Photos from IL customers
Here's a great example of using lighting to light up drapery at a wedding reception in Kildeer, IL.
Thanks Jackie for sending in this photo from her wedding at St. George's Social Center in Joilet, IL. 30 lights were used to create the wall washing effect.
What gorgeous decor! 10 lights setup at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago, IL.
Looking for ideas about how to transform a Knights of Columbus event hall? Try renting a few uplights for an affordable, dramatic effect! This photo is from the K of C in Danville, IL and is using just 10 lights to illuminate one of the walls red.
20 lights adding a classy effect to a wedding in Chicago, Illinois.
Uplighting adds a magical touch! Check out the Lincoln Banquet Center in Lincoln, Illinois all lit up with only 8 uplights.
Alfonso and Joy did an excellent job lighting their wedding reception with just 10 lights. Looks like they lit all the drapery. A great tip for the "how many lights should we rent" question, is to find something to accent in your room (like drapery, pillers, etc), and then just count up the quantity.

"We cannot tell you how pleased we were with DIYUplighting!! It absolutely brought our banquet to a higher level. The seniors had chosen a galaxy theme. Since we didn't want the theme to be only at the floor level, we tried to think of ways to make the gym seem more grand to get a sense of "universe." When we found your product, we were so excited. The uplighting took the colors up the walls to the ceiling, expanding the spatial sense. On two backgrounds, we crisscrossed the lights to get a glow behind those taking pictures. The lights were perfect since the banquet colors were royal blue, purple, and hot pink, and those could be obtained with the proper settings. It made all the picture areas really "pop" with special glows.
From a service perspective, DIYUplighting is phenomenal! To get the lights ahead of the event to be able to practice with them as to placement and color gave us the effect desired. Return was simple with the prepackaged shipping label, and having an extra day or two to return them was appreciated since the day after the banquet was equitably busy for us with graduation preparations. The rental fee was very reasonable, especially since it includes the shipping costs.
We would definitely consider using DIYUplighting again. The service was great, and the lighting absolutely elevated our theme. Thank you for having a terrific product!"

Easy to use. Looks Great!
DIY Uplighting is a great resource if you're looking to add sophistication to your event without breaking the bank! After checking out the picture, videos, and reviews, we rented about 12 lights for our wedding and just hoped they would work as promised. We were so pleased with the ease of set-up, what it added to our event, and the easy rental process from beginning to end.

Was perfect for our school's banquet
After using them for our school's banquet, I mentioned to a bride-to-be that she may want to consider using these for her wedding. Everything was as described on the website, and we could not have been happier with the effect and service at a reasonable price.

Highly Recommend
Website was easy to use. Everything that was needed arrived in one box. The lights added such character and dimension into the reception space. Easy to set up and easy to return. Would highly recommend to anyone doing their own lighting for an event.
Bayyana
Great Customer Service!
So glad we used this vendor! Pricing was awesome, and ordering and returning was a breeze. One of the lights was lightly damaged in shipping, but the customer service rep we called quickly and without question apologized and made sure we weren't charged.

While it is possible to have too many uplights (and too little) at your wedding, there are ways you can really spice up the wedding ambiance with a few cool neat tricks. You can consider using a monogram combined with uplights to create an exquisite design on the ceiling or walls. You can also use a smoke machine or chandelier to give more life to the lights as well! While uplights can seem slightly dull, with a little ingenuity - you can really spice up your event!
While uplights can help accentuate the mood, atmosphere and spice up the quality of you reception hall or wedding venue, they are not 100% necessary. However, with that in mind - if you don't want the upfront costs of buying uplights, consider renting them or borrowing them instead. Renting uplights is the most cost effective way to own them!
One of our clients who rented our products did a great combination of uplights, marquee letters and a photo booth to create a really amazing spot for wedding guests to take pictures.
The best LED uplights depend on multiple factors. The main factors are (but not exclusively): Mood, size of the room, color accent of the room and atmosphere of the event.
So Far, DIY Uplighting has provided rental LED lights for the following venues and cities in IL:
