How Much Does Event Lighting Hire Cost in Nairobi?
Lighting rental in Nairobi at Amazing Theme Party Planners: Pacan uplighters are KES 4,000, 30 m fairy lights are KES 4,500, 30 m festoon lights and Pacan moving head lights are KES 5,000, and the cold spark machine is KES 10,000. For statement lighting, chandeliers for events are KES 40,000 and the floral chandelier is KES 70,000. Prices are per day, with delivery and collection quoted separately.
Which Lighting Should I Hire for My Event?
For a wedding or evening reception, uplighters wash the walls or tent in your colours, and a chandelier adds a focal point. For a tent or garden, fairy and festoon lights add warm ambience overhead. For a party or dance floor, moving head lights add movement, and for an entrance or first dance, the cold spark machine creates a dramatic moment. Pair lighting with a dance floor and sound system.
What Is the Difference Between Uplighters, Moving Heads, Fairy Lights and Festoon Lights?
Uplighters sit on the floor and light walls or fabric from below. Moving head lights are programmable lights that move, change colour and project patterns for parties. Fairy lights are fine string lights for a soft sparkle, and festoon lights are larger bulb strings for a warm outdoor look over tents, gardens and dining areas.
How Do I Plan Event Lighting?
Send venue photos, the ceiling or tent height, the colours you want and the power supply. Electrical lighting needs power and protection from rain, so we recommend placing it under cover. Chandeliers need a ceiling or structure to hang from, so tell us the venue and height before you book, and we will confirm installation.
How Do Delivery, Setup and Booking Work?
Our crew delivers, sets up and collects the lighting equipment at your venue, with delivery and collection quoted separately by distance from our Waiyaki Way yard at KES 270/km for the first 30 km and KES 180/km beyond, with return logistics confirmed in your quotation. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead for weekend events, and 4 to 6 weeks ahead for large orders or peak periods such as December, Easter and August. An 80% deposit secures your date, and the remaining 20% balance is due on delivery, after setup is complete and you have confirmed and accepted all items. We accept M-Pesa, cash, bank transfer and card payments. See the delivery areas on our entertainment and AV hire page. Send your date, venue and venue photos on WhatsApp for a tailored quote.
