Every major city wants them and every market size finds huge success and great profits from these light shows.

How we can help illuminating your show
Alliance Show Creations can bring any dream to life in lights. We work closely with you to maximize your budget while providing a high quality light show visitors will enjoy year after year. By using energy efficient LED and 12 volt RGB lighting adding lights doesn’t have to be costly on the electric bill. But lighting is more than just adding a few props and lights. Comfort and safety is a priority for us and we will work closely with you and your staff.
Where do we start with your walk through light show
From a simple start of lighting a few trees or the entrance gate to the entire property we can design your light show dream. We can create specialized props just for your location. Lighting each area in it’s own theme is a perfect way to drive foot traffic. Looking for a “wow” factor, we can provide that also. Color changing lighted arches are a great backdrop for family photo’s. Lighted curtains are a magical backdrop for large group photo’s! Adding DMX moving heads can increase visibility for miles around, think of it as free advertising.
When do we start planning your show
From the time you contact us. A simple walk through light show on average takes about six months. A more complex light show with personalized props can take up to a year. At the first meeting we will discuss your ideas, budget and draft a simple plan of areas you would like to light up. The second meeting will cover types of lighting, prop ideas, music, set-up and costs. The third meeting will cover presentation of lighting products, props, controllers and final music selection. We will also let you know how much storage space you will need. Approximately two weeks later we will contact you to present a 3D Layout of your light show.
Pricing a Light Show
What affects pricing? A walk through light show is unique to each layout. Many items affect the overall costs. Custom wireframes can run in the ten’s of thousands of dollars each vs stock wireframes. The amount of props and the lights they require. Would you like existing trees and buildings lit? Choices in music, would you like a five, ten or fifteen song loop? Coro props require pixels to be added, would you like us to insert the pixels or do you have a team? Many items affect the overall price and we would be happy to discuss pricing with you.
