Where String Lighting Works Best
Our string lighting solutions are versatile and create atmosphere in many settings. Here’s how we tailor them:
Backyard & Patio String Lighting
Transform everyday outdoor spaces into cozy retreats. String lights outline pergolas, decks, and fences, creating a warm glow for evening gatherings, cookouts, or quiet nights outside. Options include dimmable strands for dinner parties or permanent installs for year-round enjoyment.
Restaurants & Breweries String Lighting
Bistro lights elevate patios, courtyards, and rooftops with an inviting ambiance that keeps customers comfortable and encourages longer stays. Lighting can be designed to highlight seating areas, pathways, or signage, and we offer programmable timers to align with your business hours.
Weddings & Events String Lighting
Market-style string lights are a classic backdrop for weddings and private parties. We can create overhead canopies, tent ceilings, or garden pathways that photograph beautifully and set the mood for receptions. Full-service includes installation, takedown, and optional décor add-ons.
Venues & Hospitality String Lighting
Hotels, resorts, and event centers use string lighting to enhance courtyards, pool areas, and entryways. Large-scale spans can be cable-supported across wide open spaces, creating dramatic, memorable settings for guests.

Our Process
We keep your season smooth with proactive communication and predictable timelines.
Each project comes with a dedicated account manager—your single point of contact from consultation to takedown, ensuring every detail aligns with your goals.
We use professional-grade, energy-efficient LED lights that offer rich color, long life, and low energy costs—better for your home and the planet.
While holiday lighting doesn’t require a contractor’s license, we’re fully insured for your peace of mind, including general liability and worker protection coverage.
Broken bulb? Weather damage? Change of heart on your layout? No problem. We offer fast, no-hassle service calls and revisions throughout the season. Once the season wraps, we’ll return to safely remove, label, and store your lights offsite—so you can relax until next year.
