Tips for renting in Lyon
Your choice of venue largely determines what equipment you will need to rent. Industrial spaces like the Halle Tony Garnier or the converted warehouses in Confluence often require substantial lighting and sound systems. Traditional reception halls tend to come better equipped, reducing the amount of external rental needed.
Photo booths have become a staple at Lyon weddings and corporate events. Providers like Selfizee and Rdv Photobooth offer turnkey packages including setup, props, instant printing, and online galleries. Book several months ahead for dates during the peak wedding season from May to October.
For outdoor events, always prepare a rain contingency plan. Lyon generally enjoys pleasant weather, but showers can occur in any season. Marquees, pop-up tents, and modular structures are available for rent to protect your event from unexpected weather changes.
Do not overlook logistics: delivery access for equipment, adequate electrical supply, and sufficient setup time. Share your floor plan with your rental provider so they can correctly size the equipment and anticipate any technical constraints at the venue.
