Why Sacramento couples are lighting their own backyards
Backyard weddings have become one of the most popular ways to celebrate across the Sacramento region — from oak-shaded acreage in Granite Bay and Loomis to hillside patios in El Dorado Hills and garden courtyards in East Sacramento. The venue is free, the setting is personal, and the photos are unforgettable. The one thing a backyard doesn't come with is lighting.
Once the sun goes down, a yard that looked perfect at 6 PM can be pitch black by 9. The usual fix is renting bistro string lights, poles and uplights, which a crew sets up the day before and tears down the morning after. A permanent lighting system solves the same problem once — and you keep it.
Our Minleon system runs in a slim aluminum channel under your eaves and patio cover. On the day, it gives you soft, flattering candlelight for the ceremony and dinner. Afterwards, it becomes everyday architectural lighting, security lighting, and the lights for every Christmas, Diwali, Halloween and Kings game night to come.
Planning a backyard wedding or reception
Backyard and home weddings have become hugely popular around Sacramento — from small ceremonies to full receptions with tents and dance floors. Lighting changes everything: it makes photos glow after sunset, guides guests safely, and creates the mood for first dances and toasts.
Permanent lighting gives you a soft warm white for the ceremony, a romantic blush or champagne tone for dinner, and the option to brighten for dancing — all controlled from a phone, with no rental crew to schedule.
Engagements, showers and anniversaries too
The same system works for engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and every anniversary after. Save your wedding colors as a scene and replay them each year.
Timeline and practical tips
We recommend installing at least a few weeks before the wedding so you can test scenes and take engagement or pre-wedding photos at the house. Plan the lighting around sunset: warm white during the ceremony at golden hour, then shift to your reception look as it gets dark. Assign one family member to run the app on the day so the couple doesn't have to think about it.

Lighting recipes
From vows to the last dance
Save each moment as a one-tap preset in the app — or schedule them to change on their own.
Champagne Reception
Champagne gold with warm-white accents, slow breathe effect
Elegant glow over dinner tables, toasts and the cake cutting.
Blush First Dance
Blush pink fading into candlelight, very slow fade
A romantic shift the moment the music starts.
Sparkler Send-Off
Bright warm white with a gentle twinkle
Lights the path for the exit and makes the photos pop.
Turn your yard into the venue
Roofline & gables
Outlines the house so it becomes the backdrop for every photo — no rented truss or uplights needed.
Patio covers & pergolas
Even downlight over dinner tables and the dance floor, so guests aren't sitting in the dark at 9 PM.
Eaves over the yard
Washes the lawn and garden with soft light, so the whole backyard reads as one venue.
Separate zones, one app
Run the roofline in warm white while the patio glows champagne — each area controlled on its own.
Around Sacramento
Backyard weddings across the region
Granite Bay & Loomis
Acreage lots, oak-studded backyards and barns make for stunning receptions — but they're dark once the sun drops behind the trees. Long rooflines and outbuildings are exactly where permanent lighting shines.
El Dorado Hills
Hillside patios with sunset views over the valley. Lighting the eaves keeps the view while giving guests safe, warm light after dark.
Folsom & Roseville
Newer homes with covered patios and pools are popular for intimate receptions and rehearsal dinners. We'll check HOA guidelines and keep the look clean, static and approved.
East Sacramento & Land Park
Craftsman and Tudor homes with garden courtyards suit smaller, elegant gatherings. Warm 2700K light flatters brick, wood and mature trees.

Why permanent beats rented
Spend it once
Temporary event lighting is set up for one night and taken down the next morning. A permanent install starts at $2,999 — with $0 down financing — and stays on your home.
Ready for golden hour
Sunset in Sacramento runs past 8:30 PM in June. Schedule the lights to come on automatically as the ceremony ends.
Built for valley heat
Minleon's sealed 100,000-hour LEDs — the longest-rated in the industry — handle 105°F summers, with a 5-year parts and 1-year labor warranty.
Every anniversary after
Bring back your wedding colors every year with one tap — and use the same lights for every holiday in between.
Wedding lighting questions
Can we dim the lights during dinner and brighten them for dancing?
Yes. Brightness, color and effects are all controlled from the app, so you can run a soft 2400K glow through dinner and lift it for the first dance — or save each moment as its own one-tap preset.
Will the track show up in daytime ceremony photos?
The low-profile Minleon aluminum channel is color-matched to your trim and tucked under the roofline, so in daylight photos it reads as part of the house.
Can we change colors between the ceremony and the reception?
Absolutely. Many couples hold warm white for the ceremony, shift to champagne gold or blush for the reception, and finish with a gentle sparkle for the send-off.
How far ahead should we book before the wedding?
Most homes are installed in a single day, but our calendar fills from October through December. For a spring or summer wedding, booking 4–8 weeks out gives you time to test your presets before guests arrive.
What happens to the lights after the wedding?
They stay. The same system runs warm-white architectural lighting every night, plus every holiday, game day and family celebration — rated for 100,000 hours, with a 5-year parts and 1-year labor warranty.
