WE DO IT ALL
Austin Event Lighting transforms spaces large and small for a variety of clients in and around Texas. We in-housed many production elements under one roof so that planning is streamlined, processes are effective, and time is used efficiently. Many of our clients come from around the world so we understand how to communicate across time zones - from the planning to stage through your event. Let us show you What We Do....
Weddings & Ceremonies
Austin Event Lighting started with the loving support of a mom, a sculptor and owner of the wedding venue, Vista at Seward Hill. So weddings are a specialty for us. From outdoor receptions with crystal chandeliers and Edison-style festoon lighting, to Grand Ballrooms with pin spots for your centerpieces and up-lighting to transform the space, we can take your wedding to the next level. Bridging our experience with concerts and intelligent lighting design, we can also take your party and dance floor to match an LA Nightclub!

We can also provide backline, microphones, consoles, DJ equipment, monitors, and audio engineers. The right equipment with the right technicians.
SXSW
Brand Activations to mainstage crowds, Austin Event Lighting has done it all. During SXSW, we accomplish three months of work in two weeks. It takes planning and finesse in our growing town, but we know the back roads to get your band or brand lit up across the whole city.
Lighting, staging, trussing, sound, and power are important, so we work with the best in video and sound equipment to deliver a one-stop-shop for producers. We’ve worked all the major venues in the Austin landscape, but also have the ability to organize and operate in parks, parking lots, or other “unusual areas” that spring up.
Our team understands the importance of a timeline, so we offer Run-of-Show services to insure permits get filed, logistics are planned, and deadlines get met. Multiple years running through the SXSW festival has given us some amazing experience that we look forward to applying to your next event.
