Event Lighting Concepts did an absolutely amazing job for our Portland, Maine wedding. Our space was large and open, and we were nervous about how it would come together. Our breath was taken away when we walked in to see what they were able to do with the space. They knew exactly what they were doing and provided an excellent lighting setup for what we needed. The team was extremely easy to work with and we could not recommend them more!
ELC was amazing to work with! They were prompt and executed everything flawlessly on our wedding day. We used them for our tent and cocktail hour lighting. All the staff was kind and considerate during set up and breakdown.
Great to work with! They did a lovely job of lighting the barn for our wedding. There was a miscommunication the day before our event and they came right back up to make it right. Everyone loved what they did to make the barn warm, inviting, and well-lit!
Event Lighting Concepts created amazing lighting at our barn wedding. The design and execution was wonderful! The lighting they added created such a magical atmosphere to our event, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you so much! They were so easy to work with and were very helpful and responsive whenever we had any questions. We highly recommend Event Lighting Concepts!
We are so glad that we decided to go with ELC for our wedding. Our wedding was at Brick South in November, so we knew we were going to need some extra lighting to keep it from getting too dark. We didn't realize, however, what an essential part of our wedding's style the lighting would become. The lights that ELC provided were beautiful and were truly an integral part of our wedding's look and feel.
Heidi was also a total pleasure to work with. She was prompt and professional and always patient with our ever-changing ideas and requests. She helped us work within our budget to get the biggest "bang for our buck" in the large space we were in.
Heidi was amazing to work with and very prompt and responsive. She talked through small details with me to help determine the best lighting for our tent. We even had some custom tent lighting for our tent and it looked UNBELIEVABLE! ELC completely transformed our tent into a fairytale!
The company did a respectable job on the lighting they just neglected to provide the double valances that I contracted for. Instead they were single valances. The owner of the company assured me that there would be a refund for the valances but he never paid it. Given that I can not recommend this company.
I highly recommend Event Lighting Concepts for any of your event lighting needs. The team was extremely helpful and professional. Jon Roy was my point of contact and he helped a very indecisive bride like myself create the most beautiful wedding day I ever could have imagined. The communication between ELC and myself through the entire process was above and beyond amazing. If you have any lighting and DJ needs for your wedding look no further as you will be in the best hands. We used Nick Teti with Revolution DJ and he was also incredible. I keep saying that it is truly the people included in your day that make it so special, and I feel lucky and grateful to have worked with Event Lighting Concepts and our DJ Nick - they were truly awesome and made our day amazing. Thank you Jon, Nick and the entire team!
Jon was most helpful! Our ceremony and reception was awesome with the paper lanterns!
6/5 Stars for DJ Luke! We decided to use Luke after attending two previous weddings where he was the DJ. Just as in those two events, the evening couldn't have gone better, thanks in large part to Luke's DJ ability. He really understands the importance of getting everyone on the dance floor and knows how to keep them there all night. We couldn't recommend him enough. Everyone came up to us later in the night and on the next day and couldn't stop talking about how much fun the dancing was. All the credit to Luke!
Luke was our Emcee, DJ and Lighting vendor for our tented wedding. I was absolutely amazed with how the lights turned out. I trusted Luke to do what he thought was best and had no idea until the set up and was so pleased with what he came up with. The music was on point for both the older generation and the young. All our guests were out on the dance floor underneath the hanging Edison bulbs.
Luke and Jon were WONDERFUL from start to finish! They were recommended to us thru our caterer and graciously took on our wedding relatively late in the planning process. We will be forever grateful for bringing them on-board... Their vision & creativity is something to brag about...they truly brought out the beauty of our wedding venue beyond anything we had imagined. They were extremely professional and we would recommend them to anyone!
They were really able to work with me and understand my lighting vision for underneath a tent for my wedding
Fantastic job! Our venue was a large, industrial looking room in an old mill building. Event Lighting Concepts was able to turn it into beautiful, intimate space with their wonderful lighting.
ELC did a fantastic job of providing the lighting for our wedding. Communication was easy from the start, and Jon made himself accessible to make sure sure that all of our needs were met. The lighting was beautiful, and we received many compliments on the ambiance in the room. Thanks, ELC!
First of all, ELC was nothing but kind and accommodating throughout our wedding experience. We were married in a historic building in Portland, ME and ELC was able to beautifully enhance our space in a tactful and gorgeous way. We highly recommend them!
Working with Event Lighting Concepts was such a great experience. They knew exactly what my vision was and everything looked beautiful. We used uplighting and the string lights at our venue and it absolutely transformed the space. I checked in with them about a month before the wedding to make sure we were all set and then the day of they set up and everything looked just as I envisioned. They are certainly a vendor you don't have to worry about doing their job and creating a vision better than you even expected.
ELC negotiated a great price for our rustic, January wedding! They went above and beyond to accommodate us! They were quick, professional and prompt! And the lighting was beautiful!!!
Luke was the dj for our ceremony/reception. EVERYONE was on the dance floor at one point or another, which is exactly what we wanted! We couldn't have been happier with his service. By the end of the night we had so many compliments from our guests about what a great dj he is. There was even a minor hiccup when our photographer was looking for a ladder for a large group photo and was gone for awhile, and he managed it beautifilly by just transitioning into the next dance on the list and coming back to it when our photographer returned. He was so easy to work with through the process. Very responsive to emails and phone calls. He is open and honest about any weaknesses he has (if that's what you want to call it!) He had stated that he's not a country listener, so sometimes he doesn't know if a certain song is "dancy" or not as different brides/grooms have had differing opinions about what is "dancy" and what isn't. I sent him a list of country songs I like to dance to and he still had the floor hopping with a mix of country, top 40, 80s, etc. My new husband and I have agreed that he was by far the best choice we made during wedding planning (other than to marry each other!) ;) Our photographer even gave him a rave review saying that he was the best to work with from a vendor perspective.
ELC did the lighting for our reception, we were going for a rustic look in a hiking lodge and the bistro style lighting was perfect. Their reps came in and worked very independently, which was huge because we did most of the coordinating by ourselves and not having to interact much with them took a huge load off. Everything looked great and best of all, we had only paid for lighting on the second day of our event (the actual ceremony) but since their reps arrived the night before, they got the dining room lighted in time for the rehearsal/welcome dinner at no extra cost! It really saved us because we also didn't have enough time to put most of the decorations out the first night, but the lighting really made the room look perfect.
We used Event Lighting Concepts for our wedding in September at the Portland Company. They did an outstanding job! I will absolutely use them again for future events. Jon was easy to work with, professional, helpful with last minute changes, and worked within our budget. He gave us different options and made it easy to understand for someone who is not working in lighting every day. The final product looked exactly how I pictured it! Thank you for a job well done!
ELC was referred to us by Blue Elephant Catering and Events who handled most of our wedding and catering. We needed bistro lights for our reception, and they went above and beyond to make our vision a dream come true! We worked with Jon, who was professional, thorough, and a great guy to work with! THANK YOU ELC!
ELC did an amazing job at our wedding, were worked closely with Luke mostly. He did an amazing job making sure the vision I had imaganed came to life on our wedding day. It rained the three days leading up to the wedding and to completely change our layout with no problem at all, they were more than accommodating. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable we are so happy we invested in lighting it transformed our wedding from ordinary into extraordinary. Again thank you so much!!
ELC was very professional and timely when responding to requests. The set up was just as I imagined it would be for my special day. They went out of their way to be accommodating to our needs. They did such a great job!
Luke did an absolutely amazing job with not only the lighting but also as our DJ. I am obsessed with the lighting in all of our reception photos. We chose the black bistro lights which were strung across the entire reception space, they almost looked like they had always been there!
We cant thank Luke enough for making our space look beautiful and for getting all of our guests on the dance floor!
We had Jeff Erwin as our DJ who also works with Event Lighting Concepts and he did the up-lighting for our reception. It was incredibly beautiful! So tastefully done!!! And I was even shocked when later in the night, during the party time. Lights were placed under our sweetheart table that started going off and I didn't even know they were there! He was so creative with the placement. People commented to me so much how beautiful the room looked all because of the lighting. I am SO glad we did this!!!
Everything was perfect
Able to provide lighting fairly last minute at a reasonable value. They did a great job and exactly what we were hoping for. Easy to work with, extremely professional. Provided the perfect atmosphere for our reception!
