We’ll Take Care of Everything.

Here’s How It Works.

What's Included?

Every package includes:

  • A session to understand your goals for the event and the story you want your show to tell
  • A dedicated team member & FAA Part 107-certified pilot to oversee your event and preparation
  • FAA flight consultation and authorization
  • Launch site evaluation and show safeguards
  • Custom show design by professional show designers
  • Synchronization to a soundtrack of your choosing
  • Pricing ranges from $15,000 and up, depending on the scope of your event
  • Show insurance & Rain Dates
Pricing, Variables & Package Options:

Pricing comes down to zeroing in on your custom show:

  • Number of Drones: We start at 150 drones, but more drones means more detail and 3D imagery
  • Number of Shows: Lower your rate by flying two or more shows within a few days, same location
  • Customized show images: Chosen by you!
  • Travel: We're based in Wisconsin, but we bring our shows anywhere
  • For municipalities, sponsorships are great ways to offset show costs

Step 1: Show Planning

Initial Meeting

Let’s understand your needs, and answer your questions. Our goal is to tell your story in the sky and make your vision reality.

When you’re ready to move forward, let’s agree on a contract and show date.

 

Design Team Meeting

With the contract signed and the show date set, our design team will meet with you to build your show and start bringing your vision to life.

We have a dedicated team of designers experienced in creating stunning visuals.

 

Considerations

We can create the show you envision, or you can share your goals and any visuals you want to see, and we’ll bring them to life.

More drones means greater customization, more detail, and better 3D effect options.

We can help you with sponsors by putting their names in the sky.

 

Flight Clearances

Our head pilot coordinates flight clearances required by the FAA. We manage all flight restrictions and tricky airspace clearances, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Step 2: Storyboard & Soundscaping

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

Once the storyboard is finalized, we begin crafting a soundscape or track list to complement your show. At this stage, you can suggest specific songs or types of soundscapes you’d like to incorporate.

 

Preview Rendering

With the soundscape and drone show design aligned, we produce a preview rendering of the show. This preview provides the opportunity for you to share feedback and adjustments you’d like to make before the big day.

 

Our design team is available to answer any questions you may have & will provide an outline of the show/expectations.

Step 3: Final Preparation & Show Day

Finalize the Show

Once the show is finalized and all preparations are complete, our team performs a final quality control check to ensure all safety measures are in place and everything is ready for showtime. Then, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your own custom, spectacular light show!

Discover the Impact of Drone Count on Your Show.

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.

Expected Show Duration

Every drone show is designed around three key factors:

- Maximum flight time
- Launch & return time
- Available show content

Flight times vary based on temperature, venue type, and battery performance. These limits ensure adequate reserve power for a safe landing.

Northern Lights Drone Shows was absolutely fantastic to work with, and the show exceeded our expectations. Our fans loved every minute of it and would not stop talking about it as they left the ballpark. Don't think twice about making a decision. Northern Lights Drone Shows 10/10!

I wanted to send a personal ‘thank you’ for the time and creativity you put into a phenomenal display.

Looking forward to collaborating again soon with the goal of spreading joy to those who need it most!

Working with Northern Lights Drone Shows has been an amazing experience this year. The engineering behind the amazing drone syncretizing is outstanding. Their support and customer focus for my Veteran events has been exceptional and gone beyond my expectations. As a USMC veteran and Non-profit business owner, I highly recommend The Northern Lights Drone Show team for any event that will be enhanced by their 3D visual night sky storyies that will bring the WOW factor to the audience!!

Northern Lights put on an AMAZING drone show for our club (Tesla Owners Club of Michigan) annual summer meetup! This was paired with a synchronized Tesla light show which required Northern Lights and XLightShows.io to partner. It was perfectly executed on a gorgeous summer night. Such a great experience!
