Event & Stage Lighting Rental in Nashville

From our published cost guide: a basic uplighting package runs about $500–$1,500 for 10 to 20 fixtures, which covers most ballrooms and reception rooms. Full stage lighting with DMX programming and moving heads for concerts and large corporate events ranges from $2,000–$10,000+. String lights, chandeliers, and gobo projection are quoted from the room, because the hang — how high, how far, and what it attaches to — drives the labor more than the fixture count does.

Yes. Stage lighting packages run $2,000–$10,000+ and are delivered, hung, programmed and operated by our crew. For a presentation stage that usually means front light from ETC Source Four lekos plus LED wash; for a band or a concert, add moving heads, haze and truss, with an operator on an HOG 4 console. Stage lights are never will-call: anything that hangs over a stage goes up with our crew.

Yes, on one quote with one crew. Most stage jobs pair lighting with a PA and a stage deck, so we build and run all three. See our stage and sound packages and stage rental.

Uplighting is a fixture on the floor aimed up a wall or a column, washing the room in a color you choose. As a rule of thumb, one fixture every 8 to 10 feet of wall you actually want lit — a typical hotel ballroom is 12 to 20, a restaurant buyout or private room is 8 to 12. Ours are battery-powered and wireless, so they work in rooms with no convenient power and leave no cable for a guest to catch a heel on.

Usually, and that is most of what we do. String lights can be run off existing beams, truss, or our own uprights; chandeliers hang from rated rigging points we survey before the event. What decides it is the venue's rules and structure, not the fixture — so we advance the room first: attachment points, weight limits, power, and what has to be gone by the next morning.

A gobo is a cut pattern or custom image projected by a light — a company logo on a wall, a monogram on a dance floor, a texture across a ceiling. Custom gobos are made to order from your artwork, so give us a week where possible. Glass gobos hold full color and fine detail; steel is faster and cheaper for a single-color logo.

For anything with cues — a general session, an award show, a concert — yes. A designer plots where light goes and why; an operator runs it live from the console so the room changes on the program, not on a guess. For a straightforward uplighting or string-light setup, we set it, focus it, and leave it, and there is nothing to run.

Uplights, small fixtures, and string lights are available for will-call pickup at our Nashville warehouse, often same day — we set the colors and show you the wireless remote before you leave. Chandeliers, moving heads, truss, and anything that hangs are delivered and hung by our crew, because rigging is not a pick-up-and-figure-it-out item.

Book at least six months ahead for events in April, May, September and October — Nashville's peak months — and at least three months ahead the rest of the year. That gives us time to walk the venue and order a custom gobo if you want one.

Yes. We deliver across Middle Tennessee — Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Murfreesboro — and travel for larger productions to Huntsville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, Birmingham, and Bowling Green. Travel is a line item on the same quote as the gear, never a surprise.
