Rafael Rodriguez founded Uplight Miami in 2014 with a simple goal: make professional event equipment rental fast, easy, and turnkey. Over a decade later, Rafael and his team have become a trusted name in South Florida's event industry, delivering industry-standard lighting, A/V, staging, and rigging for everything from intimate private events to large-scale productions like Rolling Loud Miami. Rafael's approach blends technical precision with a hands-on, client-first mindset — whether it's 3D projection mapping for a brand launch or full production support for a festival, he's built Uplight Miami around one promise: show up prepared, and make it look effortless.
