Your answers questions concerns are one click away
POWER SUPPY
Our large light-up letters require a standard power outlet. If you’re renting 8 or more letters, you’ll need two separate standard outlets on different circuits.
Please note: My Big Letters is not responsible for inadequate, damaged, or faulty power sources at your venue, home, or building. All power sources must be tested and confirmed as working before setup.
Yes! We provide extension cords up to 50 feet as part of your rental.
We also include:
Extra bulbs for your display
Sandbags to safely secure the back of each letter
Gaff tape to neatly and securely manage extension cords
Absolutely! If standard outlets aren’t available at your location, we offer electric generators for rent at an additional cost.
The bonus? Our generators are quiet and low-odor, making them a great choice for outdoor or remote setups without the noise and fumes of traditional units.
WEATHER
Yes! Our giant marquee letters for rent can be used outdoors, but only when weather conditions are safe. We do not set up in high winds, heavy rain, or snow. This applies to both the letters and any add-ons like generators, uplights, florals, backdrops, or giant inflatable balls.
Please note: My Big Letters is not responsible for weather-related issues. It is the client’s responsibility to have an indoor backup plan ready. Refunds will not be issued for cancellations or unusable setups due to unsafe weather conditions without an alternate indoor option available.
For outdoor events, weather can be unpredictable. In cases of high wind, rain, or snow, it’s the client’s responsibility to secure a backup indoor location.
All deposits are non-refundable since we reserve your date and turn away other bookings. Be sure to have a backup plan in case of bad weather.
»Please Note: Giant marquee letters for rent outside require a plan B.
No worries, we’ve got it covered. Light wind and changing weather are totally normal, and we’re used to working around them. We’ll keep an eye on anything over 15 mph for safety.
By the day of your event, the weather is usually clear, and we’ll discuss everything ahead of time to make sure you’re covered.
Please note: Once placed, clients cannot move the letters unless we approve it, and refunds aren’t given for weather-related issues.
SPACE REQUIREMENT
All our large light up letters, numbers, and symbols are 7 feet (height) by 4 feet (length) by 2 feet (width). Most letters weigh between 75 to 100 pounds, depending on the letter and any added décor.
Elevators must be at least 8 feet (height), 4 feet (length), and 8 feet (width) to accommodate the letters safely on a cart.
Stairwells must have 8 feet of vertical clearance throughout.
When arranging your floor plan, we recommend allowing approximately 5 linear feet per letter. This gives enough room for proper setup and helps your display stand out beautifully.
With our marquee letter rentals, planning for the right space ensures your setup is both safe and visually stunning.
Great question! While our giant marquee letters for rent stand an impressive 7 feet tall, they can’t be stacked for safety reasons.
However, we do offer 1 foot toppers like “Mr & Mrs”, “THE”, and custom options that can be safely placed on top of your setup to elevate the look without compromising stability.
