ABOUT THIS RENTAL

Lighting is the most transformative upgrade available for evening events and tented celebrations. Bistro string lights under a frame tent create a warm, inviting atmosphere that photographs beautifully and keeps guests comfortable after dark. LED uplighting adds color and dimension to tent walls, trees, and venue spaces in ways that no other rental item can replicate. Kelari Party Rentals carries bistro string lights, LED uplighting, paper lanterns, and flameless LED candles for events across Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, and Vista. We install every lighting element as part of the setup, test everything before leaving your venue, and collect it all after your event.

FAQ

Lighting Rentals — Frequently Asked Questions

Do string lights work under a frame tent?
Yes — bistro string lights hung under a frame tent canopy are one of the most popular lighting setups we do. The tent structure provides natural attachment points and the warm overhead glow transforms the tent interior completely. This setup is particularly effective for evening graduation parties, quinceañeras, and engagement celebrations.
What is LED uplighting and how does it work?
LED uplights are compact floor-mounted fixtures that project colored light upward onto walls, tent poles, trees, or other vertical surfaces. They're color-changeable and can be set to match your event palette. A set of uplights positioned around a tent perimeter or along venue walls creates dramatic ambient lighting that transforms a standard space.
Do I need a power source for string lights and uplighting?
Yes — string lights and LED uplights require standard 120V power outlets. Confirm the location of your nearest outdoor outlets when booking and we'll bring appropriate extension cabling. For venues without convenient power access, ask about battery-powered options.
Can lighting be added to an existing rental order?
Yes — lighting can be added to any order that includes tables, chairs, tents, or linens. We coordinate the full setup in a single delivery. Request a quote with your complete rental list and we'll price everything together.
Is lighting worth it for a daytime party?
String lights and uplighting add the most value for evening events and covered tent setups. For daytime outdoor events, LED candles on tables add a subtle decorative touch without requiring power. If your event runs into the evening — graduation parties and quinceañeras often do — lighting is one of the best investments you can make.
