There are many options for lighting a tent and choosing the perfect light design is essential to your event success. Here are a few guidlines to help make sure you create the right mood.
Perimeter Lighting Packages
Perimeter lighting goes around the outside edge of the tent frame and can be used alone in small tents (no bigger than 30 wide) to create general lighting or added to larger tents in addition to overhead lighting if an abundance of light is needed. We use cafe lights exclusively for the perimeter lighting.
Overhead Lighting Packages
All overhead lighting packages are hung in a diamond swag (4 per pole/crown in rectangular tents) or starburst design (8 to center in square tents).
- Twinkle Lights are a warm white fairy-style light that cast a subtle glow. Look great inside sheer ceiling drapes, used in mass on ceilings, or mixed with chandeliers. Perfect for creating a medium to low-light ambiant mood.
- Cafe Lights are larger and brighter than twinkle lights and lend themselves to a more casual modern vibe. Use white cafe stands to blend into the tent, or black cafe stands for a bold touch. We recommended using Cafe lights if you want a bright well-lit event.
Other Lighting Options
- Chandeliers allow you to showcase your personal style and create a statement. Use them as an accent in the middle of the tent, highlight a special area, or for an upscale lighting design. If looking to light the full tent with chandeliers, you will want to use one per 400sq ft (every 20ft in the tent) at minimum to provide general overhead lighting. Choose your Chandeliers here
- Special Effect Lighting is perfect for creating a specific mood. You can choose from any of our gobo lighting or uplight & spot lights to be used in your tent.
- Custom lighting is anything you dream up. Light ceilings, light walls, pole wrapping, and more! Have a unique vision? Contact our Event Design Team to get a quote.
