What kind of event are you lighting?

Different goals. Same standard: full crew, itemized quotes, never a dark show.

The NLR difference

“Rental” in the name.
Production on every show.

Competitors drop gear and leave. We stay. Our technicians design the look, run the console, and fix issues in real time — with redundant fixtures on every truck.

  • Design, delivery, rigging, programming, operation, and strike included
  • RGBW color match to Pantone, hex, or fabric swatch
  • Itemized quotes — what you see is what you pay
  • Redundant gear; never a dark show in 30+ years
  • Backed by Nashville Audio Visual since 1995

“Nashville Audio Visual provided uplighting for our most recent event, and it added a beautiful layer of color and visual interest to the overall event design. I’m so glad we made the investment. Their service technician was also excellent.”

“I wish I could give NAV 10 stars! I coordinate prom for a large high school, and NAV has been our go-to lighting vendor for over 10 years. Scott helps bring my vision to reality — and keep my budget on track — each and every time.”

FAQ

Straight answers

Do you drop off lights for DIY rental?

No. We are full-service only — design through strike with crew on site. That is how we protect your event and our “never a dark show” record.

How far in advance should I book?

Weddings and large corporate: 3–6 months (more for peak spring/fall). Concerts and festivals: often 4–8 weeks. Ask about last-minute availability.

What’s included in the quote?

Equipment, transport, crew, programming, load-in, operation, and strike — itemized. No surprise fuel or operator add-ons later.

Can you match wedding or brand colors exactly?

Yes. RGBW LED fixtures match Pantone, hex codes, or fabric swatches with precision.

What if a fixture fails mid-event?

We pack spares and backup control on every show. On-site techs swap and resolve in minutes. In 30+ years and 5,000+ events, we have never had a dark show.

Need more than lights?

Same crew. Full AV when you want it.

Nashville Lighting Rental is the lighting brand of Nashville Audio Visual. If you also need house sound, LED walls, projectors, staging, or power distro, we quote it on one production team — no extra vendors to babysit.

What NAV adds to a lighting show

  • PA / house sound and wireless mics
  • LED video walls and projection
  • Staging, drape, and power distribution
  • One crew, one invoice, one load-in
