String, Market & Twinkle Lighting
Ten thousand tiny lights. One unforgettable ceiling.
Your Needs, Our Craft
Nothing says "celebration" like a ceiling of warm lights. Market lights bring the charm of a European café to a backyard or courtyard; dense twinkle-light canopies turn a tent or garden into a starry night guests walk into with their phones already out.
This is rigging-intensive work: spans, tension, sag, power, and safety. It's where a specialized lighting company earns its keep. We design, engineer, and install canopies that look effortless and hang exactly as drawn.
Since 2017
The Candlelight Canopy
Our signature look is thousands of warm twinkle points overhead, layered dense enough to read as a sky full of stars. It's the single most photographed thing we install. Under a clear-top tent it means dining under the stars with none of the weather risk; over an open lawn it turns dinner into something guests describe for years.
Ask for it by name. Planners do.
Rigged right, every time
String and twinkle installations carry real weight under real tension across real spans. We engineer every canopy: anchor points, cable, strain relief, and clean power. When a site has nothing to rig from, we install freestanding poles. It looks like magic because the engineering doesn't show.
Imagine walking into your venue and seeing exactly the room you pictured, only warmer, grander, and more alive.
That confidence is why planners, venues, and hosts across Southern California call Candlelight Designs, Inc., and why most of our work comes from referrals.
String, Market & Twinkle: Questions We Hear Often
Our backyard has nothing to attach lights to. Can you still do a canopy?
Yes. We bring weighted freestanding poles and tensioned cable, so we can build a canopy over open lawn, pool decks, and driveways with zero attachment to your house or trees.
Can the lights dim during dinner?
Yes. We put canopies on dimming control as standard, so the same installation can be bright for arrival, warm for dinner, and low and starry when the dancing starts.
Do you leave the installation up for multi-day events?
We do multi-day and even semi-permanent installations. Weather-rated hardware and a site check are part of the quote, so just tell us your dates.
