Was hoping to hear the answer to this so I'll bump it lol
I was just looking at this company online as well. I don't have any reviews, but I'd love to hear about others' experiences!
I just booked a rental with them. My wedding is in May so I'll let everyone know how it goes. I spoke with someone that was actually very helpful. The company seems legit and actually has a bigger 'Parent' company that they run locally (I think it is a upscale DJ service) I paid only a $25 deposit to reserve the lights for the date and a total of $190 for 10 lights (minus the $25 I already put down) which I think will be more than enough. I would definitely consider checking them out. The lights are very cool and really easy set-up with about 7 different color options.
I'm trying to do the same...my only hesisitation is that I'd like the security of having an on-hand lighting specialist in the venue in case things don't go right...has that happened to anyone?
@CassyT: Congratulations! I'd love to hear what you thought after your wedding. Our potential DJ quoted us at $280 for 8 lights, so DIY Uplighting would definitely be a better deal, but I'm a little nervous about how it would come out.
we were going to do diyuplighting.com but their lights arent that wide ranged. In order to get that color wash that we, and most ppl want, you need to put one down every 3-4 ft. so we went with a local md dealer. his lights can stretch to 5-8ft apart and they rech over 32ft high. he gave us a quote for $250 for 10 lights and that included set up and break down. But send pics! I want to see how they turned out!
Wow, the quotes I have been getting are like $1200-$1500 for 16 lights, but they are LED versus the par cans.
@Soon2bMixon13: Would you mind sharing the name of the person you used on here or PM me? I'm in MD and that sounds like it might be good! Not sure if we just want accent lights or more of the color wash look, since we also want lights on the dance floor.
@Mrs Lunchbox: Sure! We are getting them from this wedding company called Sweet Sensations LLC. I first heard about them because I was thinking about getting ostrich feather centerpieces from them. But they do like everything and they have pretty good rates too. Normally their lights are $35 each, but they have a sale until april and we got them at 25/light and a monogram for $150. Their website is www.sweetsensationsllc.com.
Who are you using for your photographer and MOA?? I still dont have one yet. I was thinking about Scott Bay Photography. They are very pricy but his work is gorgeous. and I have no idea for an moa yet, plus my wedding isnt until next year, so I dont know if moa's book that far in advance.
For that price you could buy them. http://www.save-on-crafts.com/canspot.html Then maybe you could re-sell them after and make some money back.
@Soon2bMixon13: Awesome - definitely going to check that out! Thank you! I think I responded on the Baltimore board, but for photography we're leaning towards Kristen at KLM Digital. She's really familiar with our venue and has a good package for $2000, which fits into our budget perfectly. We don't have much planned beyond that.. glad to see another fall 2013 bride is planning already!
Has anyone used the save-on-crafts version or know if those are the same as the kind you can rent online? I know nothing about this but we do still need to figure out what we're doing for lighting.
I would assume that the save-on-crafts version would not give you the wash you probably want. The cans seem to contain the light a bit. The lights from DIYuplighting are the very strong big round circle lights with several individual LEDs. For the price of the par cans from save on crafts you could just order one and try it. 
no, there not! if you buy really cheap, you are going to get really cheap. there is an uplighting post where this bee posted a picture of the save on crafts picture and you can totally see the how tacky they look.they look more like flood lights, plus they are what $19? 20 bucks each? for 5 - 15 more you can get professional grade ones and not have to worry about setting up lights on your wedding day. plus, then you have to worry about finding someone to re sell it to someone. I highly recommend Sweet Sensations LLC, they are the company we are going with. Their info is in a previous post. They came to us, with an uplight demonstration and made the exact color we were looking for. They charged us $25/light due to special and that also included the linking cables so that all of the lights work in sync, and it included them to set everything up and pick it back up.Should you decide to check the out, tell them that Amber Tessler referred you and you can get 5% off! Good luck!
I also booked with diyuplighting and my wedding is in June so I'll have to post pics and let everyone know how it worked out. Ten lights $190 nice price for me.
Just an update if you were looking into DIYuplighting.com and a little skepticle...I am about 8 weeks away from my wedding and I just emailed them for some assurance and to make sure they have my order. They sent an email right back probably 1 minute later with all of my order details and the dates of shipping and they also give you a tracking number when shipped. Made me feel so much better!!!
I ended up buying some Par38 cans instead of renting from DIY, but only cause I got a slightly better deal. I managed to purchase 8 of the par cans with bulbs for only $100 and will most likely be selling them off after the wedding. However, they are halogen and not LED...
For those buying them yourself.... they stink the first couple time you turn them on for some reason. Just a heads up. I read this when figuing out how to DIY them so I decided against it just bc I didn't want to deal with it.
Thanks ladies! I think we'll probably end up going with them, but we have plenty of time to decide. I'd love to hear how they turn out for you/see pictures :)
@CassyT: hi there, was the company you used sweet sensations, llc.? if so, can you tell me how there services were. you can email me at seselia67@yahoo.com. thanks.

Any bees rent uplighting from DIY Uplighting.com? I found them online and they are renting Chauvet slim par 56 lighting for $19 per light. I just want to know if anyone has used them and are they legit? Any reviews?
