I’m torn between renting and buying stage lighting for a series of upcoming events. Renting seems cheaper in the short term, but I’m wondering if it’s worth investing in my own equipment since we’ll be hosting events regularly. What’s your experience? Does renting offer enough flexibility to justify the cost over time?

I had the same debate last year! We chose renting from rentforevent, and it was the right call for us. Their lights were top-notch, and the best part? We didn’t have to worry about maintenance or storage. Plus, they always had the latest models, so we could adjust depending on the event’s needs. I’d say stick with renting unless you have a dedicated team to handle your equipment year-round. What type of events are you hosting, and do they vary enough to need different lighting setups each time?

Great point about maintenance and staying up-to-date—I hadn’t thought about that. Our events are pretty varied, so I’ll stick with renting for now. I’ll definitely reach out to rentforevent for the next one. Thanks for the insight!
