Illumination to Elevate Any Occasion
When it comes to creating an unforgettable atmosphere for your wedding or event, professional lighting is an absolute essential. At Silver Bells, we believe lighting isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about transforming spaces, enhancing experiences, and leaving a lasting impression. Our event lighting goes beyond the ordinary, offering a comprehensive package that combines functional needs with artistic expression to ensure your celebration shines with brilliance.
The Perfect Blend of Form and Function
Professional event lighting is more than just decoration – it’s a strategic choice that addresses both functional requirements and aesthetic aspirations. From guiding guests along pathways to illuminating seating areas and accentuating architectural features, our lighting designs serve a purpose beyond beauty. Our all-inclusive wedding and event lighting services encompass skillful and artful lighting design, flawless installation, and efficient removal. This means that you and your guests can focus on enjoying the day without the hassle of DIY efforts or the uncertainty of involving friends or inexperienced contractors.
Beyond Dusk: Illumination for Day and Night
One common misconception is that event lighting is reserved solely for after sunset. However, our range of lighting options are designed to shine – literally – at any time of day. Many of our lighting choices are equally impressive indoors or outdoors, during daylight hours or under the stars. Lighting creates ambiance, highlights focal points, and ensures that your event’s beauty is showcased no matter when or where it takes place.
Crafted for Your Unique Event Flow
We understand that events have a rhythm, a flow that guides guests through different moments and experiences. Our expert team collaborates with you to comprehend your event’s needs, and we design lighting that facilitates these transitions and magical moments seamlessly. Whether it’s a grand entrance, a heartfelt ceremony, a joyful reception, or a dance-filled evening, our lighting designs are tailored to enhance every aspect of your celebration.
Capturing Memories That Last a Lifetime
Whether it’s a wedding, graduation party, or product launch celebration, your event is a day you’ll want to remember forever. With professional lighting, you not only create an unforgettable atmosphere for your guests but also capture stunning memories that will stand the test of time. Proper illumination is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your professional photographers, ensuring that every moment is vividly captured in all its splendor. From candid shots to formal portraits, the right lighting elevates the entire photographic experience.
Versatile Options for Your Dream Celebration
At Silver Bells, we offer an extensive array of exquisite lighting options that can transform any event into a mesmerizing spectacle. Imagine your guests sipping cocktails on a patio adorned with the soft luminosity of café string lights overhead, casting an intimate and dreamlike aura. They are captivated by the elegant spread of tuxedo truffles encircling a champagne fountain as the glistening diamonds of chandeliers float effortlessly above. Overhead, a twinkle light ceiling evokes the allure of a star-studded sky, inviting you to dance beneath its celestial charm. In the background, a light-studded hedge guides guests to an intimate seating area illuminated by soft lights caressing each curve of the surrounding trees. As your grand exit approaches, guests are ushered safely along a pathway marked by a gentle glow cascading from oversized Edison bulbs scattered through the tree canopy above. The air fills with cheers and applause, a fitting soundtrack that fades away as you cruise down a driveway lined with twinkly trees bursting into the night sky like a firework finale for your unforgettable day.

Here are some common areas we specialize in illuminating for your event:
Our lighting expertise offers endless possibilities, all tailored to your unique vision and event needs. With Silver Bells, your event lighting becomes an exquisite expression that elevates every facet of your celebration.

It really comes down to expertise. As a team of lighting professionals that specialize in wedding and event lighting, we know how to provide the quality, design, and experience our clients need, not only for an incredible event but also stunning photos and videos to cherish for years to come. It’s the same reason you wouldn’t hire your florist to also provide catering – while some basic skills may exist in both arenas, your special day warrants expertise.
Pro tip: Did you know that some types of lighting that look good in person do NOT photograph well? Can you imagine having your wedding photos ruined because of bad lighting?! Ugh, this hurts our hearts.
We can’t – BUT we promise this is a good thing! We know you can easily and inexpensively pick up some lights from Amazon or one of the local big box stores (or maybe you already have a few totes full in the garage). However, the quality of those materials is SO different than what we provide. We are very particular about the lights we use. There are a lot of reasons for that, but here are just a few of them:
We totally get it – you’re handy, have a keen eye for design, and access to materials. Seems like the right combo to pull off doing your own lighting. So why not? Well…if you haven’t read the bulleted list above, please do! Now, if your response to that list wasn’t, “Ugh, okay. I get it.” and you’re still tempted to DIY this, here is something to think about: You know how you want your special day to LOOK…but how do you want it to FEEL? Do you want your friends and family (or yourself – yikes!) to be spending the day setting up lights or do you want them spending it with YOU – laughing, relaxing, and creating magical memories? Do you want to be stressing about whether things are being done right or would it feel amazing to know that everything is handled by a pro and all you have to do is show up and enjoy it? The very best recommendation we could give our DIYers is this: DIY your little heart out with all the things that can be done BEFORE your big day – that personal touch can be stunning (and budget-friendly). But if you can, let a professional handle the important things that must be done the day of the event (or even within a few days prior) so you can spend that time enjoying your loved ones rather than fussing with the details.
We don’t do rentals at this time but check back later as we are always striving to add new options that may benefit our customers.
We require a deposit to schedule plus an additional payment at 90 days and full balance paid 30 days prior to your event. We will provide you with a detailed contract that includes the exact payment schedule with amounts.
Our prices depend on a variety of factors, which is why we provide you with a customized quote after a thorough design consultation. We will also ask for details related to setup and removal requirements and timelines. This enables us to give you the best price possible and to tailor the design to your needs – both style and budget.
Total pricing depends on the design and scope of the project which is why we meet with you in person to work through those details and to make sure we fully understand your goals and needs. The more information you can provide for us during your design consultation, the better. We know one of the toughest questions to answer if you’re new to event lighting is how much to budget, which is why our designers will work closely with you to develop a proper budget that we can work within. Our wedding/event lighting services start at $800; to date, we’ve done event lighting projects ranging from modest but tasteful designs near our $800 minimum to elaborate projects over $20,000 and everywhere in between. Our average project is around $3,600.
While we want to provide some numbers here for you, we realize they really don’t mean much until they’re tied to a design. Like most custom services, there is a huge range of options at varying price points so the best place to start is to meet with one of our talented designers so we can start working toward the right options for your unique needs, budget, and venue.
Oh my, where to begin?! With Silver Bells, you can rest easy knowing you’ve hired top professionals who will do beautiful work and make your life easier throughout every step of the process. We are lighting professionals with the design expertise to create the perfect ambiance for your event. Plus, we think you’ll find we’re pretty great to work with – helping with your wedding or event lighting really is more of a passion than a job and we are absolutely honored to be part of your special moments.
For most venues, the lighting permanently installed indoors is intended to provide thorough and even lighting throughout the space to accommodate a variety of activities and layouts. While this generic, multi-purpose approach means you’re unlikely to have dark corners creating safety concerns, it leaves much to be desired in terms of intentional aesthetics and functions that are unique to your event – specifically creating the ideal ambiance, highlighting key décor or focal points, and guiding guests through the space while curating the memorable experience you’ve envisioned. Event lighting by Silver Bells elevates every space by customizing it to the unique needs of your special day.
Absolutely! Backyard weddings are some of our favorites because we really get to be creative in a new space as we blend your style and preferences with gorgeous lighting that checks all the boxes for aesthetics, mood, function, and safety.
Great question! We wouldn’t necessarily recommend adding just any lighting…but lighting by Silver Bells, absolutely! The reason for this is that not all lighting looks as good as it should during the daytime to warrant inclusion in your budget if your outdoor event ends before dusk. Type and quality really matter here. Similarly, not all lighting can enhance outdoor daytime photography. Expertise in daytime event lighting is crucial here, so we’re glad you found us! Not only do we offer some gorgeous lighting options that do look great during the day (both in person and photos), but our skilled team of designers will also assess your space and create a custom lighting design that is worth the investment. Here are just a few reasons why the right outdoor lighting for daytime events is worth considering:
