Restaurant lighting

Lighting that ends up on your customers' phones

December is party season, and the restaurants that fill up are the ones that look like the holidays from the parking lot and from the table. Wrapped patio trees, a lit pergola, garland on the entry, a roofline in warm white: it reads as festive in person and in every photo a guest posts, which is the cheapest advertising a restaurant can get.

We install after close so the dining room never shuts, run everything on timers that match your hours, maintain it through New Year's Eve and remove it in January. Breweries, wineries and event venues get the same treatment, with outdoor spaces lit to extend the season.

Patios, pergolas and outdoor seating

Heated patios and covered outdoor spaces stay busy into December when they are lit well. We wrap patio trees, run warm white mini lights along pergolas and railings, and outline the patio roofline so the space reads as part of the restaurant from the street.

Where we light restaurants

Downtown Champaign and Urbana, Campustown, Uptown Normal and downtown Bloomington, downtown Decatur, the courthouse squares of Monticello, Charleston, Sullivan and Clinton, and highway-corridor restaurants from Rantoul to Mattoon. We schedule around game weekends and holiday parties.

  • Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

  • We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!

FAQ

Restaurant lighting questions

See all questions
Can you install while we are closed overnight?
Yes. Most restaurant installs happen after close or before open, and we leave the entry clear by the time you unlock.
Can you light our patio trees and pergola?
Yes. Patios and outdoor seating are where restaurant lighting earns its keep. Tree wrapping, pergola lines and railing lights are all standard.
Do you maintain through New Year's Eve?
Yes. Season-long maintenance runs through the holiday, and we add extra routes the week of Christmas.
