Toronto wedding venues like everywhere need lights, and most come with standard room lighting; it might not be ideal lighting for your wedding photos. Or maybe you are having an outdoor wedding and need lighting. How do you know what lights will give the vibe you are looking for? String lights are pretty but are they enough to light the whole area? Toronto Marquee letter lights for rent not only let your guests know they are in the right place they add glamour to the event.

So what should you consider for lighting?

  • How long does it take to set up the lights?
  • How long does it take to take down the lights?
  • If you are renting them from the venue, are they included in the cost?
  • Will the operator be onsite in case there’s an operation issue?

These are all considerations you will want to think of when planning to rent lights. The time to set up and take downlights is essential because if your venue rental is only for so many hours, it could be an issue that they won’t have enough time to set up and tear down. If you go over the time allotted, there might be an extra charge. Check with your venue about set up times and take-down.

This will all vary and impact what you can and cannot do in terms of lighting your venue.
