Graduation FAQS
We recommend booking as early as possible for May and June graduations, as those dates tend to fill quickly. Many schools secure their date 2-3 months in advance (some even in the fall for the following spring). However, don’t hesitate to check last-minute – if we have availability, we can accommodate you even a week or two out. Just keep in mind popular weekends (around mid-May for high schools and early May for colleges) fill up fast. Reserve your letters as soon as you have your event date and venue confirmed to guarantee you’ll get the display you want.
Yes! Our marquee letters can be set up outdoors and they make a fantastic addition to open-air grad parties, courtyard ceremonies, or even front-yard celebrations. We take precautions for outdoor setups: sturdy base supports and sandbags (to keep letters stable on grass or uneven ground), and we can provide a generator if there’s no accessible outlet. The letters themselves are water-resistant to a degree (light drizzle won’t hurt them), but for safety we don’t operate them in heavy rain or severe weather. If your outdoor event is tented or covered, that’s even better. We’ll discuss a rain plan with you to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Our clients often rent the letters GRAD for general decor and the graduation year in numbers. Many also spell out their school’s name or initials (like “MBA” for Montgomery Bell Academy, or “Vandy” for Vanderbilt) to showcase school spirit. Another fun idea is spelling “CONGRATS” or the graduate’s first name at a party. We have the full alphabet and 0-9 digits, so you can customize the message exactly to your event!
Yes. We provide full delivery, setup, and takedown for school and university events across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, and Hendersonville. Our graduation marquee letters are ideal for high school and college graduations, commencements, senior award nights, and related school events. Our insured, professional team coordinates directly with your campus or venue so everything runs smoothly from setup to pickup.
Absolutely. We offer a variety of add ons to help you personalize your marquee letters, from colored bulbs that match your school colors to balloon garlands, flower walls, backdrop draping, and even giant inflatable balls. If your school has a mascot, logo, or specific theme, let us know and we’ll get creative with the layout to make it feel uniquely yours. Check out our full list of add-ons here. During booking, you can share your ideas and we’ll help bring them to life or guide you on what works best.
Yes, light up graduation letters require standard power access, which most school venues already have available. For outdoor events without nearby outlets, we recommend using our quiet electric generator. When requesting a quote, we’ll ask about your setup location, surface type, nearby power access, event timing, and any venue rules regarding cords or access. This helps us plan a safe, clean setup that keeps walkways clear and ensures the letters shine their brightest.
