Custom neon
Names, initials, a date or a wordmark in warm neon. The strongest option for evening events, and unbeatable against a dark wall.

Custom Signs New York
Neon, acrylic, laser-cut and wood signage — produced in house and mounted into your wall, so the sign and the backdrop appear in the same photograph.
Delivery quoted separately, by venue address.
Why it matters
A sign puts words in the photograph
A flower wall tells people where to stand. A sign tells them — and everyone who later sees the photo — what the occasion actually was. Without it, a beautiful backdrop is anonymous.
The detail that matters is mounting. A sign on an easel beside the wall gets cropped out of most photographs, because people frame on faces. A sign set into the wall is in every shot whether the photographer intends it or not. That is the difference between decoration and communication.
We produce signage in house and install it as part of the same build, so you are not coordinating a separate sign maker against a delivery window.
Options
Signage we produce
Acrylic
Clear, frosted or coloured acrylic with cut or printed lettering. Clean and contemporary; suits corporate and modern weddings.
Laser-cut lettering
Individual letters or a full lock-up cut to shape. The cleanest way to apply a company logo to a wall.
Wood
Stained or painted timber signage. Warmer and more textural — right for rustic, garden and outdoor settings.
Marquee letters
Large freestanding illuminated letters. Used for scale — initials, a name, or a short word beside the wall.
Table & ceremonial signs
Seating charts, welcome boards and bar signage, produced to match the main installation.
Pairing
Getting neon to actually glow
Neon is a light source, and light sources need darkness to read. This is the most common mistake we see: a beautiful custom neon sign mounted on a white wall in a brightly lit room, where it reads as grey tubing rather than glowing text.
- Black wall — the strongest ground for neon. Maximum contrast, and the sign becomes the focal point.
- Deep greenery — Greenstreak or Paris, where the dark foliage lets the light sit forward.
- Evening events — neon earns its cost after dark far more than in a daylit room.
Answers
Custom signage FAQ
Do you make custom neon signs?
Yes. Custom neon is one of our most requested add-ons — names, initials, a date, a wedding hashtag or a company wordmark. Neon needs lead time to produce, so come to us as early as you can once your wording is decided.
What materials do you offer besides neon?
Acrylic, laser-cut lettering, wood, and freestanding marquee letters. Acrylic and laser-cut suit corporate and modern settings; wood suits rustic and outdoor weddings; marquee letters work where you want scale rather than subtlety.
Can a sign be mounted directly into a flower wall?
Yes, and that is how most of our signage is used. Mounting the sign into the wall means both appear in the same photograph, rather than the sign standing separately off to one side where it gets cropped out.
Can we keep the sign after the event?
Custom-made signage carrying your names or branding is yours. Stock and marquee pieces are rental items. We will make clear which is which when we quote.
Which wall works best behind a neon sign?
Dark walls make neon glow. Our Ebony wall is the strongest ground for illuminated signage, with deep greenery close behind. Against a pale wall a neon sign washes out, particularly in a well-lit room.
Do you produce corporate signage and logos?
Yes — logos, lock-ups and repeat patterns for step-and-repeat backdrops, produced in house and mounted into the wall. See step-and-repeat backdrops.
Need signage for your event?
Send us your wording, your date and where it needs to sit, and we will quote production and install.
