## Outdoor Lighting Built for Ontario Weather

A backyard wedding or tent reception lives or dies by two things: ambiance and weather. We handle both.

As a full-service 

event lighting company serving Toronto and the GTA

[/ →](/)

, we design backyard and tent setups from intimate Oakville backyard receptions to large sailcloth tents in Caledon and family parties in Etobicoke. Every setup is built to look magical at golden hour and stay safe if Ontario weather turns.

## Backyard and Tent Lighting Setups We Create

-   **Festoon and string light layouts:** Edison bulbs, warm white, custom spacing
-   **Tent canopy washes:** amber, warm white, or brand-coloured wash across the underside
-   **Chandelier suspension:** for sailcloth tents and high-peak structures
-   **Pin-spotting on florals, cake, and head table:** same approach as ballroom weddings
-   **Focal landscape lighting:** uplighting trees, accent lighting on garden features
-   **Custom power runs:** from your home, generator, or shared service

## Built for Weather

Every outdoor install uses IP65 weatherproof connectors, outdoor-rated fixtures, and GFCI-protected power. We map power runs to avoid walking paths and provide a rain contingency plan in writing before the event.

If a forecast turns mid-week, we adjust, bringing extra weatherproofing, repositioning fixtures for shelter, and coordinating with your tent or rental team. A technician stays through the evening to handle anything that comes up.

## Design Coordination

We work alongside your tent rental, florist, and decor team, not as a competing visual layer. We’ve worked with most major tent rentals in the GTA and know which structures take canopy washes, which support chandelier suspension, and which need ground-supported truss instead.

## Common Setups

**Intimate backyard (under 50 guests):** festoon overhead, pin-spotted head table, uplit focal tree. Power from the home with GFCI distribution.

**Mid-size tent reception (50–150 guests):** canopy wash across the tent underside, chandelier at the peak, festoon over the bar and lounge area, uplighting around the perimeter.

**Large outdoor celebration (150+):** full tent wash, multiple chandeliers, dance floor pin-spotting, generator power distribution, dedicated technician.

## Booking & Lead Time

Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead for peak summer dates (June through September). Earlier for long weekends and holiday weekends, which fill first.

Yes. We coordinate with most tent rental companies in the GTA — we know which tent styles take canopy washes, chandelier suspension, or festoon anchoring.

How much space do you need for setup? expand\_more

Typically 2–4 hours for install depending on layout. We coordinate with your timeline so install is complete well before guests arrive.
