30 years. 5,000+ events. One mission — make every event look extraordinary.
Nashville Lighting Rental grew out of Nashville Audio Visual — a full-service production company that has been in the business longer than most of Nashville's current venues have been open. We've been on site for country music award shows, Super Bowl watch parties, political conventions, and thousands of weddings in between.
Over the years, clients kept asking: "Can you just do the lighting?" So we built the dedicated lighting division that Nashville's event industry was missing — a team with real inventory, real programmers, and real accountability.
Today, Nashville Lighting Rental operates as a standalone service while drawing on the full resources and crew depth of Nashville Audio Visual. When you book us, you're getting three decades of production experience behind every single event.

Every inquiry answered
Every design is built from scratch around your specific venue and goals. No templates. No shortcuts. Every event gets our full attention.
We over-prepare. We bring redundant equipment. We arrive early. In 30 years we've never had a show go dark because of our gear.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Your quote is your bill. We walk through every line item so you know exactly what you're getting.
We're part of your team, not just a vendor. We coordinate with your planner, venue, and other vendors to make the whole event work.
We don't buy budget gear. Our inventory is sourced from the same manufacturers that touring acts and Broadway productions rely on. Every fixture is maintained on a regular service schedule so it performs like new on your event day.
