Downtown commercial proof
Sazerac House trusted us to light its Canal and Magazine Street landmark
We installed holiday lighting at Sazerac House, 101 Magazine Street, where the building meets Canal Street in downtown New Orleans. A prominent commercial property has to look polished from several approaches, stay dependable through the busiest weeks, and work around guests, operating hours, and building access.
We bring that same planning to restaurants, shops, offices, and homes across the city. Clean lines, organized power, reliable service, and a display designed for the actual property are the standard.

Designed for New Orleans
One city, very different rooflines and streetscapes
A New Orleans display should fit the architecture, the trees, the setback, and how people actually see the property. The right plan for a downtown landmark is not the right plan for a Gentilly ranch or an Uptown home beneath live oaks.
Uptown and St. Charles Avenue
Layered rooflines, columns, porches, deep landscaping, and live oaks often call for a restrained design with strong architectural lines and carefully placed landscape lighting.
Historic character · mature trees
Gentilly
Ranch homes, raised cottages, and wider frontages benefit from clean roofline work plus beds, shrubs, or a feature tree that carries the display across the property.
Residential · whole-property design
Lakeview
Our Lakeview work includes The Backyard on West Harrison Avenue. We design for homes and businesses with clear street visibility, layered rooflines, and outdoor gathering spaces.
Homes · restaurants
Downtown and the CBD
Sazerac House shows the planning required for a visible commercial property where access, operating hours, pedestrian traffic, and the view from multiple streets all matter.
Commercial · hospitality
If your property is in a historic district with installation restrictions, tell us during planning so the design can account for them. We serve New Orleans without a travel fee.
Whole-property design
A New Orleans roofline can be the start, not the finish
A clean roofline gives the property its shape. Wrapped trees add height. Lit shrubs create focal points. Garden-bed outlining carries the display across the full frontage and keeps the landscaping from disappearing after dark.
For taller homes, commercial buildings, mature live oaks, or difficult access, we design around the real conditions. We only charge more for height or access when the installation is unusually tall or difficult.

New Orleans Christmas light questions
How much does Christmas light installation cost in New Orleans?
Most New Orleans homes run $1,400 to $8,000. Starting displays begin at our $900 minimum, and a typical single-story home is around $1,400. Larger homes, complex rooflines, mature trees, extensive landscaping, and unusually difficult access increase the price.
Do you install in Uptown, along St. Charles Avenue, and in Gentilly?
Yes. Our New Orleans work includes Uptown, St. Charles Avenue, Gentilly, Lakeview, and downtown commercial properties. We price the display based on the property and design, not travel distance.
Can you install lights on a historic New Orleans home?
Yes, when the property and applicable rules allow it. Tell us if your home is in a historic district or has installation restrictions so we can account for them during design and access planning.
How much does it cost to wrap a large live oak?
A massive South Louisiana live oak can be a $7,000 to $12,000 project by itself. The final price depends on the tree’s size, access, number of limbs, and how densely you want it wrapped.
Do you install commercial lights downtown?
Yes. We design, install, service, remove, and store commercial lighting systems. Our downtown New Orleans work includes Sazerac House at 101 Magazine Street, where Magazine meets Canal Street.
Do you install Christmas lights in Lakeview?
Yes. Lakeview is part of our New Orleans service area, and our work there includes The Backyard on West Harrison Avenue.
Do returning customers get a discount?
Yes. Returning seasonal customers save 10% each year.
How much is the deposit?
The deposit is 20% to reserve your place on the installation schedule. The remaining balance is due at installation.
Do I own or provide the Christmas lights?
No. The lighting system stays with Let’s Get Lit. You do not buy, provide, store, or maintain the lights. We supply everything, install it, service it, remove it, and store it off-season.
Will you have my lights down by my deadline?
Yes. Tell us your deadline while we plan your installation and we guarantee your lights will be down by it. Takedown is included, begins January 2, and typically takes about three weeks.
When should I book Christmas light installation in New Orleans?
October is the best time to book. Returning customers are scheduled first, so the strongest installation dates fill as the season gets closer.
