Production managers, venue directors and marketing teams on what it is like to put an Upstage call on the schedule.

Jerry SloanProduction Manager, Luke Combs

In 2024, Luke Combs performed in Salt Lake City at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Our entire team had a fantastic multi-day experience with Upstage Companies. They provided top-notch production support for the show. The crew were very knowledgeable and had a great eagerness to work and follow instructions. Our labor calls were met as we ordered, and the invoicing was clear and concise.

I have had the pleasure of working with Upstage for several years, primarily for Cougar Canyon, our pregame party on football gamedays. Everything is always set up on time, correctly, and with attention to detail. The know-how the Upstage team has as far as event production is next level and helps me have the confidence that they are committed to the success of my events.

On a recent event at the Salt Palace with approximately 7,000 attendees, the Upstage team provided an excellent crew ranging from 50 to 100 people daily.

Julie RhoadsVice President of Services and Events, Visit Salt Lake

Visit Salt Lake is a new client of Upstage, but we have been working with them for many years with other partners. When we started planning our largest ever event, Winter Roundup 2024, we knew we needed them on our team. Their expertise, flexibility and professional staff along with the ability to work side by side with other suppliers was invaluable.

Tim SmithDirector of Sales and Marketing, Ogden Mustangs NCDC

Upstage Rentals performed a light show for the Ogden Mustangs NCDC playoff series. With this being the first NCDC playoff series ever played in Utah, we wanted to make a spectacle of it so of course we called Upstage. Burke and his entire crew were so amazing. They did a phenomenal job with lighting and effects.

Nat GustafsonOperations Manager, Alliance Exposition
