On April 26, 2025, the East Grand Rapids community gathered under an elegant canopy at Wege Plaza to celebrate HURRAH!—the annual fundraiser supporting the East Grand Rapids High School Theatre program. Alpine Events was proud to be the trusted rental partner for this dynamic event, helping transform the venue into a vibrant and welcoming space for an evening of celebration and support for student arts.
A Stunning Setup at Wege Plaza
For the 2024 HURRAH! event, Alpine Events provided a full-scale outdoor installation that balanced form and function to accommodate hundreds of guests. Our team installed a massive 40′ x 140′ white frame tent, complete with custom white draping, elegant market lighting, and structured sidewalls—offering both protection from the elements and a polished, festive ambiance. Guests were greeted through a 40′ x 40′ Hip-End Navi-Trac tent, linked by a 10′ x 30′ marquee tent, all anchored securely with Block and Roll ballast systems and covered with sleek white vinyl wraps for a cohesive look.
Details That Elevated the Experience
Inside the tent, Alpine Events provided:
- Full bar setups, including a standout Race Track Bar and Provincial White Bar, creating functional and stylish beverage stations for the evening.
- Wenger staging for presentations and performances, complete with skirting and steps to enhance stage presence.
- A fleet of cocktail table rentals and banquet table rentals, each covered in clean white linens, allowing ample space for mingling, bidding, and displaying auction items.
- Perimeter and peak lighting using hundreds of feet of warm market lights, adding to the inviting glow beneath the tent top.
Safety and logistics were also key priorities. Alpine Events supplied a fire safety kit, exit signage, and generator power to ensure the event operated smoothly from start to finish.
