When Should You Book Holiday Lighting Installation?
September 8, 2025

If you’ve ever waited too long to book your holiday lighting, you know the struggle—fully booked schedules, limited design options, and the stress of last-minute planning.

So… when is the best time to book your holiday lighting installation?
Here’s everything homeowners need to know.

Why Timing Matters for Holiday Lighting

Holiday lighting is more than just plugging in a few strings of lights.
Professional services like On Point Holiday Lighting offer:

  • Custom design consultations
  • High-grade LED installations
  • Maintenance throughout the season
  • Safe takedown and off-season storage

Because of the demand, our schedule fills up quickly—and early!

Best Time to Book: Late Summer to Early Fall

We recommend booking your holiday lighting service between August and October.

Here’s why:

  • More design flexibility: Choose your layout, colors, and extras without limitations.
  • Preferred installation dates: Beat the November rush and secure your ideal timeframe.
  • Avoid price surges: Prices can increase as labor and materials get tighter closer to the holidays.
  • Peace of mind: You won’t be scrambling to decorate last-minute.

By booking early, you get the best value and the smoothest experience.

What If You’re Booking Late?

We get it—life gets busy. If you’re searching for holiday lighting in November or even December, don’t panic.

We may still have openings or waitlist options available.
But we always recommend reaching out ASAP to increase your chances.

Pro Tip: Schedule Recurring Service

If you loved your lighting display last year, consider booking recurring service.
You’ll be prioritized year after year—with your favorite layout ready to go.
