In the dynamic world of Austin events—where creativity, tech, art, and brand storytelling collide—pedestal rentals are an essential, yet often overlooked design element. Whether you’re showcasing a product at SXSW, presenting awards at a corporate gala, or building a branded activation on South Congress, a well-placed pedestal adds height, clarity, and purpose to your presentation.
At Modern Event Rental, we offer an extensive selection of short and tall pedestal rentals in black and white, all fabricated in-house and ready to ship across Austin and surrounding cities. And if we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for? We can custom-build one just for your event.
Let’s break down why pedestal rentals in Austin are worth the investment—and how our team makes it easy for you to create a polished, impactful event setup.
Why Use Pedestals at Events in Austin?
Pedestals bring structure and intentionality to event design. They:
- Elevate your key elements—literally and visually
- Create focal points without clutter
- Work in any venue style, from rustic to modern
- Are lightweight, clean-lined, and easy to move

- Tech showcases
- Brand activations
- Gallery-style product launches
- Red carpet entry displays
- Museum exhibits
- Weddings and social events
In a city like Austin, where events are often fast-paced, mobile, and creatively demanding, pedestals offer the perfect solution for elegant, flexible display options.
