We had the privilege of scoring Duluth Event Lighting for our wedding day at the Atrium in Solon Springs, WI. Ken was so easy to talk to, and incredibly thorough. As the bride, I knew I was in good hands on my wedding day because I didn't have to give the lighting any second thought the entire day. Seriously, not a single person came up to me as I was getting ready to ask about lighting. They came in, did their thing, and came back at the end of the night for tear-down. The price couldn't have been beat for the service we were given.

Duluth event lighting is one of the most professional and proficient vendors in the Duluth area. They are prompt with communication and are knowledgeable about all the venues in Du...
luth and the surrounding area. You can tell they have been in business for a long time! I had one of the busiest wedding days of the year and Ken personally made sure that my lights were set up perfectly and even helped tweak the colors on the day of to match the space better. Lighting really is worth it for decor for your wedding and their prices are very reasonable in this inflated industry. I recommend them for any type of event you are throwing, they will make sure it is beautiful and glowing.

mantic dusty blue vision to life!! Communication was so wonderful. He followed up multiple times to make sure we were on the same page for uplighting color, and even sent me two different proofs once the color was set because he thought it needed adjustment, and it turned out even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. The lighting elevated the entire atmosphere and the whole venue was so dreamy thanks to Ken and his team. I cannot thank or recommend them enough!!

There are a number of options in the Twin Ports for lighting services for events and weddings, but we chose Duluth Event Lighting, due to the amount of care, detail, coordination, ...
and above all - affordability and quality Ken provides.
For any future individuals that are planning to get hitched, we highly recommend working with Duluth Event Lighting due to Ken's great pricing, easy going personality, and his experience in the industry!
With Ken's advice and guidance we were able to have an absolutely gorgeous wedding day. His variety of uplighting colors (we did a soft white and amber mix for our fall wedding and LOVED IT), as well as the chandeliers he has in his inventory, made our local county fair building come to life for our wedding reception!
Thanks Ken!
