Frequently Asked Questions

How much does event lighting rental cost in Chicago?

Event lighting costs depend on your venue size, fixture count, and design complexity. Basic uplighting for a small venue starts around $300-$600. A full concert or festival lighting rig with intelligent fixtures, trussing, and an operator can range from $2,000-$10,000+. We provide quotes for every event.

Do you provide a lighting operator?

Yes. We provide experienced lighting designers and operators who program and run your lighting throughout the event. For weddings and galas, we can set static looks. For concerts and live performances, our operators run dynamic, music-synchronized light shows.

Can you do uplighting for my wedding or gala?

Absolutely. Wedding and gala uplighting is one of our most popular services. We offer wireless LED uplights in any color to match your event theme. Uplighting transforms ballrooms, tents, and reception venues with dramatic, elegant ambiance.

Yes, and we recommend it. As a full-service AV company, bundling audio, video, lighting, and staging together ensures seamless coordination and typically saves you money compared to hiring multiple vendors.
