Build Your Custom Drone Light Show
Every event is different, and every drone light show should be too. Our team works with you from the first conversation through show day to design a custom aerial performance that fits your event, audience, and goals. We manage the planning, creative design, FAA coordination, and flight operations so you can focus on your event.
Choosing the Right Number of Drones
Curious about how the number of drones affects the visual impact of your show? We offer customized renderings for shows with different drone counts to help you envision the possibilities. Whether you're looking for a dynamic, high-impact performance or something more intimate, our shows are scalable to meet your needs.

Ideal for smaller community events, private celebrations, and brand activations.

300 drones
Best for festivals, major public events, sporting events, and large corporate productions where maximum visual impact is desired.

Airspace review and coordination of required FAA approvals for the proposed operation

How Much Does a Drone Light Show Cost?
Every Orion Skys show is custom quoted. Share your event date, venue and target budget so we can recommend a suitable scope.
What changes the price?
Drone count: Shows start at 100 drones and can scale to 1,000+, subject to creative goals, venue and operational requirements.
Creative scope: Logos, animation detail, music coordination and the planned performance.
Date and location: Holiday demand, crew availability, travel and site logistics.
Number of performances: Confirm how many shows and event days your quote covers.
Compare the complete production
When comparing proposals, check the drone count, planned duration, creative inclusions, revision process, travel, music arrangements and event-day staffing. Ask how weather postponement, cancellation, rescheduling, payment timing and organizer responsibilities are handled in your agreement.
For a holiday event, ask about availability for both your preferred date and any flexible alternatives. For a municipal or sponsored event, share the budget approval deadline and sponsor-logo requirements early.
Not sure how many drones you need? Describe the main images, words or logos you want the audience to see. We can discuss an appropriate scope rather than asking you to choose a fleet size first.
Review actual show footage and our site-planning requirements, then request a tailored drone show quote.
Blend custom visuals, themes, and
music into your custom drone show.
Every drone show we create is a unique masterpiece, crafted in collaboration with
you to perfectly match the theme and vibe of any occasion.

Creating a Storyboard
Based on our concept meeting, our team creates a storyboard outlining the show's moment-to-moment progression. This storyboard is sent to you for feedback, allowing you to guide the imagery and pacing.
Developing the Soundtrack
Simultaneously, we begin crafting a soundscape or track list to accompany your show. Once the storyboard is set, you can suggest specific songs or types of soundscapes you prefer for the show.
Preview Rendering
With the soundscape and drone show design aligned, we produce a preview rendering of the show. This gives you the opportunity to share feedback and adjustments before the big day.

-
Yes. Send the location you are considering and tell us whether it is confirmed. We can start the conversation, but a date or city alone does not establish that a show can proceed. We review the exact site, launch space, audience separation, viewing direction and applicable flight requirements before confirming feasibility.
-
Custom logos, messages and themed imagery can be considered during creative planning. Send sponsor artwork and approval requirements with your event brief so we can discuss the design and an appropriate drone count. Confirm the creative approval schedule during contracting; late artwork may affect production.
-
Discuss weather decisions, venue changes and rescheduling or cancellation terms before signing. Drone shows depend on acceptable operating conditions and a suitable site. Your contract should explain how these decisions are handled for your event; requesting a quote does not guarantee that a performance will be possible in every condition.
