How Far Ahead Should You Book a Drone Light Show?

How Far Ahead Should You Book a Drone Light Show?
Published on October 20, 2026

Have a date in mind for your drone light show? Reach out as soon as you can. More time gives us room to assess your venue, develop the design, and reserve drones for your event.

Here’s a simple guide to starting the conversation.

90 days ahead: Great timing

Reaching out around 90 days before your event gives us a strong starting point for planning, creative development, feedback, and drone reservations.

Some locations need longer, especially where additional permissions or coordination are required.

30 days ahead: Good timing

With 30 days to go, a show is still possible, depending on drone availability, your venue, the design, and any required approvals.

Send your date, exact location, and ideas right away so we can check what’s achievable.

14 days ahead: Pushing it—but ask anyway

At 14 days out, time is tight to design your show and reserve the drones. Venue requirements and approvals also need to fit the remaining schedule.

Still, reach out. There may be an option that works for your event—you won’t know until you ask.

What to send us

Help us check quickly by sharing:

  • Your event date and venue address.
  • Your show ideas and must-have elements.
  • Your approximate audience size.
  • Your working budget.

These timeframes are general planning guides. Every show depends on availability, venue suitability, and the required approvals.

Contact Starbound Labs to check your date, whether you’re planning months ahead or hoping to make something happen soon.
