Browse 143 lighting hire companies in the United States, rated 5 out of 5 across 92 reviews from real clients. Packages run from uplighting and festoon strings to dance floor rigs, moving heads and full stage production. Prices start from $100, with most bookings around $400.
Two things decide the quote more than anything else: how much power the venue can supply, and whether the rig needs a technician on site through the evening. Ask about access and get-out times as well, since many venues want everything cleared the same night, which adds crew hours to the bill.
Of the 143 suppliers listed here, 85 are based in the United States. The other 58 are willing to travel there.

Lighting hire companies in the United States supply and install the rig, then either leave it running on a preset or keep an operator on site. Most cover uplighting, dance floor effects, festoon and pin-spotting for tables, with larger firms adding moving heads, gobos and truss.
Power is the usual constraint. Uplighters run off standard sockets, but moving heads, hazers and truss often need a dedicated supply, and some venues cap the total load. Check whether rigging points already exist or whether the company brings its own stands, and confirm the smoke and fire policy before booking anything that uses a hazer.
Rates for a basic uplighting package in the United States start at $100 and rise to $1,100+ for full production with truss and an operator, with most bookings around $400. Crew time, travel distance and whether the rig stays in overnight are the main variables.
The average price is $400 (USD), with most priced from $100 to $1,100+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

"We hired Zac for an event at Batch Brewery in Austin and had an awesome experience. We wanted the event to be outside but the venue had no PA, so he brought everything we needed. He made our band sound amazing! He was extremely easy to work with. We had rain the day of our event, and he went the extra mile to make sure we had a backup plan in place, while also keeping our amps and his equipment dry and working. He’s was super responsive with questions we had leading up to event.
If you’re planning an event and have too many other things on your mind, leave the sound to Zac and you won’t be sorry!"

"5 out of 5 Stars!
Michelle was easy to work with and replied quickly to my emails. I had a beach party and she even dressed the part, played my song list, and added really smart suggestions. Great energy and she just wanted me to be happy.
I would hire her in a minute. I was Very Happy also with how easy The Bash made this. Sherri"
Events-4u DJs
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Trusted, Professional DJ for Schools, Community Events & Family Celebrations
As a mother of three school-age children, I have had the pleasure of seeing EVENTS-4U DJs and DJ Randy Luv perform at many public and school events throughout our community. From the National Night Out celebration and the Christmas Parade to outdoor community festivals, DJ Randy Luv consistently brings great energy, age-appropriate music, and a fun atmosphere that families can enjoy together.
My middle-school son first recognized DJ Randy Luv from EVENTS-4U DJs after attending a school dance. He came home excited and told me how much fun he had—the music was great, the students were dancing, and the entire event felt like a real party while still being school appropriate. That experience made me confident recommending EVENTS-4U DJs to our elementary school principal and PTO/PTA.
When DJ Randy Luv came to our elementary school event, the parents, teachers, staff, and students absolutely loved him. People were talking about the event for weeks afterward! We were so impressed that we booked EVENTS-4U DJs onsite that same evening for our next school fundraiser. Since he is already a vetted Florida public school vendor and contractor, and is in high demand, it made the decision easy. EVENTS-4U DJs is now on our preferred vendor list.
My oldest daughter is in high school and serves on her school’s Student Advisory Council. Her high school has also booked EVENTS-4U DJs for school dances, including prom. That says a lot about their reputation, professionalism, reliability, and ability to connect with students of all ages—from elementary school events and middle-school dances to high-school prom.
EVENTS-4U DJs provides clean music, professional DJ entertainment, excellent crowd interaction, and reasonable pricing. Most importantly, the students love DJ Randy Luv—he knows how to read the crowd, keep the energy up, and truly bring the party without compromising the standards schools and parents expect.
I have recommended EVENTS-4U DJs, I will continue to recommend them, and I believe they are one of the top-performing DJs in the county for school events, PTA/PTO fundraisers, public festivals, parades, dances, and private celebrations. In fact, I already have DJ Randy Luv booked for my daughter’s Sweet 16!
If you are looking for a reliable, affordable, school-approved DJ in Florida for a school dance, prom, fundraiser, festival, parade, or birthday party, EVENTS-4U DJs is an outstanding choice."

Mission: Media - Event Production
"[Copied from Google Review]
A 30-Year Event Veteran's Perspective
As an event producer with over three decades of experience, I've seen it all.
Over the years, I have:
Produced 100+ events with budgets averaging $1.1 million each
Collaborated with nearly every major event production company across the country
Developed a keen eye for what sets the truly great apart from the merely good
Given this extensive background, it's not easy for a company to truly impress me. Yet Mission Media Event Production managed to do just that. They are, without a doubt, the best event production partner I've ever worked with – truly a hidden jewel in this industry.
Creativity and Technical Precision
In my experience, many companies excel at either the creative aspects or the technical aspects of event production — rarely both. Mission Media breaks that mold. Their team brought creativity that transformed our events, designing innovative stage setups and immersive atmospheres that captivated attendees.
At the same time, their technical precision was second to none. Every audio-visual element was executed flawlessly, from crystal-clear sound at a concert to seamless presentations at a corporate conference. Not once did I have to worry about equipment glitches or lighting miscues; Mission Media's meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless experience.
Outstanding Communication and Professionalism
Communication can make or break an event partnership, and Mission Media truly excels here. From initial planning meetings to final execution, their team maintained clear, constant lines of communication. They listened attentively to our needs and provided regular updates, making us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients.
Professionalism is evident in everything they do – they are punctual, prepared, and polished in every interaction. Yet what impressed me even more was how they balanced that formality with a heartfelt, enthusiastic approach. The team clearly loves what they do, and that positive energy was contagious. This balance made working with them not only effective, but also a genuine pleasure.
Versatility from Corporate Conferences to Concerts
I have engaged Mission Media for events across the spectrum – from high-profile corporate conferences to large-scale concerts. In every scenario, they adapted beautifully to the event's unique demands. For a buttoned-up corporate conference, they delivered a sophisticated production with crisp visuals, impeccable timing, and a tone of refined professionalism that impressed top executives. For a high-energy concert, they shifted gears to create an electrifying atmosphere with dynamic lighting and powerful sound that thrilled the crowd.
The fact that the same team can seamlessly excel in such different environments speaks volumes about their versatility and expertise. Whether it's a formal business gathering or an entertainment extravaganza, Mission Media brings out the best in the event. This kind of all-around excellence is incredibly hard to find. It’s no exaggeration to say that Mission Media has raised the bar for event production in my eyes.
In summary, after 30 years in this industry, I can confidently say Mission Media Event Production is a rare find. They combine creativity, precision, communication, professionalism, and passion into one exceptional service. This company is truly the best hidden jewel in event production, hands down. I would work with them again in a heartbeat, and I recommend them without reservation to anyone seeking a world-class event production partner."

"Jeremy did the videography for our wedding. He went above and beyond our expectations! I was impressed on his follow up and eagerness to please his clients. He was there for every important moment and also did extra that he did not have to do. He sees what needs to be done and does it. He has made the memories of our special day stay alive for us to enjoy over and over. Mark and I highly recommend him!!! He by far was the best vendor we hired. Give him a try, you will not be sorry! We can not thank him enough for a job well done."
