Delivery in New Orleans
Navigating New Orleans means tight streets and sometimes even tighter courtyards. We’re experts at delivering to historic homes with challenging access points, including multiple flights of stairs or narrow gates. Just give us a heads up on any unique delivery challenges, and we’ll plan accordingly for a smooth setup.
New Orleans event seasons
Our busiest season kicks off with Mardi Gras in late winter and runs all the way through festival season in the spring. Summer brings the heat, so plan for earlier setups and consider shaded areas. Hurricane season from June to November means flexible booking and a watchful eye on the forecast, but we’re always ready to make your event a success, rain or shine (or even a little drizzle!).
Why book locally
Booking with a New Orleans-based operator means you’re working with folks who truly understand the local landscape. We know the ins and outs of every venue, the quirks of our unique architecture, and how to navigate our sometimes-unpredictable traffic. This local expertise translates to quicker response times, practical day-of support, and a seamless event experience that a generic out-of-town company just can’t provide.

Yes, for larger setups or generator use in public parks like City Park or Audubon Park, you will likely need a special permit from the New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways.
Can your lighting handle the unpredictable New Orleans weather?
Absolutely. Our equipment is designed to withstand our humid climate and occasional pop-up showers, but for outdoor events, we always recommend having a contingency plan for severe weather.
