Boston Event Lighting

every obstacle and made it happen. From our first interaction to the night of the wedding, they were friendly, helpful and very professional. With the disco balls and light show, our guests were on the Dance floor all night!

hallenging for clamps and they worked continuously around the roadblocks to make sure we got even beyond what we asked for. They’re professional, nice, on time and create fantastic designs!

were terrible at communicating through the entire process. Any question I had, I had to email them multiple times and it often still took them months to respond. I had to find a cellphone number and call them to figure out how to pay out final invoice. They were slow to set up which caused a lot of disruption with our first look and other vendors setting up. They dropped a ladder on our bar during set up and broke a case of glasses. And overall they were not considerate of us or our vendors. They were the only vendor we booked that we were disappointed it. The lighting looked beautiful in the end, but overall I would not recommend using them for your wedding lighting if you can find other options.

ough to when we owed them the final payment. While the lighting looked good, we were specific with how we wanted the lighting set up (included photos for the vendor of the set-up we wanted) and they did not do what we had asked. When we arrived to the reception, we realized it was not what we had asked of them, so that was disappointing, but not surprising with how bad they were with communicating.

Highly recommend!

Event Lighting ensured that our vision came to life and made all the lights used a yellow hue and dimmable. The turned out AMAZING and we were in awe as to the difference great lighting can make. They were extremely easy to work with and accommodating to our postponement as well, which we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend them!

ough. During the pandemic, he zoomed with my husband and I to get a in-depth idea of our vision. He shared images on his screen to showcase the work he had done and to walk us through how much we would need for the space/venue. He never tried to upsell us on anything and his pricing was very fair. $$$$ does not equate quality and I think the job they did at our wedding far outweighed what we could have paid for much more expensive companies. Paul was our day of lighting lead and did an excellent job with our vision. He was super professional and was on point with the timing of our indoor fireworks throughout the night.

well. Most importantly, the price was by far the most reasonable of all the vendors that I contacted.

great discounts which we really appreciated. When we decided against one of the services we booked, we called him and he walked us through our options for replacement. The lighting in our room looked amazing, we went with an auburn color. It was stunning. Thank you for all your help!!

much. The lanterns were somehow perfectly synced to the music and added to the vibes all night, making for the funnest dance floor and electric pictures. James and the team were also super easy to work with (even with changing dates, changing times, etc) - highly recommend 10/10,

the dance party.

pandemic so having all of our friends and families able to watch live from home was incredible. They were even able to set up a TV so we could interact with our zoom guests during our wedding. Incredible! Professional, responsive and just incredibly kind guys. The lighting was beautifully done as well. Special shout out to James who was so helpful and kind and very detail oriented. Our day wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without him!

d it flawlessly.

ote by far. The uplighting was a very important aspect of our wedding and James was very responsive to all of our inquiries leading up to the event. There are videos on the website to show all the different types of lights and colors available. James suggested using the programmable lights which change colors to the music. We weren’t sure exactly how that worked but trusted James and it turned out to be fantastic. I would highly recommend this company to any of my friends and family.

xpensive, highly competitive Boston Wedding market this was THE TEAM that was willing to work with us every step of the way. They offered many different options, bundling and offering expert advice until we arrived at a plan that was on point and on cost; they even accommodated last minute additions. When a close family member took ill and could not attend the wedding, we decided that we needed to add a video. Paul recommended Lenny who went way beyond expectations, delivering a show stopper same day montage at the reception. Boston Event and Lighting expertly filmed the ceremony in the challenging low lighting ambiance of the Planetarium at the Boston Museum of Science and the video and pictures worked out beautifully. I would highly recommend this vendor.

tely recommend them!

than we ever envisioned. We gave them full creative control over which angles to shoot, what colors and lights to use in the video, and what songs/shots were to be used in the final edited videos. They were spot-on! They even brought a drone camera to the shoot (which we didn't know about prior) to get some really creative shots. I will definitely use them again for other video projects in the future, and would encourage anyone else to do the same!

hots of our tent and the venue despite the weather. We just received our trailer video back and I could not be happier with it!! Fritz sent a first version that didn't include a piece of the ceremony I wanted and when I emailed him back asking to fit it in he responded right away "no problem" and had the updated video back to me within the hour. On top of the incredible video and fantastic 'customer service' Fritz was such a nice guy! Super friendly and happy throughout the day. I can’t thank BEL enough for the absolutely beautifullllll job they did. They captured every special moment and put together the trailer video in such a way that people keep telling me it feels like they were there when they watch it. It’s one thing to link clips together to music but they did it in a way that every single time I watch it I feel every emotion come flooding back. It’s so clear it was edited with perfect precision to match up parts of songs to perfectly timed events in the clips. Some of the ‘flash’ transitions that were put in timed with the music give me the chills. Fritz is truly an artist! Brides, Grooms, Wedding Planners - to anyone considering a videographer for your wedding...DO IT. Initially we weren't sure if we could fit it in our budget but we made it work and I am so so happy that we'll have this to remember our day by forever. Boston Event Lighting - Thank you, Thank you!

oor tent wedding and Paul sent me a price quote. I am newly engaged and don't know the Boston wedding market, so I wanted to get another quote to make sure that the price quote was fair. I was busy at work, so it took me some time to find another vendor with good reviews and a week later Paul called and asked if I was ready to book. I said not yet, as I needed to do more research and discuss with my family. He proceeded to tell me that the price was increasing by $500 in the next week and that I would need to book ASAP or pay the higher rate. I said that I was not ready to book ASAP, so we'd pass on Boston Event Lighting. At that point, Paul then said that we could possibly have an extended period before prices rose. I DID NOT appreciate being bullied into booking them, so I decided to not book them, even though my vendor was higher than their price quote. I know weddings are expensive, but I would never give Paul money (even if it is lower) for the way he treats his customers. I have also passed along this experience to my friends and family in the area that are newly engaged and planning their weddings.

good fit. We hired Paul and Fritz to do the drapes for the ceremony, lighting for the reception, and music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Here are the pros and cons. Overall + They delivered on most of my requests and were efficient and timely in their set up and breakdown. + The night flowed smoothly, despite having them take on many aspects of the wedding. - Some important details were overlooked. I sent two emails (one giving lighting and drapes instructions to Fritz and one giving music instructions to Paul) two weeks prior to the event with a detailed schedule of every task, so having these details overlooked was frustrating. I learned after the wedding that they prefer all the details to be provided through the DJ Intelligence website form (they provide a link) rather than through email. And that that was the reason why it was my fault that some of the details were overlooked. - They called me at 10pm the night before the wedding (at my rehearsal dinner) to figure out a lighting detail that I had provided in that email. Adding this lighting element would have added time to an already tight timeline, so it was scrapped. I was happy to talk through the details on any other day, but the day/night before was just too late. Ceremony Drapes: + Drapes were set up quickly and on time. + They were much taller than I had ordered, so I ended up getting a very good deal. Tip: Make sure to see the drapes in person before ordering. I had originally wanted to sheer drapes for a dreamy feel. Fritz suggested I use opaque drapes. I agreed without seeing them which was a mistake because the thick drapes made the ceremony space look like a giant photobooth. Ceremony Music: + Paul brought a second sound system for the ceremony space. I didn't know that we would need one, so I'm glad he caught that detail. He played the correct songs for the processionals and recessional. - He did not play our very special selection of songs for the prelude. And did not tell me that he would not be playing them. What he played instead sounded like cheesy elevator music. I am still disappointed with how our ceremony turned out. Reception Lighting: + Lighting schematic was set up as requested. The intelligent lights were a great add and made for an awesome dance party; we had four, one on each corner of the room. - I had asked for specific lighting behavior during the dances that was not addressed. We stopped the first dance twice while Fritz attempted to do what I had asked for. In the end, we had to scrap the idea because it was taking too long, didn’t look right, and the videographers were already set up for the lighting as is. Reception/Cocktail Hour Music: + Paul did a decent job as the emcee. The event went relatively smoothly. - There were a couple technical glitches where the space was completely quiet.

k like. Paul was extremely helpful the entire process and was very quick when communicating back. Our wedding look SPECTACULAR...everyone could not stop raving about how beautiful the lights made everything look. It really just brought the whole night together, the soft pink made everyone look gorgeous. My wish came true and I can't be more thankful for all of their hard work.

!! We chose Boston Event Lighting to set the tone for our tented Cape Cod wedding...we wanted fun & classy....we got all that & much more! The paper lanterns above the huge dance floor looked gorgeous....and then they surprised us with the amazing light show...they guests loved!!! To top it off Paul is also a DJ....a super awesome DJ...we had an amazing band (my Uncles band) and Paul also set up his DJ equipment and played alternating sets with the band....and they all worked together seemlessly! After the reception ended we all headed down to the beach for campfires and cocktails....it was very foggy so they brought some special lighting down to the beach....it looked AMAZING! Thank you so much Fritz & Paul for making our wedding so amazing!!!! Amanda & Mike

of the art but their expertise on getting the most out of their lighting is second to none. I feel they are the best lighting company out there, bar none, and will help make your event that much more special. bravo!

were a pleasure to work with and I am so happy that I chose them to work on my music demo. Feel free to see the finish product of their work on my website. Steve Camarda www.brandbyandmusic.com

an amazing ambiance. We got so many compliments from our guests. To top it off Paul was our DJ and we danced the night away. I highly recommend Fritz and Paul and their company Boston Event Lighting. They are a classy duo.

oors). I did not know what to expect because we actually did not plan to have lighting at our wedding; but I have so glad we decided to have uplighting at our wedding! It adds a component of elegance that is lost without uplighting. Working with Paul and Fritz was easy and straightforward. They were responsive by email and also professional. Thanks guys!!

ay of our wedding started out raining and there was another event ahead of ours not giving Paul, Fritz and team much time to prepare, along with dealing with Mother Nature. Thankfully, the weather cooperated at the last minute and Paul, Fritz and team pulled off an amazing job lighting the beach area is exactly they way I had envisioned. The nice thing about working with this team is you just have to give them an idea and then let them run with it, they are that good and creative. Once the ceremony was over there was little time to set up the reception, but Paul, Fritz and team pulled it off seamlessly and once again amazingly, incorporating all the colors the bride was expecting. We also used Paul for the sound & entertainment and he is an awesome DJ. He kept the night moving and accomodated every wish. We also used Boston Lighting for our Wedding film and from the little I have seen so far, I am expecting to blown away by the final product. Paul, Fritz and everyone on their team were easy to work with and took all the stress of an event like a wedding out of the picture. I would highly recommend Boston Event Lighting for ANY event - Large or Small, as they will treat you like you are their only customer.

stic but I was also so impressed by their responsiveness, communication and attention to detail. I could not recommend them more highly.

vent (not a wedding) and they were amazing. They really care about the event and making it look perfect. They go above and beyond to understand your needs. The most important thing for a vendor is that they take pride in what they do - these guys do and it shows in their work. The day of my event I needed a few extra uplights and they brought them in without question. Little details like that made them a joy to work with.

wn wedding, they were the first vendor I called to be a part of my big day. They go above and beyond my expectations for every event and I look forward to working with them for many years to come. Simply the best!

ortantly transformed the space into a party. Paul's candor and non-pressure style is a breath of fresh air. The professionalism of the company was impressive. Lighting done right makes or breaks a party.

hired Boston Events Lighting to illuminate my wedding tent and venue. However, I can now say it worth every single penny - evidenced by the fact that my father, who thought it was a silly expense, pulled me aside at the wedding to tell me the amber lights made everything look magical. Working with Boston Events Lighting was a pleasure from the get go - Paul really took the time to explain about the different types of lights and how they work and he really went above and beyond to work within my budget. He was so friendly and made me feel like I was the only bride he was dealing with (certainly not true but very appreciated). The day of the wedding he arrived in plenty of time to set up the lights (which I really appreciated since our timeline was tight!) and we got to chat for bit - he is really friendly and made sure we liked how the lights were set up and was more than willing to move a few around until we thought they were perfect. I would absolutely, without hesitation, not only hire Boston Events Lighting again, but I look forward to recommending them to friends in the future.

asy to work with!

ng into and on the day of our wedding! First he provided the uplighting, draping and globe lights to decorate the beautiful rooftop of the Taj Boston Hotel. Using soft purple uplights, they gave the room a beautiful glow that really achieved the intimate feel we were going for. The draping/globe lights over the dance floor were exactly what I imagined and the icing on the "decor" cake was that they made sure to get a handmade chandelier (made out of crystals from my Grandma's chandelier which was her Mom's originally). When I walked in the room my eyes were drawn to the chandelier and it filled my heart with such joy to see it up there. They were a bit unsure in the days before if they could hang it or not but ultimately I think it was realized how much it meant to me and they made it happen! Beyond this Paul was our DJ and we had an added drummer and sax player to emphasize the music. I don't think Paul and Boston Event Lighting advertise this service enough because I found out about it randomly at the last minute when I happened to be late night searching through their website and stumbled upon a video and emailed Paul asking what it was all about. Our guests were BLOWN AWAY! The music was perfection and the added affect of the drums and sax was basically phenomenal! Family and friends are still raving about how great the music was. All my family (even all the men) were dancing with their wives all night long. Honestly it's such a hard decision to choose between spending a fortune (in Boston) for a live band or saving a little bit of money and getting a DJ .. Paul can offer you the best of both worlds for a fabulous price that will give you room in your budget for a few more of the little things you really want. I couldn't have been a happier bride!!

ve... I throw a lot of big parties throughout the year.. and I am super picky about every minute detail. I cannot recommend me these guys enough. Fritz is the man... Look no further, I know this is a special day for you people, I can appreciate that.. this is exactly why I wrote this review! BOSTON EVENT LIGHTING are the party and light experts!

e, and arriving a day early to install certain equipment. The lighting help set the mood of the wedding, reception and party. All that I could ask for. Father of the Bride

ry and elegance of site. They were very easy to work with and everything came out exactly as we planned. Their work really did make a difference in our reception and I would recommend them to anyone looking to take their reception up a notch!

ofessional and great to work with leading up to the event!

g surprise for my sister. Even though we had only a few weeks to the wedding, they were extremely helpful and jumped right on board. I got to work with the amazing Stephanie Chubbuck who transformed my ideas and vision into an amazing masterpiece. I was truly speechless when I walked into the reception at the wedding. I was impressed with the work ethic and time that Paul, Stephanie and the rest of their team put into making my vision a reality. The lighting of the hall set a beautiful ambience to the evening. The wedding Chuppa (throne) was ethereal! I loved the all the details that were put into making it amazing. From the right placement of the pin lighting and uplighting, to the pearls and drapes used in making the throne. It was magnificent. My sister was blown away and moved to tears when she saw it. She told me that once she walked in and saw how romantic everything looked, she could not believe it was her wedding. She felt like a princess. A lot of my friends and guests at the wedding were blown away with how the hall looked, they loved the romantic feel and lighting used in the hall. Boston Event Lighting did an amazing job! They made what I thought was impossible, possible. I am truly grateful to Stephanie, Paul Bosch and the rest of the team at Boston Event Lighting for captivating my vision. My entire family had been looking forward to my sisters wedding and Paul and his team truly made her wedding a night to remember.

d exactly what we were looking for for our wedding! Guests at the wedding and reception had a blast. The lighting created such a memorable atmosphere. I highly recommend Boston Event Lighting!

our guests can't stop talking about how amazing our space looked and our pictures turned out absolutely stunning with the lights. If you're on the fence about adding uplights, you won't be disappointed if you hire Boston Event Lighting!

out all the lovely flowers and unique decor ideas I had with the lighting. He offered me free centerpiece lighting with the package I got with him. He is patient and very flexible. I don't regret one bit having worked with them!

sure we even needed one. Hiring the Bosch Brothers was the best decision I could have made, they really made the wedding and couldn't have been more helpful in assisting with various other things (setting up fans in our venue when the A/C went out). I even received a few minute clip of the ceremony setup the very next day! I can't wait to see the final video, I know it will be nothing short of exceptional.
