Our event lighting rental turns a plain ballroom or office floor into a room in your brand colors, and it keeps your speakers' faces bright in every photo.
Uplighting is the fastest way to change how a room feels without building anything.
An uplight is a small fixture that sits on the floor against a wall, a column or a drape and throws color upward. A row of them turns bare walls into a colored backdrop. Behind a stage, they lift the speaker off a dark background so people see where to look.
Spacing decides the look. One uplight every 5 ft gives a full, even wall of color; one every 10 ft gives soft pools with shadow between. For a room of up to 200 guests, that often means 12 to 24 fixtures, plus pin spots on the tables.
You choose between battery and wired fixtures. Battery uplights need no cables across the floor, so they work in open areas and in venues with few outlets. Wired uplights suit long walls near power.
You get one lighting plan for the whole room, from the walls to the stage, built around your program.
We plan the light, the stage and the screen on one drawing, so the light doesn't wash out the slides and the speaker stays bright. Our stage rental page covers the stage side.
One booking covers the fixtures, the people who place them and the cleanup.
Need sound and screens as well? Our AV rental page lists the gear we pair with lighting.
You'll know the cost of your exact plan before you commit, and you'll have it within minutes. We don't publish a price list. Each event gets its own quote.
These events ran into the evening. They show how early our crew arrives and what we check on site before guests come out.
An outdoor luau on a campus lawn from 7:30 to 9:30 PM, booked two days ahead. We arrived at 5 PM and checked outdoor light, a level surface, power and space for the line before students came out. Read about the surf simulator for EF Academy's luau party.
Pasadena, CA
A client evening at an aviation hangar venue, 6 to 10 PM, built around a flight theme. We arrived at 1:30 PM and had the station ready by 4:30 PM. After the event, the agency TBX wrote that its team and the client were pleased with the product and the professionalism. See the flight simulator for Sysmex at Hangar 21.

A look at how light shapes a room once the sun goes down.
Your venue sees the power and rigging details early, so the build isn't held up at load-in.
Lights have to stand on the floor, sit on stands or hang from truss or the venue's rigging points. Many venues set rules on who may rig, so we agree that with them first. A large rig draws more than a household circuit, and open-air sites often need power distribution or a generator. We send the venue a fixture list and power needs before the event.
We also send insurance documents to venues and organizers on request.
Bad light shows up in every photo from your event, and here's how it usually happens.
Color but no front light.
The room glows, but the speakers' faces are dark in photos. We light the stage from the front first.
Too few uplights.
Walls look spotty, with dark gaps between pools of color. We space fixtures for the look you picked.
Cables across walkways.
Guests trip, and the venue asks you to tape everything down. We use battery fixtures where people walk.
Light that flickers on camera.
It looks fine in the room but strobes in your video. Tell us if you'll film or stream, and we'll set fixtures for camera.
You'll know what happens at each step, from your first message to the last cable packed.
You don't need a lighting person on your team. We bring the people who place the light and run it.
Wherever your event is, the light comes to it.
