Marquee Letter Rental FAQs

Start by sending your event details and phrase through our quote form. To lock in the date, we need a deposit, a signed rental agreement, and a card on file. Dates are booked first come, first served, so your date is held once all three are in place.

Share your event date, start and end times, the venue name and room, and the words or numbers you want to spell. It also helps to mention any add-ons you are considering and how our crew will reach the room, such as stairs, a freight elevator, narrow gates, or a long walk from parking.

Light up letter rental prices vary based on size, number of letters, location, and add-ons. Most setups typically range from $600 to $900+, depending on the overall design. Larger 7ft marquee letters usually cost more than 4ft letters due to their size and setup requirements. For a ballpark number, try our cost estimator, or request a custom quote for exact pricing.

The biggest pricing factors are size, number of letters, delivery distance, setup access, event timing, and extras like balloons, florals, colored bulbs, or a generator. 7ft displays usually cost more than 4ft displays because they take more space and more setup effort. See every option on our add-ons page.

Try to book 4 to 6 weeks ahead, especially during busy wedding and event seasons. Last-minute bookings may still be possible if the date is open, so check availability any time.

No. My Big Letters is a rental company only. Every rental includes delivery, professional installation, and pickup by our crew, so there is nothing for you to store, haul, or maintain after the event.

Yes. We own and maintain our entire marquee inventory, and all of our services are handled in house. The same team that cares for the letters is the team that delivers and installs them at your event.

We offer both 7ft and 4ft marquee letters to fit different spaces and event styles. Our 7ft letters are approximately seven feet tall, four feet wide, and two feet deep, making them taller than most people and ideal for creating a bold focal point. Our 4ft letters are four feet tall and about 3.3 feet wide, making them a great option for smaller venues or tighter layouts where space is limited.

Choosing between 7ft and 4ft marquee letters depends on your space and the overall look you want. The 7ft letters are best for large venues and statement displays, while the 4ft letters are better suited for tighter layouts or more flexible setups.

For 7ft marquee letters, we recommend planning about five feet of space per letter so the display has room to breathe and stand out. Our 4ft letters require less space and are more flexible for tighter setups, making them a great option for smaller venues or longer phrases.

For safety reasons, our 7ft marquee letters are not designed to be stacked. Our 4ft marquee letters can be stacked if you are looking to add height, and we also offer 1 foot toppers like “Mr & Mrs” or “The” that can be used with both sizes.

No. Our 7ft and 4ft letters are full size wired displays that plug into standard power outlets, not small battery letter lights. That is what lets them glow brightly enough to fill a ballroom, a barn, or an open lawn.

Standard lighting is soft white LED bulbs, which give the classic warm marquee glow. Colored bulbs are available as an add-on, and we bring backup bulbs with every rental.

Our inventory includes 7ft and 4ft letters and numbers, specialty symbols, and 1ft toppers that read THE, MR & MRS, and CLASS OF. Send us your exact wording and we will confirm every character is open for your date.

Yes, with approval. Our letters have built-in lips on the back that work well for attaching balloons using trigger clamps. Adhesives are not allowed directly on the letters to protect the finish. View all our add-on options.

No. We are not a general party rental company. We focus on marquee letters and the decor that goes with them, including lighting, balloons, flower walls and arches, backdrops, and mirror balls.

Delivery, professional setup, and pickup are included with every rental, along with the power cords your display needs and backup bulbs. Our crew handles all of the lifting and placement.

Yes. We plan placement, power, and setup logistics with your venue, or with you directly, before event day. Send us the venue contact and any load-in rules and we will work around them.

Yes, marquee letters can be used outside as long as weather conditions are safe. We do not set up in heavy rain, strong winds, or unsafe conditions, so we always recommend having an indoor backup plan.

Both our 4ft and 7ft light up letters use standard power outlets. Smaller setups typically require one outlet, while larger setups may need access to multiple circuits depending on the number of letters.

Yes. If power is not available at your location, we offer quiet generators for an additional fee. Extension cords and all other setup equipment are already included with every rental.

No. Gas generators are only used outdoors. For indoor events, the letters run on the venue’s standard outlets, and our crew brings the extension cords needed to reach them.

For safety reasons, the letters should remain in their designated setup location unless arrangements have been made with our team in advance. If you anticipate needing to move them during your event, we can help plan for that ahead of time.

No, we do not offer customer pickup. Our marquee letters are large and heavy, so delivery, setup, and pickup are always handled by our team to ensure everything is done safely and correctly.
