Yes. Tents and outdoor venues are some of the most magical spaces to light. Inside a tent, we can suspend a canopy of mini lights overhead so the ceiling appears to float and twinkle. Outdoors, we can hang string lights from trees or our portable poles, uplight trees, and line walkways with pathway lights so guests can find their way after dark.

Tell us about your venue in your quote request and we’ll recommend what works best for the space.

Ceremony lighting sets the scene and guides your guests; reception lighting creates the atmosphere for dinner and dancing. For ceremonies, we often use curtain lights as a backdrop behind the altar, pathway lights to lead guests to their seats, and uplighting on nearby trees or walls.

For receptions, popular choices include overhead string lights, a light canopy inside a tent, wall washing, and marquee letters. Many couples light both spaces so the evening feels connected from the first walk down the aisle to the last dance.

Yes. We can uplight trees and wash walls in a variety of colors to match your theme, and string lights come in several bulb styles to fit your vibe.

We manage every aspect of your holiday lighting program, from initial concept and custom design to professional installation, proactive maintenance, removal, and secure off-season storage.

Our team works closely with boroughs, townships, cities, and counties, so you have one partner from planning through takedown. Start a conversation about your community.

It begins with a design consultation where we learn about your community’s vision, goals, and budget. From there, we create a custom lighting plan that enhances your streetscapes, public spaces, and holiday traditions, while prioritizing safety.

We design displays that complement downtown streetscapes, parks, gateways, municipal buildings, and public gathering spaces. Tell us where you’d like to create a festive welcome and we’ll help shape a plan that fits.

Our proactive maintenance program includes routine inspections and prompt service, so your municipality’s holiday lighting keeps looking its best throughout the season with minimal downtime.

At the end of the season, our team carefully removes every display with the same attention to detail we used to install it, protecting your municipal assets. The decorations are then kept in secure off-season storage, ready for years of continued use.

We light cities, townships, boroughs, and counties in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and New York. Not sure if we cover your community? Get in touch and we’ll let you know.
