Our team navigates Alexandria's unique streetscapes with ease, from the cobblestone alleys of Old Town to the bustling thoroughfares of Kingstowne.

Lighting & Uplighting Rentals in Alexandria — FAQ
Do I need a permit for outdoor lighting in Alexandria parks?
For most temporary lighting setups in city parks like Waterfront Park, a special event permit from the Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities is required. We can help guide you through the process, but securing the permit is ultimately your responsibility.
What kind of power sources do your uplights require?
Our standard uplighting units use conventional 120V outlets. For larger setups or venues with limited power, we offer battery-powered options and can also recommend generator rentals that comply with local noise ordinances, especially in residential areas.
Can you deliver to sites with limited vehicle access, like those near the Mount Vernon Trail?
Yes, we are accustomed to delivering to various locations, including those near pedestrian paths. Please inform us in advance so we can plan for appropriate load-in/out procedures, potentially utilizing dollies or specialized carts, and respecting local access restrictions.
How much does event lighting cost?
Uplights run $20–$45 each (typical event uses 12–24). Bistro lights price by the foot. Full lighting packages range $500–$3,000.
Is uplighting wireless?
Most modern uplights are battery-powered and color-changing via app — no cords on the floor.
Can I get a custom monogram?
Yes — most operators include a custom monogram gobo when booking dance-floor lighting.
