We hired The New England Holiday Light Company for our tented wedding at Aldworth Manor, and they exceeded our expectations! The team was professional, communicative, and made the entire process seamless. On our wedding day, the installation was flawless, and the lighting added a magical touch to our celebration.

New England Holiday Light Company was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! The sheer light curtain behind our sweetheart table transformed our wedding reception and truly made it magical. We also obtained traditional uplighting, and they were able to customize the color for us. Doran and Jeff were terrific to work with. We first met with Doran for a preliminary walkthrough prior to booking to show him our vision. On our wedding day, I ran into Jeff and was able to connect with him further. We cannot forget to mention Janice, who had exceptional communication with us along the way. I highly recommend utilizing Jeff and Doran’s team for your wedding day!

We hired this company for our Wedding and couldn't be happier. When my now wife suggested a lighting company for our backyard wedding I thought "Oh great more things to spend money on."
They were worth every single penny.
They came all the way to look at the property ahead of time, had great suggestions on what to light and how to light certain areas, and had a great selection of options for us. They really did tie the whole thing together in a way I can't explain without showing.
Special shoutout to Janice for being extremely responsive and always on top of everything we needed.

We had an incredible experience with the entire team at Premier Lighting who helped us make our wedding weekend as beautiful and cool as it could be. We had a “festival” wedding and we wanted to make the experience for our guests as whimsical as possible.
From the first call with Jeff, they asked lots of questions to understand our vision and goals for the weekend, to the install and take down of a multi-space event, we felt comfortable, supported, and like we were truly working as a team.
I cannot recommend them enough and the disco balls and paper lanterns are ALWAYS worth it.

NE Holiday lighting provided drapery, bistro lights, & uplighting for our wedding this January. They truly made our ceremony and reception space stunning. All communication was clear, efficient, and quick. Their team was helpful in answering questions and we also appreciated how much they were able to work with our venue to do set up & take down without putting additional stress on us. I would definitely recommend!

My wife and I got married in Goffstown, NH on 9/2/23 and we used the New England Holiday Light Company (NEHLC) for our lighting. From start to finish, we had a great experience with NEHLC. We took an introductory call with Jeff, one of the owners, during which he talked us through the options and sent us pictures of the options. Jeff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up taking a 2nd call with Jeff to help us finalize our choices before signing the contract with NEHLC. Once we were under contract, we mostly coordinated with Larissa, one of the project coordinators, leading up to the event. On the day of the event, the barrel bistro light set up in our cocktail hour area and the bistro lights in our reception tent both looked great. Overall, a very good experience with NEHLC and we would definitely recommend them to other couples!

New England Holiday Light Co. added the perfect touches to our wedding day. The staff was very knowledgeable and offered great reassurance throughout the whole process. Early on, Jeff took the time to meet with us at the venue and walk through the property to explain the different options and show where pieces could go to highlight key aspects of our venue. We were impressed with the final outcome and everything looked wonderful!

New England Holiday Lighting did an amazing job with the outdoor bistro lighting for my daughter’s wedding in August. Not only was the lighting beautiful and done exactly to our specifications but Jeff, and the team, were a pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond to all of our inquiries and worked closely with our wedding coordinator to make sure the outdoor lighting was perfect. The wedding was on top of a mountain and required that all equipment be brought up on a gondola which required extra effort. I would highly recommend New England Holiday lighting for any of your lighting needs.

We used NEHL to light our backyard wedding in June 2023 and we were so happy with the results. We had 5 trees wrapped with lights, bistro lighting over the dance floor, and some lighted pathways. Everything looked beautiful and really helped turn the yard into what felt like a real wedding venue. The owners were really responsive and always very helpful and kind. The crew installing everything was professional and took care to listen to where my mother in-law (the homeowner) wanted cords, etc to be placed.

We hired New England Holiday Light Company to provide lighting and drapery at our wedding in June 2023 at the Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain. It was easy to communicate with the team and they did a phenomenal job that exceeded our expectations. They definitely know what they are doing, with the bistro lights boxes, starry night twinkle lighting within the tent, drapery at the great pine and to top it off the coolest cherry tree. We are so fortunate to have been able to work with these guys and highly recommend them.

The New England Holiday Lighting Company are fantastic!

Everyone we dealt with at NE Holiday Lighting was wonderful to work with, quick to respond, and worked within our budget to come up with a lighting design that worked best for us. Highly recommend!

We used New England Holiday Lighting for our November 2022 wedding at The Preserve at Chocorua and their lighting design really helped to bring our wedding vision to life! Knowing that it was going to be dark shortly after 4pm on our wedding day, but wanting our guests to be able to experience all of the beautiful venue, we knew lighting design was going to be an important element to add. The team was super knowledgeable about our venue and helped us to come up with the best plan. We added bistro lighting over the dance floor, path lighting between all the cottages, and uplights in the trees and it truly created such a magical and romantic atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

These guys are the best! They made my venue look like an absolute fairytale. In the heart of the white mountains -the beautiful strand lights they used just looked absolutely amazing, I didnt even need a photo booth or back drop just the way they set up the walk way and lit up the tent at the Wentworth Inn was a back drop itself. Extremely responsive and so helpful with any questions we had. Thank you for creating such a magical day for us!

We had our wedding October 30, 2021. Jeff was exceptional. We spoke on the phone many times about specifics of the lighting. He came to venue to meet us prior to big day and even had alternate weather plans drawn up. Unfortunately, our day was very rainy and cold, we didn't end up using the lighting outside and Jeff made sure I had all the details I needed in order to make that last minute decision. Jeff and the entire NEHLC were incredible and the lighting was amazing! I would recommend this company over and over again! 10/10. THANK YOU NEHLC!!

The team at The New England Holiday Light Company was a pleasure to work with for our wedding at The Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain. We were late reaching out about specialty lighting for our tent, and Jeff immediately responded to our inquiry with details to fit us in quickly. He was informative and responsive, offering a variety of options to enhance the ambience of our venue. Setup and tear down were seamlessly handled by their crew, and the lighting in our tent provided the perfect dream-like atmosphere we were looking for. We and our guests loved dancing under the mini-lights and we are so happy we decided to work with this incredible team to make our day extra special.

Jeff and the entire NEHLC team were great to work with, and we're so glad we hired them for our camp wedding. Jeff worked with us at our site visit to explore all our options and share his professional recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. They have excellent communication and worked with our venue to schedule set-up and breakdown.
We worked with the team to light our outdoor cocktail hour, our main reception tent, as well as a large bistro and food truck area in front of our tent. It came together wonderfully! Their lighting projects added an incredible element to our outdoor wedding.
We could not recommend Jeff and the NEHLC team more highly. Thank you!

I used NE Holiday Lights at our wedding venue this past October. From my initial inquiry working with them was wonderful. I received a quick reply back and was able to meet with them at my venue to talk about different options. And the options were endless! We could be as conservative as we wanted or expand and get creative. And talking different plans out with them was so fun- they really get into making their lighting work for exactly what you envision. I’d seen their work done at other sites and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Prices were reasonable and they were super flexible. Not to mention worked quickly and the final products were fantastic. I would absolutely, highly recommend them if you’re looking to add a little something extra for your event!
