What's Included in Every Wedding/Event Installation
Free Event Lighting Consultation
We visit your venue, backyard, or event space in Johnson County and design a custom lighting plan to match your vision, theme, and budget. We assess the space, identify the best anchor points for string lights, and map out the complete lighting layout before any contract is signed. Free, no obligation, no pressure.
Professional String Light Installation
We install commercial-grade Edison string lights and globe bistro lights in beautiful overhead canopy patterns the warm, romantic look you see on Pinterest, designed for your actual space. All attachment points, cable spans, and power connections are handled by our professional team. No exposed wire, no sagging strands, no amateur mistakes.
Bistro and Cafe Lighting
Classic bistro string lights strung in elegant patterns across your venue, patio, garden, or backyard create an unmistakably romantic and festive atmosphere. We use commercial-grade bulbs significantly brighter and more durable than anything available at a home improvement store. Perfect for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and intimate gatherings.
Custom Event Displays and Uplighting
Beyond string lights, we design and install custom event lighting displays including tree uplighting, pathway lighting, accent lighting, and color-coordinated LED effects. Every display is custom-designed for your specific event space, theme, and color palette.
Patio and Backyard Event Lighting
Transform your backyard, garden, or patio into a professional event venue with expert outdoor lighting installation. We design ambient lighting layouts that make your outdoor space feel magical after dark ideal for private parties, birthday celebrations, and informal weddings.
Professional Removal After Your Event
When your event is over, our team returns to professionally remove every light, cable, and fixture from your venue or property. Everything is taken down cleanly, anchor points are restored, and your space is left exactly as we found it. No cleanup for you. No lights to store. Just great memories.
