Lighting Design

Most lighting vendors work from their inventory. We work from your event.

Parallel approaches lighting as a design discipline: we start with the venue, the time of day, the atmosphere you're after, and the way guests will move through the space — then we design a lighting scheme around those parameters. The gear comes second.

This means we're not limited to what we own. We design using our own fixtures, venue infrastructure, and brought-in equipment — whatever produces the right result. For planners, this removes the constraint of choosing between vendors and gives you one point of contact for the complete lighting design.
