Lighting for Every Hurst Occasion
Mid-Cities events range from formal dinners to casual yard parties, so the lighting plan starts with the occasion.
01
Galas and fundraisers
Benefit dinners and nonprofit nights depend on atmosphere. Uplit walls, glowing entry paths and lit trees help a ballroom or lawn feel special without competing with the program on stage.
04
Lit trees and grounds
Mature trees are often the standout feature of an outdoor venue. Trunk wraps, canopy lighting and soft uplights turn them into natural backdrops for ceremonies, cocktail hours and portraits.
02
Company gatherings
Holiday parties, employee picnics and customer appreciation nights get a lit space that feels planned. Brand colors can guide the uplighting, and setup is scheduled around your business hours.
05
Venue and facade lighting
Building faces, columns, entry canopies and signage can be lit to welcome guests and frame the arrival. We work within venue rules on mounting, power and access.
03
Ceremony to send-off
Couples in Hurst want photos that glow, not flash-washed faces. We light the ceremony backdrop, the reception space and the exit path as one design, then take it all down after.
06
Parties at home
A big birthday, a graduation or a rehearsal dinner does not need a rented hall. We light patios, pools and yards for the night, and our crew takes the lights down afterward.
Install Day and Teardown, On Schedule
Planners worry about two windows: the hours before guests arrive and the hours after they leave. We set both in writing before the event. Our crew arrives when the venue opens for vendors, installs and tests every circuit, and is gone before your guests show up.
After the event we return at the agreed time for teardown, whether that is late the same night or the next morning, and leave the space the way we found it.

From First Call to Teardown
01
Pick a time to talk
Reach our Dallas office Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. The earlier we hear about your date, the easier scheduling becomes.
02
Measure the space
We measure lawns, patios, trees and building faces at the Hurst site and confirm where power is available.
03
Lighting plan
Our proposal shows what gets lit, with which type of lighting, and how the setup and strike schedule will work on event day.
04
Install and test
Our insured crew installs before guests arrive, tests every circuit and walks the layout with your planner or coordinator.
05
Clean strike
After the event our crew takes everything down on schedule, so venue staff and other vendors can finish their own work.
Where Hurst Celebrates
Hurst sits in the heart of the Mid-Cities along Airport Freeway, with a regional mall, a conference center and established neighborhoods. Event lighting here often serves both formal venues and family gatherings.
Hurst Conference Center
Galas, fundraisers and corporate dinners near North East Mall often happen in conference-center ballrooms. Uplighting along walls, a lit entry and accent lighting can add atmosphere within the venue's rules on mounting and power. Load-in times and the venue's vendor rules are confirmed before we design anything.
Chisholm Park
Community events and team gatherings near Hurst's parks need safe, inviting light once the sun sets. For any public or shared space we follow the owner's rules and coordinate permission and timing with the organizer. Lit paths between parking, pavilions and gathering areas keep families comfortable after dark.
North East Mall area
Retail and restaurant businesses around the mall host openings and customer nights. A lit storefront and string lines over an outdoor gathering spot help a launch stand out to evening shoppers and drivers on Airport Freeway. Installation is scheduled around business hours so shoppers and staff are not disrupted.
Established neighborhoods
Hurst's mature trees are ideal for backyard parties and rehearsal dinners. Trunk wraps, canopy lighting and bistro strings over the patio create a glowing setting without renting a hall. We check power and anchor points during a site visit, then install that afternoon and take everything down on the schedule you choose.
Galas and Fundraisers That Feel Finished
A benefit dinner has one evening to make an impression on donors. We light the arrival so guests know they are in the right place, wash walls and columns with color, and add warm accents that help the room photograph well for the sponsors' thank-you posts.
We coordinate with the venue and your event chair on load-in times, mounting rules and power, and we provide certificates of insurance before the crew begins. Teardown follows the program, on the schedule the venue sets.

Cost Factors for Hurst Event Lighting
Pricing comes from the actual site, so these are the details that move it most.
Footprint and guest count
More guests usually means more space to light: longer string runs, more uplights and wider walkways. We size the design to the footprint rather than to a fixed package.
Power at the site
Where outlets are, how many circuits they feed and how far they sit from the lit areas all shape the layout. We confirm power during the site visit, not on event day.
Lighting types chosen
String canopies, uplighting, tree wraps and entry lighting each add materials and labor. Many events use two or three types; some use all of them across different spaces.
Event-day schedule
When the venue lets vendors in, when guests arrive and when the space must be clear all affect crew size and timing. We set these windows in writing before the event.
Mounting and structure
Pergolas, tent frames and building walls give strings something to hang from. Open fields do not, so the design must add supports, which changes material and labor.

Hurst Event Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Can you light a gala at a Hurst conference venue?
–
Yes, within the venue's rules. Uplighting on walls and columns, accent lighting near the stage and a lit entry are common choices. We confirm mounting, power and vendor load-in times with the venue and provide a certificate of insurance before setup.
Do you light rehearsal dinners at homes in Hurst?
–
Yes. A rehearsal dinner in the backyard is a great fit for a string canopy over the tables and uplit trees around the yard. We visit first to check power and anchor points, then set up that afternoon and remove everything on schedule.
What insurance paperwork can you send our planner?
–
We can send a certificate of insurance showing our liability coverage and workers' compensation, made out to the venue, property owner or management company your planner names. Share their exact requirements with us, and we will return the paperwork before the crew is scheduled to arrive.
Can you match our wedding colors or brand colors?
–
Uplighting can be set to colors that complement a wedding palette or a company logo, while warm white remains the classic choice for string lights. We confirm colors in the design and review them with you, so there are no surprises when the lights come on that evening.
Can you light a ballroom or hall?
–
Yes. Indoor spaces benefit from uplighting on walls and columns and warm accent light that softens harsh overhead fixtures. We confirm mounting and power rules with the venue first, schedule the crew inside the vendor window and remove everything on time.
Do we need to stay for teardown?
–
Usually not. Once the removal time is agreed with you and the venue, our crew handles it. Someone with access needs to let us in if the site is locked, but after that we take down every strand and fixture and leave the grounds tidy for the next morning.
Will someone visit the site before the event?
–
Yes. We visit the venue or property to measure the space, locate power and talk through the look you want. Lighting plans built from a real visit avoid surprises on event day, and the visit is also a good time to walk the space with your planner.
Can you light more than one area of a venue?
–
Yes. Many events use a cocktail area, a dining space and a photo spot. We light each one to suit how it is used and connect them with lit paths, so guests move easily from one space to the next without wandering through dark corners of the grounds.
Can we scale the lighting to our budget?
–
Yes. Because the proposal lists each element, you can choose what matters most, such as a string canopy over dinner, and trim the rest. We will suggest where light makes the biggest difference for guests and photos, so the budget goes where it is noticed.
