On the day of your event, our team delivers and installs your marquee letter display. Once we arrive at your event venue and determine the best location for your letters, all we need is about 5-10 minutes per letter. Example: A 10-letter setup will take an hour to be completed. A stacked setup will add an additional hour.
We'll provide all the necessary extension cords and equipment for your setup.
Our letters are laser cut and seamlessly welded. The LED lights wired into the letters reflect beautifully off the white gloss powder coated finish.

Custom Design Questions
Yes! Connect with us to discuss your vision and we'll do our best to make it possible.
Although we specialize in working with aluminum, we can work with almost any material you desire!
Each custom piece varies on the length of time it takes; but a safe time frame is 2-3 months.
We can’t build things a mile long! But we can definitely do our best to build something LARGE or small if needed!
We require a client have a vision of what they want. Although we can give some small suggestions, we will look to you for instructions and specifics about what you want.
Let's discuss! If the custom piece you're requesting is branded (like the Audi logo), yes. Since these pieces are custom-designed to meet your needs, there is a difference in pricing. But most importantly, the custom pieces we make for you are yours to keep. Forever! This difference in pricing will reflect your full ownership of the final piece, rather than the rental rate of our standard pieces. However, if you're requesting a piece that can be added to our catalog and rented out in the future, there is no additional charge.
Everything we create is either built in-house or we are very involved in the process. We build Luxury Letters and we expect nothing less in a custom piece!
Yes. All of our marquee designs--standard or custom--are able to be used both indoors and outdoors. They are weather-resistant. Due to the electrical components, they are not weather-proof but will hold up in mild weather conditions.
Start with an email or request a quote and we will set up a personal meeting either by phone or in person to discuss the details from your vision until receipt of your final product!
Possibly! Let’s discuss your needs and we can figure out a path forward!

Yes, with guidance from Event-Lit you can sell/transfer the license in the future. The best part is that with hard work growing your business, you can sell it for more than you bought it for!
