Stop scrolling. This is the vendor everyone deserves.
The atmosphere they helped create was nothing short of magical, and it truly elevated the entire event.
Their attention to detail and the energy you brought to the space made our special day even more memorable. The vibe was exactly what we had envisioned, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
And most definitely, need to call out the joy and great collaboration leading up to the big day. There is no question that they put in the hard work and dedication. We are so grateful for their contribution to making our wedding day perfect.

I knew from the reviews that Crimson Haze would nail the lighting for my wedding. I did not anticipate just how stunning their services would make my wedding look! From start to finish, Clea was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so kind, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure the lighting perfectly fit my vision. She helped to offer creative ideas and provide inspiration.
For the ceremony and dinner, we went with warm, soft lighting that created such a romantic and intimate atmosphere. When it came to the reception, Crimson Haze truly helped us transform the space into something magical—blue and purple party lights, disco balls, and a monogram projection that added the perfect touch of personalization. The lighting really set the mood and brought everything together in a way that was beyond what I could have imagined.
I honestly believe that without the lighting, the entire event wouldn’t have looked nearly as stunning. It truly made a difference in creating the perfect ambiance and taking our celebration to the next level. If you're looking for a team that's easy to work with, full of great ideas, and can make your vision come to life in a way that's breathtaking, I can’t recommend Crimson Haze enough. Thank you, Clea, and the whole team, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

Crimson Haze was recommended to us by both our venue team at Landmark and our planner, Jordan Hilbert. Lighting was a somewhat last minute add-on for our wedding but man are we glad we did it! Not only did our photographer really enjoy the added lighting in the space, but the cafe bistro lights made for such a cozy vibe. It really increased the ambiance on our big day which was really important to me. Clea and team were professional and prompt in communication, and our planner relayed that they were a joy to work with during setup & break down. They are very familiar with many venues in the Seattle area which made things very seamless. Would recommend for hire any day!

Clea and Clayton from Crimson Haze were so wonderful to work with. We had a vision to dance under twinkling disco balls and incorporate lots of fun lights in our wedding as a couple who loves going to concerts. We were deciding between a few different lighting companies but Crimson Haze had the best pricing, and from the beginning, they were the most responsive. Our DJ and venue highly recommended working with them since they are wonderful at collaborating with other vendors to bring your whole vision to life! We provided Pinterest photos of our vision and they were happy to install greenery in addition to the disco balls and even showed us a thorough floor plan of where the uplighting could go. We are so grateful and we highly recommend Crimson Haze!

Honestly, we hadn't planned on hiring for lighting; we didn’t think it was necessary and we thought that the venue was great as it was. But we happened to meet Clea at a vendor tour and we are SO GRATEFUL for that chance encounter. Having Crimson Haze light our event was one of the absolute best decisions that we made for our wedding party. It truly made such a huge impact on the event and the photos are magical! Not only did the lighting enhance everything, but working with Clea, Clayton, and Jamie was wonderful. They are professional, communicate well, and were willing to work with me on a few little extras last minute! They were so helpful, knowledgeable, and had brilliant ideas to create the event of my dreams. I highly recommend Crimson Haze.

Working with Clea and the Crimson Haze team was an absolute delight for our July 2023 wedding at the Fremont Foundry in Seattle. We gave them a vision of how we wanted the space to look and feel and the results were better than we'd even imagined! Throughout the process, they were very transparent on pricing, and helped us to prioritize what we wanted within our budget. As a bonus, we were also really happy with the level of communication, even during the busy wedding season. We'd highly recommend them for all future events!!

Working with Crimson Haze for our September 2023 wedding was amazing from start to finish! They were extremely responsive during our initial inquiries & transparent with pricing, which is a gift during wedding planning!
We began the process unclear on what we wanted for our event space, but their amazing knowledge about the space & patience as we explored options was so appreciated. The end result was a fantastic & memorable lighting package that truly set the mood for the wedding.
Without a doubt, we would highly recommend Crimson Haze to any other brides or grooms!

We recently got married at the Hall at Fauntleroy in West Seattle and I can't recommend Crimson Haze enough!! As an event planner, I know how crucial lighting is for setting the ambiance of a space. It was such a high priority for me that Crimson Haze was the first vendor I booked for my wedding! Clea is an absolute dream to work with and has years of knowledge to expertly guide you in the right direction.
My husband and I are both big foodies and wanted to accentuate the menu we selected. Adding pin spots to the buffet was a great way to (literally) highlight it!
We also planned to have colorful uplights around the Vashon Room –the dance party space– to add to the atmosphere. This worked out beautifully for several reasons. First, instead of getting married in the garden as originally planned, we had to make the switch to our rain plan and luckily it was in the Vashon Room which we already decorated with fun hues all around! Second, the dance party was WILD – I mean I have never seen a wedding dancefloor that packed for so long. The lighting truly helped set the mood!

We had an evening wedding in a glass-walled penthouse. I (the groom) had a strict “no flash photography” rule, and my bride had an equally strict “we must have beautiful wedding photos” policy. Our photographer suggested that we hire Crimson Haze to provide discreet spot lighting of key areas. Crimson Haze were incredible - they were easy to work with beforehand and completely invisible during the event. Everything worked perfectly and both the live event and the photos were stunningly beautiful - and I hate photos of me, so that’s really saying something! My wife and I would highly, highly recommend.

Warning - this is going to be a pretty long and very detailed review because I am a very detailed bride (lol). I am also a fellow wedding vendor. My husband and I run The Afterparty Band, a wedding and event show band in Seattle, WA. We actually had worked with Crimson Haze on a couple of events prior to our wedding and thought - wow, what a great couple who clearly know what they're doing and clearly really truly care about the outcome of every event they light. We saw them and chatted with them at multiple industry events. We've known about them for years. We had other people and vendors recommend them. So we chatted with them about our wedding, and from the very get-go, we knew they were genuinely excited, genuinely proud of their products and service, and they genuinely cared for us and our special day. Clea and Clayton are also a strong power couple husband and wife team, so we also had that special bond and connection with them. Let's hear it for the boutique family businesses! Clea was great at communication and responsiveness. She always provided links of examples, a thorough and clear proposal for our wedding lighting, and just had the utmost professionalism. She was also very grounded and understanding. We gave them some notes and feedback about what we wanted and didn't want, and they took those notes so well and gave us exactly what we wanted, AND MORE. We hired our band to play at our wedding (of course - lol), and we added on their Dynamic lighting package, and WOW. JUST WOW. It took our performance from, "great band," to "this is the second best thing to the Taylor Swift Concert happening a couple miles away." When they say Dynamic, they mean DYNAMIC. I can't explain exactly what they used, but it was SO COOL. It really turned the band's performance into a show. We had our own private theatrical concert. And we also added the dry ice fog "dancing on the clouds," which turned our first dance into a freaking magical fairytale dream come true. We didn't even realize in the moment how absolutely freaking awesome that looked. Seeing the pictures afterward made me cry. With the sun shining through the windows, it looked like an October morning in Eastern Washington on a farm when you get low fog with sunshine coming through, and you stop and go, "This must be the work of a loving God." You couldn't see the dance floor anymore. It literally looked like we were dancing on the clouds. No joke. It was flawless and definitely in the top 5 highlights from our entire wedding day. We added on a second fog for the very end of the night for the last song (it was "Time to Say Goodbye" into "Don't Stop Believing"), and with all the colors and it being nighttime, it was such a rad and totally different look and feel for the end of the night. The best part was I forgot that we added these fog moments on, and then they just happened right when they were supposed to, and I was surprised and delighted by it all. I highly highly recommend that add-on (do it twice, too!). Also, they hadn't done lighting at The Edgewater Hotel (our wedding venue) before, so they went there ahead of time to make sure they had everything they'd need. They came back with some suggestions and made everything look really great. With the very dramatic side lighting coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Olympic Ballroom, their lighting was SOOO important. We had actually done a wedding there two weeks prior to our wedding, and that couple did not hire a lighting company, and everything was drastically shadowed. You couldn't see anything, and it was very difficult for the photographer to capture everything without it being too dark or too bright. We had beautiful tables with records for chargers (it was obviously a very music-themed wedding - lol), candles, big flowers, signs, etc., and all of it would have been lost on the side opposite the light source. Instead, because of Crimson Haze and their expertise and the pin spots, you could see it all. Side note, you know you have an experienced professional vendor when you completely forget that they're there, but all these magical things are happening around you. That was Crimson Haze. We don't have a single complaint about them. Only things we loved. (And we can't say that about every vendor we hired). If it's in the budget to have some lighting at your wedding, do it and go with Crimson Haze. You won't be sorry or regretful. You will feel absolutely cared for and in good hands. They are one of those rare vendors (and I say this because we consider ourselves one of these rare vendors as well; after being in the business for a number of years, you just know) who go above and beyond for their clients. They keep their standards high, and they don't allow for any "oh well, it doesn't matter's." Have a consultation meeting with them. Just meet them. You'll see. They continually win awards for a reason (or several reasons, really). We hope to continue to work with them on future events and collaborate again soon to continue to go above and beyond for our clients. THANK YOU, CLEA AND CLAYTON!! YOU'RE THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST!!! :-D

Crimson Haze is the recommended vendor for my venue for string lights, and I'm so glad we went with them! They worked it out with my venue to prep and hang the lights before the venue start time, giving my florist and planner more time and space to prep for the big day. I really loved how the lights came out and added to the warm, soft vibe of my ceremony. Highly recommend!!!

We were married at Block41 in Belltown in October and wanted a moody, romantic vibe and to do things that have never been done at a wedding we've attended before. Clea & Clayton helped our vision come to life. Moments before I walked down the aisle, they plunged the room into darkness and as I appeared at the top of the aisle they shone a spotlight that followed me to the altar where another spotlight lit my husband. It was so gorgeous and beautiful. They also lit our string quartet, had spot lights on all the tables and uplighting throughout the room. In the basement we had a club vibe with lights that changed color and moved with the music. Check out their Instagram to see their work but they are truly unmatched at what they do.

If you are on the fence about upgrading your lighting for your wedding, then let me tell you to just do it! Better yet, do it with Crimson Haze. Clea is kind, professional, clear and incredibly amazing at everything she does! She was able to accommodate to our requests to set up a projector for a same-day-video edit created by our videographer that we showed during our reception for our guests. She also worked with my sister on a surprise video of my childhood and projected it beautifully even though the clips were pixilated due to being recorded and transferred multiple times over the past 20 years. The surprise video also included multiple snippets from family overseas that couldn't make it to the wedding and although they were all recorded on their phones and sent over a messaging app that resulted in worsened quality, her equipment and work made it so that everything showed up clear for the entire reception room to watch! She reminded me of small details that I missed and gave me insightful advice on how to set up the reception room so that I get the most out of the video projection. Now to the fun part.. the dancing and music! Due to getting the extra lighting, we were able to darken the entire room and have Crimson Haze's fun colors dance along to the beats of the DJ's audio which got our guests all the more reason to dance! Clea also worked alongside all my other vendors in a professional manner so that our one special day could be everything we dreamed of!! I really wish that I could attach videos on here to show just how much Crimson Haze's lighting and video projection added to our wedding experience.

Crimson Haze is truly the best event lighting company in the industry! My (now) husband and I hired Crimson Haze for our July 2022 wedding at AXIS Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle. From the beginning, Clea (the owner) was super kind, thoughtful, and helpful in describing the many wonderful services they have to offer and making suggestions on how we could have the biggest impact while staying within our budget. With Clea’s expertise, we decided on archway drapes, chandeliers, market lighting, pinspot lighting, and dynamic uplighting throughout the venue. We also added a special surprise during our mother/son dances - the dancing on the clouds dry ice effect! Leading up to the wedding, Clea worked with us to decide on dynamic lighting cues to make our venue come to life on our special day. And it sure did! From moody lighting upon guest arrival to rainbow uplighting during our recessional, and from blue uplighting and romantic twinkling lights (paired with the dancing on the clouds effect) during our mother/son dances to a vibrant, energetic, and lively dance party - Crimson Haze elevated our event to a whole new level! Finally, beyond providing lighting services, Clea and Clayton were so attentive, kindhearted, and thoughtful on our special day, which happened to be during a heat wave. Clea went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I stayed hydrated, cool, and had everything we needed. We highly recommend hiring Crimson Haze to bring your vision to life. You truly won’t be disappointed!

Highly recommend! I had an outdoor wedding and envisioned it being like an “outdoor garden party”. Clea and Clayton made that possible! I live out of state so had to plan virtually and Clea visited the venue months in advance with my coordinator to determine the best places for lighting. She was incredibly communicative and you can tell she really cares about making your vision come to life. On the actual wedding day, her and Clayton showed up on time to set up and it looked actually like what we discussed. I also don’t know pricing for lighting, but it seemed to be in line. They were a dream to work with!

Prior to experiencing the Crimson Haze lighting at a venue open house, we could not have imagined how special working with a professional lighting team could make an event feel.
The lighting truly elevated our wedding and made the space feel so much more festive. The opportunity to work with the Crimson Haze team and develop concepts for key moments of the night - first dance, parent dance, drag queen performance, toasts, dance party - was so much fun and the impact was huge. Big color shifts of lighting completely changed the energy throughout the night, and made for super fun and dynamic photos.
The crimson haze team was so positive and responsive, always answering all of our ideas and being welcoming of our insights while also providing expert recommendations. Their onsite presence was such a joy and experiencing their beautiful lighting schemes was brilliant.

We used Crimson Haze for our wedding and did both market lighting and archway draping--both looked gorgeous. They had a professional relationship with our venue (and likely others) so they were able to setup early and tear down late, which made things easier for our other vendors to navigate during setup. Clea was our point of contact and was consistently responsive, kind, and flexible during two covid-related postponements early in the pandemic. The lighting and archway drapes made a big impact and we were happy with the choice to put money toward it.

Clea and Clayton were fantastic and totally understanding and helpful through the stressful wedding planning process I went through as a bride. The compassion given to us because of our budgetary concerns that come with paying for our entire wedding ourselves, was what really helped us through. This husband and wife team truly went above and beyond. In hindsight, I wish I would have booked more services and special effects lighting, but we are so grateful for what Clea and Clayton at Crimson did to make our day special.

We worked directly with Clea to help us set up our lights for our wedding. It was so easy to work with her and I was able to reach her when I needed. She was able to make a quick last minute switch for us and we are so glad we worked with Crimson Haze for our wedding at Axis! Everyone told me and my wife that the lights looked amazing. Highly recommend!

Clea and Clayton at Crimson Haze made all my disco ball dreams come true with the installation they did for our reception. They were a delight to work with, super responsive, and flexible with our budget, coming up with a beautiful set up for lighting which worked SO well for our party - we loved it, the guests loved it, and it gave the ambiance we wanted! 10/10 would work with Crimson Haze again - can't wait to plan another event so that I can! Don't miss the chance to have this amazing crew give your party the best vibe too!

Clint and Clea of Crimson Haze really brought our venue to life with lighting for our ceremony and reception at Columbia Winery! Their expertise and professionalism made them a dream to work with, helping us find the perfect combination of uplights and pinspots to brighten (pun and no pun intended) our special day. Their dynamic lighting helped to completely transform our ceremony space for the reception, complimenting the music to really bring the party to life. If you are considering lighting for your big day, we could not recommend this team more highly!

We hadn't originally planned on any specialty lighting but are glad we ended up working with Crimson Haze for lighting. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the process and the pinspotting they provided enhanced our floral centerpieces and other displays. After all the time and money invested in the event this was the finishing touch to really show off all of the beautiful designs.

Crimson Haze is the lighting partner for our venue, Fremont Foundry, and they were great to work with! Because of COVID, we had to replan our event 3 times, and Clea did a wonderful job updating the plan for our lighting and slideshow each time! The event ended up being beautiful! We loved the little lanterns guiding the path up the stairs to the roof, and the lanterns decorating the tables. Thank you, Clea and Clayton!

We loved working with Crimson Haze for our wedding at the Fremont Foundry! Clea was always very responsive to emails, was on top of every little detail, and I loved that they were able to provide us with great example photos / videos of various lighting options and considerations. When we had our wedding rehearsal, my parents were apparently a little skeptical of how we would make the space look nice (I guess they aren't as into the industrial vibe as I am, hahah), but once they saw everything come together, they were really impressed... and in no small part thanks to the great lighting! We had ceremony lighting, dynamic string lights, dynamic dance floor, uplights, and pin spots. The dynamic lighting was definitely worth it, it was great seeing everything really come to life for dancing!

We recently worked with Crimson Haze for our October wedding at The 101. Although The 101 is a beautiful venue, it’s a blank canvas. Clea and Clayton worked with us every step of the way starting with different lighting options for pre ceremony drinks all though way through to the end of the night dancing, making it feel like a different experience as the night went on. We chose to use several uplights throughout the room against both walls and pillars. It was a show in its self watching different colors throughout different parts of the room, all complimenting each other. We truly can say without Crimson Haze the dynamic of our wedding wouldn’t have been the same. We highly recommend working with this team. If your event is big or small, their special touch truly makes the difference. We chose to stick to minimal decoration, with some beautiful flowers and Crimson Haze it’s all we needed. The team is friendly, very responsive, organized, true professionals and artistic genius’s.
Thank you Clea and Clayton for helping make our day beautiful and a day we won’t forget!

Working with Clea and Clayton from Crimson Haze was one of the best decisions we've ever made for our wedding. One of the first things we absolutely knew we wanted was a large disco ball installation with chandeliers. We worked with Clea and Clayton to try to see if it was possible to execute in our venue, which did not have any rigging points in the ceilings to support something like this. However, they were able to work with the venue to get them installed. We went through a couple different iterations of how the installation should look and Clea and Clayton were extremely attentive and brought back 3D models for us to review over email and to every meeting. As we iterated on the design, they were very quick to send over any changes to make sure we were aligned with the final vision. Once we finalized on the design, my husband and I just sat back and Clea and Clayton took care of everything around getting the rigging points installed and prepped for our wedding day. We also had a vision to have a surreal vibe and it was great and very fun to think through this process with them. They had so many different ideas and really brought our space to life with dynamic colored string lights that started off as a warm glow during the ceremony and then switched to different colors during dinner. They truly got all the vibes and feelings right on our wedding day.
On our actual wedding day with the disco ball installation, Clea and Clayton also knocked it out of the park by having disco ball lighting on our guests during cocktail hour and then really bringing the party with all the lighting on the dance floor. We had asked for a laser effect, similar to what you saw with disco shark in the yuma tent at coachella, and they delivered. The dance floor was insane and our guests said it was the most fun wedding they've ever attended. We are so lucky to have met Clea and Clayton. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and creative. Lastly, they are extremely kind and the greatest energies to be around. We cannot thank them enough for bringing our wedding day/night to life and even were very flexible when we had to move our wedding date twice due to covid. They work so hard for their clients and we highly recommend Crimson Haze for any lighting needs you may have.

Adding lighting to our event made all the difference — our wedding venue was a large, open canvas that would have been much too expensive to fully fill with flowers or other decor. Crimson Haze’s lighting, especially the uplights, gave the space character and warmth that saved us thousands in other decorations and looked awesome in photos. The change of lighting when the dancing picked up was the perfect thing to keep the party going.

Clea and Clayton are the ultimate professionals and added so much to our big day. They were flexible and had good suggestions about how to rein in costs, answered all of our questions, and provided beautiful lighting on our wedding day. Our wedding reception was at the Four Seasons Seattle and it involved several lighting changes - our big entrance, our vows, pin spotting for tables during dinner, lighting for toasts, first dance/dances with our mothers, and of course ongoing party lighting during the dance party! The uplighting was elegant and beautiful, the pin spots highlighted the table décor, and the fun multi-colored lights during our grand entrance and dance party really added to the ambiance. We'd highly recommend them!

Crimson Haze is amazing! Clea was extremely knowledgeable and I really appreciated her clear communication, quick responses, willingness to answer questions, and explanation of what she thought would look best in our venue. We opted for ceremony lighting, pinspotting, and a monogram, and thanks to Clea it was a stress-free process, and the results were beautiful. I highly recommend Crimson Haze!

Crimson Haze Lighting was recommended by our wedding planner, Jennifer Hoffman of Hoffwell Events. We could not have been happier as Clea and her team were able to highlight the incredible florals and backdrop by our florists (Delinger & Radovich). In addition, Crimson Haze was able to accentuate the amazing floral centerpieces that were displayed on our reception tables. My husband and I were so glad we opted to have additional lighting as Crimson Haze made our details stand out even further. Thank you so much!

We recently had our wedding at the Fremont Foundry and cannot express how much Crimson Haze Lighting's touch lifted the event. They have worked in the space before and provided a fantastic plan for how we should lighten up the space that complemented the look and feel as well. We worked exclusively with Clea from Crimson Haze and she was nothing short of fantastic in her planning, responsiveness, and care for our big day. Seeing the venue all lit up for the first time on the day of the wedding was unbelievable. We also decided to add a "dance time" touch for the lighting towards the end of the night and their staff was on-site to help make the transition seamless and so fun! I cannot stress how great of a company Crimson Haze was to work with and I would absolutely use them again.

We really enjoyed working with Crimson Haze. Their lighting expertise really elevated our space. We loved the cathedral lighting option and had many comments from guests how it looked beautiful and like there was actually a stained glass window! Guests who attended our wedding virtually thought we were in a church with the windows- it was so realistic. Our entire process was seamless and Clea was really responsive and friendly. Thank you Crimson Haze for making our wedding space look beautiful!

Well this is long overdue, my wife and I got married in 2019 and Crimson Haze Lighting did all of the lighting for our event from the ceremony through the reception, to say they were exceptional would be an understatement. From the first meeting we had with Clea we knew they were the ones for us. Clea’s level of attention to detail is second to nine and they’re experience and expertise made the entire process of planning the lighting for our event extremely easy.
To be honest the hardest part was deciding what NOT to use in our wedding. They had so many fun options and capabilities that everything seemed like it would be super fun. Working through the details of our wedding was super easy and a ton of fun.
On the day of the wedding is where they really set themselves apart. They were super accommodating to us, and paid attention to details that were not part of they’re responsibilities. Foe example, my now mother in law watched Clayton work with the venue when he realized that the chairs for our ceremony were not set up in a clean row. Minor details like that is what makes all the difference when looking back through your photos and we couldn’t appreciate what they did for us more.
We had pin lights during our ceremony, up lights, disco lights, and fog machine (highly recommended). I can’t tell you how many people commented on how fun the lighting was and it really made the entire experience all the more fun than it would have been.
If you’re in need of lighting you cannot go wrong with Crimson Haze Lighting and we could not recommend them more.

Crimson Haze provided the lighting for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results! We didn't know exactly what we wanted at the beginning, but Clea and Clayton explained our options and worked with us to design the lighting for our ceremony and reception, including lighting transitions cued by events during the ceremony. They also worked with us to quickly adjust the lighting during the reception when the party became more energetic than anticipated. We would absolutely choose Crimson Haze again and recommend them to others for their amazing work and results. Thank you again to Clea and Clayton for making our wedding more colorful and dynamic!

We hired Crimson Haze for our wedding last fall and were very happy with their services and collaboration! Clea and Clayton were such a pleasure to work with! From beginning to end, Clea and Clayton were professional, responsive, and flexible. They made time to join us during our venue walk-through and stayed engaged throughout the process. Whenever we had a question or concern, they were ready to assist. On the day of our wedding, they came prepared to deliver! Everything went as planned and we were just so happy with how the lighting and transitions turned out. Thank you, Clea and Clayton, for all your hard work! We definitely recommend Crimson Haze and look forward to booking them for our future events.

First of all, Clea was so easy to work with and I thank her for making the process easy! She was quick to respond to emails and calls, and she was always willing to answer my questions. Lighting can be underestimated at a wedding, but boy oh boy. Crimson Haze delivered! And honestly, our wedding would have had a different vibe without them. Clea walked me through the whole process of choosing lighting, and if I had something else in mind she was open to hearing me out. The detailed lighting really made our wedding a spectacular event that everyone still keeps talking about! Thank you, Crimson Haze!
