FAQs

Where can I rent an event backdrop in NYC?

ProSho rents stage backdrops, branded walls and step and repeat walls across all five boroughs. Our crew delivers them, sets them up and takes them down.

How much does step and repeat rental cost in NYC?

It depends on the size, whether you want a runner and lighting, and your venue’s load-in rules. Send the date, the venue and your logos and we’ll quote it.

Can you build a backdrop with our logo in New York?

Yes. Our scenic team draws the wall first so you can approve it, then builds and installs it.

Will a big backdrop fit in my building’s freight elevator?

We build it in pieces sized to the elevator and the doorways, then put it together in the room.

Can you set up a step and repeat at a rooftop or skyline venue?

Yes. We’ve built a step and repeat press wall at Edge in Hudson Yards. We check the access and the load-in time with the venue first.

Do you light the backdrop?

Yes. We light the wall and the people in front of it, so it looks right in person and on camera.

Can you bring the backdrop and the stage together?

Yes. The stage, drape, backdrop and lighting can come in on one load-in with one crew.
