Event Lighting in New Orleans, Baton Rouge & the Gulf Coast
Be The Light Decor is a full-service event lighting company providing custom lighting for weddings, parties, corporate events, and special celebrations. From elegant ambiance to statement lighting displays, we design lighting that sets the mood the moment your guests arrive.
Every design starts with your venue, your guest count, and the feel you want for the night. From there we build a plan around string lights, uplighting, and draping, whether you need lighting for an indoor ballroom or outdoor event lighting for tents, gardens, and backyard celebrations.
Our event lighting services are available throughout Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, Kenner, Mandeville, Metairie, New Orleans, Slidell, and the surrounding Gulf Coast communities. See our full service area list.

Event Lighting FAQs
Have a question about your event that isn't answered here? Our team is happy to help.
(504) 399-3114Do you provide lighting for both indoor and outdoor events?
Yes. Our team designs and installs lighting for indoor venues, outdoor tents, gardens, and hybrid spaces alike. We assess your venue during the consultation and recommend the right mix of uplighting, string lights, or accent fixtures for the space.
Can you set up event lighting at a venue without existing power access?
In most cases, yes. We work with battery-powered and generator-supported lighting options for venues with limited electrical access, so a lack of nearby outlets doesn't rule out a fully lit celebration.
What's included in your event lighting service?
Every event includes a custom design consultation, professional installation before your event, on-site support during setup, and complete removal once the celebration is over, so you never have to think about the lighting equipment yourself.
How far in advance should I book lighting for a corporate event or large celebration?
We recommend booking as soon as your event date and venue are confirmed, especially during peak seasons like spring and fall. This gives our team time to design a plan around your space and secure the date on our installation calendar.
Can you light multiple events in the same weekend, even at different venues?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate lighting across multiple events in the same weekend, even across different venues, so every part of the celebration feels cohesive and well-lit.
How much does event lighting cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your venue, the type and number of fixtures, how complex the setup is, and how long the lighting needs to stay up. Every event is different, so we provide a free, custom estimate once we know your date, venue, and vision.
What types of event lighting do you offer?
We offer bistro and string lights, tent lighting and ceiling draping, event uplighting and color wash, lights draped through trees, and statement lighting displays for weddings, parties, and corporate events. We'll recommend the right mix for your venue during your consultation.
