The PORT Perspective

Why PORT Should Be Your Go-To Partner for Event Lighting & Production in Boston

Organizing an event in a new market can be daunting, especially when you're coordinating logistics from afar. But if your next event destination is Boston, partnering with PORT Lighting is your key to a seamless and exceptional event experience—even if you haven’t worked with us before.

We sat down with our Vice President of Production, Chris Burr, who shared some of the top reasons why PORT Lighting is uniquely positioned to make your Boston-area event an extraordinary success:

March 2025:

1. Expert Local Knowledge and Technical Insight

One of the biggest hurdles when planning an event in an unfamiliar city is navigating local venues and regulations. Our team at PORT Lighting has unparalleled expertise when it comes to Boston venues. We maintain extensive technical drawings and highly accurate 3D renderings for nearly every major event space in the city. This means you can begin designing your event immediately, eliminating the need for multiple site visits or walkthroughs.

Chris emphasized, “Being able to virtually step into a venue and see every detail in 3D—before ever setting foot inside—is a game-changer.”

2. Comprehensive Lighting Production Services Under One Roof

PORT Lighting offers far more than just lighting. With our comprehensive production services—including event lighting, technical production management, and innovative production design—our team can handle all aspects of event lighting and production, simplifying coordination and ensuring consistency across your event.

Our fully stocked warehouse, just an hour north of Boston, along with cutting-edge lighting equipment and state-of-the-art facilities, makes us the ideal choice for any event lighting and production need. Additionally, our strong relationships with trusted local vendors enable us to recommend and manage complementary services seamlessly.

Chris describes our advantage clearly: “We provide technical production management under one umbrella, which makes it easy for companies new to the market to trust our recommendations and execution.”

4. A Reliable Partner for Design Firms, AV Companies, and Event Planners
