Stage Supper

Four programmes for evenings built around a table, a floor and a running order: a gala service, a dance floor, an outdoor daytime table and a lantern supper. We bring light, sound, staging and the timeline; catering stays with your supplier or ours by separate quote.

from $4,900 CAD · per event, tax included

Long supper table under warm hanging lights with set places and low floral runners.

Dance Hall

A dance floor with a hall band set-up, a half-hour lesson at the start and a running order that keeps the floor busy without a host talking over it. The first thirty minutes teach two step patterns so that the floor fills by itself afterwards. Volume is held at a level where people at the side tables can still talk.

  • Guests: up to 160
  • Programme hours: 5 h
  • Setup: 4 h

Plein Air Table

A daytime table outdoors: long boards under canopies, a shaded bar point and a six-hour running order that works with the light rather than against it. The layout is built for wind off the water, with weighted canopy bases and a written rain plan agreed two weeks ahead. Everything packs down to the same trailer it arrived in.

Lantern Supper

A seated supper for one hundred under two hundred hanging lanterns, with a four-course running order and two short speaking slots written into it.

Gala Service

A full gala evening for two hundred: stage, lectern, award handovers, screen and a minute-by-minute running order held by one stage manager.

How a supper or stage evening runs

01

The running order is written two weeks ahead against your menu timings and your speakers, minute by minute.

02

One stage manager holds that order on the night and is the only person your team needs to find.

03

Light levels are set and metered table by table before doors, so no table eats in the dark.

04

Speeches, awards and courses are interleaved on paper first, which is what stops them colliding on the night.

What the venue needs

  • Floor area for the table plan plus 1.2 m of service circulation around every table.
  • Three 16 A circuits for a gala rig, two for a dance or supper rig.
  • For outdoor layouts: a ground surface that takes weighted canopy bases, and a named indoor fallback room.
  • Access to the room at least five hours before doors for a gala set.

Questions

Do you provide the food and drink?

Not inside these prices. We hold the running order, the service timings and the room, and we work with your caterer or introduce ours on a separate quote. Telling us the menu timings two weeks ahead is what keeps the courses and the speeches from colliding.

Can an outdoor table really work here?

Plein Air Table is built for it: weighted canopy bases rated for steady wind, battery sound that needs no mains run, and a written rain plan with a named indoor fallback agreed 14 days ahead. We will tell you plainly if your date and site are a bad combination.

Who looks after the speakers on the night?

One stage manager, from rehearsal to the last handover. Speaker rehearsal in the two hours before doors is included in Gala Service, and the lectern mic and cue sheet come with Lantern Supper as well.
