How Our Event Lighting Rentals Can Change Your Venue
Our experts are committed to mastering the skills needed to make your wedding or event truly exceptional. Here are just a few of the specialized techniques we use to create unforgettable experiences:
Uplighting
We use floor-mounted uplighting to create an atmospheric and ambient effect. These lights cast captivating shapes and colors on walls and can be strategically placed to add a dramatic touch to key areas. It's a simple yet impactful way to enhance the visual appeal of any event space.
String Lights
We can install overhead string lights to create a rustic, romantic, or magical atmosphere for your wedding or event. Available in various styles, these lights are often referred to as โcafรฉ lights,โ โfairy lights,โ or โmarket lighting,โ depending on their design and ambiance.
Gobo / Texture Light
These are stencils placed over lighting fixtures to create unique textures that transform plain surfaces into visually striking elements. They can also be used to project monograms or simple silhouettes onto walls or other surfaces, adding a personalized touch to your event dรฉcor.
Color Wash
Rather than focusing on a specific area or feature, we can use lighting to uniformly transform the color of an entire room. This allows us to match any color scheme or event theme, whether itโs an underwater ambiance or classic romantic elegance, bringing your vision to life seamlessly.
Pendant Lighting
We can install overhead string lights to create a rustic, romantic, or magical atmosphere for your wedding or event. Available in various styles, these lights are often referred to as โcafรฉ lights,โ โfairy lights,โ or โmarket lighting,โ depending on their design and ambiance.

What Your Neighbours Have Been Saying About Us
Lighting Display that will WOW In Long Island, NY
There are two ways to completely transform a standard hall or venue: full reconstruction or creative lighting. One is expensive, the other is lighting. And hands down, lighting is the most cost-effective way to turn any ordinary space into something jaw-dropping. A few decorations canโt compete with the dramatic impact of a well-executed lighting design. You can shift the roomโs mood, highlight key features, and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
At Yule Love Lights, we believe great lighting can elevate even residential properties across Long Island, NY into event-worthy spaces.
For high-end venues, lighting can enhance whatโs already beautiful, drawing attention to architectural details, a grand chandelier, or making a stunning cake or floral arrangement stand out even more.
Our FAQs
Frequently Asked Event Lighting Questions
How do you light a ceremony and a reception differently?
Your wedding day moves through two very different moods, and your lighting should move with it. The soft, romantic light of a ceremony is not the same as the energy of a reception in full swing, and at Yule Love Lights we design for both, so the look flows naturally from the vows to the last dance.
For the ceremony, we keep it tender and timeless: gentle uplighting on an arbor or backdrop, warm accents along the aisle, and soft washes that flatter every photo without stealing focus from the couple.
For the reception, we bring the room to life with a dance-floor wash, bistro and market lighting strung overhead for that golden glow, custom monogram or gobo projection of your names or initials, and color-matched uplighting throughout to tie the space together.
We work hand-in-hand with your planner, venue, and photographer so the lighting complements the day rather than competing with it. From the first walkthrough to a careful takedown afterward, every detail is handled by a fully insured, CLIPA-certified team. This is wedding-specific work, distinct from our general event lighting, built around the romance and rhythm of your day.
Call 631-517-0186 to start designing your wedding lighting.
Whatโs included in your all-inclusive event/wedding lighting service?
Our service covers it all: professional design, pre-event walkthroughs, delivery, full setup, on-site coordination, teardown, and cleanup. Youโll never have to lift a finger, we handle every detail so your event shines.
Can I see a mock-up or preview of the lighting design beforehand?
Yes! We offer digital mock-ups or concept boards to help you visualize the look before installation!
How early do you set up, and will someone be there during the event?
We arrive well in advance to complete the full install, typically hours or even a day prior depending on the venue schedule. For premium events, we offer on-site support throughout to handle any adjustments.
Can you match the theme and style of my wedding or event?
Absolutely. We custom-design lighting to fit your exact vision, whether itโs classic elegance, modern chic, romantic garden, or bold and dramatic. We coordinate with your planner and dรฉcor team to ensure cohesion.
How much does wedding lighting cost on Long Island?
Wedding and event lighting is quoted per venue after a walkthrough, not from a package price, because the same guest count in a bare tent and in a finished ballroom are two different jobs. What moves the number is the size of the space, how many fixtures the design needs, whether there are overhead string runs and how they have to be anchored, whether power reaches where the design needs it, your load-in and load-out windows, and whether you want on-site support through the event. Call 631-517-0186 and we will schedule the walkthrough.
Can you send a certificate of insurance to our venue?
Yes. Yule Love Lights is fully insured and a certificate of insurance is available on request, made out to the venue, before load-in. Most Long Island venues require one and will not let a vendor through the door without it, so we handle it as soon as you book rather than the week of the event. Our installers are also CLIPA-certified, which is the industry certification for lighting professionals.
Do you work in tents and backyard weddings?
Yes, and it is some of our favorite work. A backyard or tented wedding starts with nothing, so the plan covers tent lighting, the dinner area, perimeter and pathway light so guests can find the house and the parking in the dark, and enough ambient light to eat by without washing out the tent. Power is the piece people forget, so we confirm what is available on the property during the walkthrough and design around it.
Can you match our color palette?
Yes. Color wash and uplighting are set to your palette, and we will confirm the exact colors against your linens and florals rather than guessing from a swatch on a screen. If your planner has a deck, send it and we will tell you what the room can actually hold. Gobo and texture lighting can also project a monogram or a pattern if that is part of the design.
What happens if something fails during the reception?
We come with backup equipment and, for premium events, we offer on-site support through the event so an adjustment happens in a minute instead of becoming a story. Anything that fails gets swapped rather than debugged in front of your guests. This is the main reason to have a lighting vendor on site rather than a delivery-and-leave rental.
If you have a question that is not answered here, please donโt hesitate to reach out to us. Weโre always happy to help and provide additional information. We want to ensure that you have a great experience with our company and your Christmas light installation is done to your satisfaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does wedding lighting cost on Long Island?
Wedding lighting is custom-quoted because every venue, guest count, and design is different, so we donโt publish a flat price. Cost depends on your space, the elements you want (aisle accents, uplighting, bistro strings, monogram projection), and whether youโre lighting one room or ceremony plus reception. The fastest way to a real number is a quick walkthrough or call to 631-517-0186, where we build a quote around your date and venue.
Do you offer wedding lighting near me on Long Island?
Yes. Yule Love Lights is a Long Island family-owned company serving Nassau County, Suffolk County, and all of Long Island. We regularly work with couples and venues in towns like Huntington, Garden City, Massapequa, Dix Hills, Syosset, Oyster Bay, Smithtown, Northport, and Melville. Tell us your venueโs town when you call 631-517-0186 and weโll confirm coverage and scheduling for your wedding date.
Whatโs included in your wedding lighting service?
Our wedding lighting is a full-service, hands-off engagement. It includes a pre-event venue walkthrough, a custom design built around your palette and timeline, professional installation, on-site coordination, and a clean, careful takedown after the celebration. We coordinate directly with your planner, venue, and photographer so the lighting complements your day rather than competing with it. Everything is handled by a fully insured, CLIPA-certified team. Call 631-517-0186 to start.
Can you light both the ceremony and the reception?
Yes, and itโs how we prefer to work. We design the ceremony to stay soft and romantic, with gentle uplighting on an arbor or backdrop and warm aisle accents that flatter photos. Then we shift the reception to higher energy, with a dance-floor wash, overhead bistro lighting, color-matched uplighting throughout, and optional monogram projection. Designing both together keeps the look flowing naturally from your vows to the last dance.
How far in advance should we book wedding lighting?
Earlier is always better, especially for peak wedding-season dates, because a single team can only be at one venue per day. Booking ahead gives us time for a proper venue walkthrough, a finalized design tied to your colors and floor plan, and coordination with your planner and venue. To check availability for your specific date and lock it in, call 631-517-0186 as soon as your venue and date are confirmed.
Are you insured to work at our wedding venue?
Yes. Yule Love Lights is fully insured, and Certificates of Insurance are available on request, which most Long Island venues require before vendors can set up on site. Our installers are CLIPA-certified, and weโre comfortable coordinating with venue managers, planners, and event coordinators on access, timing, and on-site power. Share your venueโs requirements when you call 631-517-0186 and weโll provide the documentation they need.

Lighting for Long Island Wedding Venues
Yule Love Lights designs, installs, and removes wedding lighting across all of Long Island, from the North Fork to the Hamptons, the Gold Coast, and the South Shore. Long Island wedding settings fall into a few broad types, and each one lights differently. We tailor the design to the space, not the other way around, and we are CLIPA-certified and fully insured, with certificates of insurance available on request for venue and event teams.
| Venue type | What the setting is like | How we light it |
|---|---|---|
| North Fork vineyards and wineries | Working farms and wineries with outdoor ceremony lawns, vineyard-row backdrops, decks, pavilions, and tented receptions, common May through October. | Bistro and cafe strings over decks and dining areas, uplighting on vine rows and structures, and warm canopy washes for tented spaces. |
| Waterfront and country-club venues | Beach clubs, catering halls, and country clubs with verandas, lawns, and bay- or Sound-front ceremony spaces overlooking the water. | Perimeter and architectural uplighting, string lighting along verandas, and color-wash accents that complement the water view at dusk. |
| Tented estates and backyards | Private homes, historic estates, and backyards turned into one-night venues with rented tents, flooring, and full catering, the neutral canvas lighting is added to. | Canopy and star-field treatments inside the tent, bistro strings for perimeter and dining glow, and uplighting to color the tent walls. |
We work at vineyard, waterfront, and tented venues like those across Long Island. We describe these as venue types to show the range of settings we light; the names of specific venues are industry context only and do not imply any affiliation or that we have worked at a named site. For your venue, call 631-517-0186 and we will design to the exact space.
Wedding Lighting Packages
Every Yule Love Lights wedding package is all-inclusive: on-site design, professional installation, and same-night or next-day teardown. We are an installer, not a drop-off rental firm, so you never set up or strike a single fixture yourself. Pricing is by custom quote and varies by design, venue, and scope, so call 631-517-0186 for a quote on your event.
Gobo and monogram projection
A custom gobo projector casts your monogram, names, wedding date, or a pattern onto a dance floor, wall, tent ceiling, or lawn. It is the signature personalized touch many couples want for the reception, and we handle the artwork, placement, and focus on site so it reads crisp and centered all night.
Canopy and star-field
Canopy lighting drapes warm strings or a fine star-field of pinpoint lights across a tent ceiling or covered space, turning a blank tent into a glowing room. We pair it with color-wash or uplighting on the tent walls so the whole structure feels finished from the first guest to the last dance.
Bistro and uplighting
Bistro and cafe strings hung overhead give cocktail hours, decks, and dining areas that warm, romantic Edison-bulb glow, while uplighting places fixtures along walls, columns, and vine rows to wash the space in your color of choice. Together they are the workhorse pairing for most Long Island outdoor weddings.
Book Early: Long Island Wedding Lighting Season
Outdoor wedding lighting on Long Island peaks in late spring and early fall, roughly May through June and again September through October, when the weather is best for vineyard, waterfront, and tented events. Long Island venues themselves often reserve 12 to 18 months in advance, so the earlier you lock your date, the more design options and calendar flexibility you keep. Call 631-517-0186 as soon as you have a venue and date to start your lighting design.
Backed by our 5.0-star rating across 172 Google reviews and our Stay-Lit Guarantee, if a light goes dark we fix it fast, within 48 hours, at no extra charge. Ready to plan? Call 631-517-0186 or get a free quote.

Where we light weddings and events on Long Island
Every venue type breaks a lighting plan in a different way, and the plan has to be built around the room and the rules, not around a package. These are the situations we work in most often across Nassau and Suffolk.
- Catering halls and banquet rooms. The room is already built, so the work is color: uplighting the perimeter, washing the walls to your palette, and killing the flat overhead light that makes every photo look the same. Most halls have their own rules about what can be attached to a wall or ceiling, and we confirm those before the design, not on the day.
- Waterfront and yacht club venues. Wind and open sightlines. Overhead string runs need proper tension and anchoring, and anything on a deck or dock has to be routed so nobody trips on it in the dark. The payoff is the best backdrop on the island once the sun goes down.
- Country clubs and golf clubs. Usually a mix of indoor reception and outdoor cocktail hour, which means two lighting plans and a clean handoff between them as the light changes.
- North Fork vineyards and farm venues. Long open spans, few walls, and often limited power. String lighting, market lighting over the dinner area, and a real plan for where the power comes from.
- Backyard and tent weddings. The hardest of the group and the most rewarding. Nothing exists until we build it: tent lighting, perimeter and pathway light so guests can find the house and the parking, and enough ambient light to eat by without washing out the tent.
- Corporate events, galas, and holiday parties. Same techniques, tighter load-in windows, and usually a certificate of insurance required by the venue before anyone touches the room.
What it costs
Event and wedding lighting is quoted per venue after a walkthrough, because the same guest count in a bare tent and in a finished ballroom are two different jobs. What moves the number: the size of the space, how many fixtures the design needs, overhead string runs and how they have to be anchored, whether power is available where the design needs it, load-in and load-out windows, and whether you want on-site support through the event.
For market context on what event lighting runs on Long Island generally, read our 2026 event and wedding lighting cost guide. For your venue specifically, call 631-517-0186 and we will schedule the walkthrough.
Working with planners and venues
- Certificate of insurance on request, made out to the venue, before load-in. Most venues require it and most will not let a vendor in without it.
- Venue walkthrough before the design, so the plan matches the roomโs rig points, power, and house rules instead of fighting them.
- We coordinate with your planner and decor team rather than working around them. Send us the deck and we will tell you what is and is not possible in that room.
- Setup, on-site coordination, teardown, and cleanup are part of the service. Nothing is left in the room and nobody in your party is moving equipment.
- CLIPA-certified and fully insured. Rated 5.0 from 172 Google reviews, and family-owned on Long Island since 2022.
