Few things transform an event space like string lights. Strung overhead in a crossing canopy or woven through a pergola, warm string lights turn a plain backyard or blank venue into somewhere that feels like dining under the stars. Opus rents and professionally installs string lights across greater Los Angeles for weddings, backyard parties, and corporate events.
String Light Styles We Rent
- Cafe / bistro lights — larger round bulbs on a strand for that classic “overhead cafe” glow, ideal over dining areas and dance floors.
- Twinkle lights — small, delicate points of light for wrapping trees, pergolas, and backdrops.
Warm white is the go-to for weddings — it flatters skin tones and photographs beautifully. Explore the full event lighting line for uplights and chandeliers too.
Popular Setups
- Overhead canopy — a grid of strands above guests for the “starry night” look, the most-requested setup for weddings and galas.
- Garden and tree wrap — strands wrapped up tree trunks or zigzagged overhead for a magical outdoor feel.
- Pergola and patio — lights run along the framework to define and warm the space.
- Backdrops — curtain-style vertical drops behind a head table or cake display.
Not sure how many strands you need? Our complete guide to string light rentals covers the coverage math, color temperature, and layout.
Professionally Installed
Overhead lighting involves ladders, secure mounting, proper cable tension, and correct electrical load and grounding — so our string lights are delivered and installed by our team rather than dropped off. We handle setup, testing, and takedown so the wiring is clean and hidden and nothing fails mid-event. Delivery and installation are quoted with the lighting.
Perfect for Outdoor Events
String lights are made for LA’s outdoor celebrations. Pair them with patio heaters to keep guests comfortable once the evening cools, and add uplighting to layer the look. From backyard weddings in Malibu to garden parties across the city, we design the setup to fit your space.
