Wedding Lighting Designed Around Your Venue & Vision
Be The Light Decor provides professional wedding lighting for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, tents, ballrooms, gardens, and outdoor venues throughout Southeastern Louisiana.
Every wedding is different, so we begin with your venue, layout, guest experience, and the mood you want to create. From there, we develop a custom lighting plan using string lights, uplighting, ceiling draping, tree lighting, dance-floor accents, and other fixtures that complement your décor.
Our licensed and insured team handles installation before your event and removes the equipment afterward, allowing you to focus on your wedding instead of the lighting logistics.

Use uplighting to wash walls, columns, trees, and architectural features with colors that complement your floral design, linens, and wedding palette.
Tree & Garden Lighting
Highlight mature trees, gardens, pathways, courtyards, and landscape features to extend the wedding atmosphere beyond the reception space.
Dance Floor & Feature Lighting
Draw attention to your first dance, entertainment area, ceremony backdrop, cake table, or other focal point with carefully positioned accent lighting.
Lighting Changes How Your Wedding Space Feels
Flowers, linens, tables, and décor are important, but lighting is what guests experience across the entire room. It shapes the mood, directs attention, and helps connect each area of the venue into one cohesive setting.
A well-designed wedding lighting plan can make a tent feel intimate, turn an outdoor lawn into a reception space, highlight a historic venue's architecture, or create a dramatic setting for your first dance.
Our team considers where guests enter, dine, move, take photos, dance, and gather so the lighting supports the entire experience rather than only one decorative feature.
- Enhance your wedding colors and décor
- Create romantic ambient light for dinner
- Highlight ceremony and reception focal points
- Improve visibility on paths and outdoor areas
- Create a polished backdrop for photos and video

Do you provide lighting for both indoor and outdoor weddings?
Yes. We work with ballrooms, wedding venues, tents, gardens, courtyards, private residences, and other indoor and outdoor spaces throughout Southeastern Louisiana.
Can you match the lighting to our wedding colors?

Do you handle setup and removal?
Yes. Our team professionally installs and tests your wedding lighting before the event and returns afterward to remove the lighting equipment.
How far in advance should we book wedding lighting?
We recommend contacting us once your venue and wedding date are confirmed. Popular spring and fall dates can book early, and reserving in advance gives us more time to develop a custom lighting design.
Can you light a wedding venue with limited power access?
Depending on the venue and lighting plan, we can evaluate available electrical access and recommend appropriate power options for outdoor or remote areas.
How much does wedding lighting cost?
Pricing depends on the venue size, lighting style, amount of equipment, installation complexity, and the areas being illuminated. We provide a free custom estimate based on your wedding venue and vision.
Do you provide lighting for rehearsal dinners and other wedding events?
Yes. We can provide lighting for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, receptions, post-wedding celebrations, and other events. See our event lighting services for additional options.
