Festoon lights can define a dining area or give an outdoor party a warm evening backdrop. For a wedding or event in Grafton, plan where the lights will go before adding them to the hire order.
Start with the areas that need light
Mark the tables, bar and dance floor on the event layout. Separately consider paths, entrances, parking and toilets. Decorative lighting inside a marquee is not a complete site lighting plan, so discuss those other areas with the venue and suppliers.
Choose the look alongside the marquee
The height and shape of the marquee affect how a lighting design will look. Share the selected style and layout with whoever is arranging the lights. Avoid planning from a photograph of a different structure or assuming lights can be attached anywhere.
Check the equipment and power requirements
Festoon and fairy lights are listed in Grafton Hire’s sound and lighting range, alongside laser and disco lights. Ask which items are available and what power, mounting and setup arrangements they need. Have the supplier advise on suitable use rather than improvising attachments or electrical connections.
Keep furniture and lighting coordinated
Consider where guests will sit and where people will move. Wine barrels or dry bar tables can create a drinks area, while rectangular or round tables suit different dining layouts. The furniture and tableware page lists the available pieces to discuss with the lighting plan.
Confirm who sets the lights up
Grafton Hire installs marquees and dance floors. Do not assume that also includes hanging every light or styling the event. Confirm responsibilities and access times before delivery so the person setting up the lighting has what they need.
