Lighting & Uplighting Rentals in Charlotte — FAQ
Do I need a permit for uplighting in Charlotte city parks?
For most basic uplighting setups in city parks, a general event permit is often sufficient. However, larger or more complex lighting installations might require additional electrical or special event permits from the City of Charlotte Parks and Recreation Department. We recommend checking with the specific park office well in advance.
Can you provide generators for power at venues without outlets?
Yes, we offer generator rentals for situations where external power sources are unavailable, common in many open-field or remote outdoor venues around Charlotte. Please specify your power needs during booking so we can recommend the appropriate generator size.
What happens if there's inclement weather on my event day?
Charlotte weather can be unpredictable. We offer flexible rescheduling options for weather-related cancellations, provided sufficient notice. For unexpected rain, our lighting equipment is weather-resistant, but we recommend covered areas for maximum safety and comfort.
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.
