Lighting Designed for the Moment You'll Remember
Since 1997, Christmas Light Hanging LLC has done more than hang holiday lights — we design ambiance. Our event lighting division brings the same CLIPA-certified craftsmanship to the biggest nights of your year: the first dance under a canopy of warm bistro bulbs, a rooftop reception in the Gaslamp glowing amber against the skyline, a La Jolla garden party where the coastal breeze carries the smell of dinner and every guest lingers because the space simply feels good.
We serve weddings, milestone parties, and corporate functions across all of San Diego County — from Oceanside and Carlsbad down through Chula Vista, and inland to Escondido and Poway. Every install is dimmable, weather-ready for our coastal marine layer, and struck cleanly the next day so you never touch a cable.
- ✓ Color-tunable LED uplighting to match your palette
- ✓ Market & bistro string lights with sag-perfect catenary spacing
- ✓ Licensed, insured, CLIPA-certified installers
- ✓ On-call during your event & same-week teardown

What San Diego Hosts Say
"They uplit our whole La Jolla garden in blush and warm white and hung bistro lights over the dance floor. Our photographer said it was the best-lit backyard wedding she'd shot. Struck everything the next morning — we didn't lift a finger."
"We used them for a 300-person corporate holiday event downtown. Brand-color washes on the stage, clean café lighting over the tables, zero visible cables. Total pros — booked them again for our spring launch."
"On-call the whole night and dimmed the room perfectly when we moved from ceremony to reception. From the first walkthrough in Carlsbad to teardown, they made the lighting the easiest part of planning."
