Thank you to Mark and the ULS team! The lighting they set up was the cherry on top for our space. We had string lights over the tables and a disco ball for the dance floor - both really helped set the tone and made the space both elegant and fun. We were really pleased and recommend them for any party!
Working with Mark was seamlessly! He was so helpful and was able to make our vision to life!
Although we had some difficulty with initial communication, ULS ultimately came through and the space looked gorgeous. The prices were reasonable. ULS communicated well with our video technician and responded to any questions he had. We would gladly hire them again for another event.
Mark at Universal Light and Sound was a breeze to work with and they did a fantastic job at lighting my wedding at The Foundry. In the planning process they were prepared with lots of examples of all of the different options and Mark was very responsive in answering questions. It looked exactly as I imagined on the big day!
Universal Light and Sound were flexible and easy to work with. We opted for a series of string lights and mirror ball, which looked incredible in our ceremony space and perfectly set the tone for our dance floor. The team was very diligent in the setup and breakdown.
We used ULS for our wedding lighting last week and they are the BEST. Look no further for your lighting needs. From the first email, they were helpful, flexible, and organized. Setup and breakdown was smooth and our space looked incredible. Thank you Mark and everyone at ULS!!!
Universal Light and Sound setup our string lights so quickly. They were in and out of the venue, worked seamlessly with my planner, and the lights really made the ambience beautiful. I would highly recommend working with them and their prices are super reasonable for a NY based lighting company.
Mark and his team did a fantastic job with the lightning needs for our wedding. We got bistro lights inside and outside, along with paper lanterns to go with the indoor lighting, which added so much to the visual aesthetics of the space. Thank you ULS for making our special day unforgettable!
Mark and his team at ULS were fantastic to work with from beginning to end! Their lighting made The Foundry look wonderful! Don’t hesitate to contact Mark for anything you may need!
Professional, helpful people, beautiful work. My daughter's wedding venue was made magical by Universal's lighting. Highly recommended!
Mark and his team did such an incredible job lighting our wedding. We last minute had to change to the bigger venue due to weather and they were able to double our package and make the big space look as though we were always supposed to be there. They were so kind, accommodating and attentive all throughout our process. I can't recommend them enough.
Mark and his team at Universal Light and Sound were excellent to work with. The room at Greenpoint Loft looked incredibly warm and romantic with the string lighting and various other lighting we chose to go with- all in thanks to Mark and his ideas and assistance! The combination of lighting both in the main venue and on the terrace totally added to the feeling of the room. The whole vibe would have been missed if we had not invested into lighting- I would definitely recommend it to future couples that want to elevate the feel of their wedding to the next level. Thanks again to Mark and the whole team! The whole process of working with ULS was easy and required little work on our end, which was always appreciated! Totally recommend!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ULS is all you need for your wedding day lighting. Not only were they extremely easy to work with, but they were incredibly responsive, flexible, and professional every step of the way. They are everything you could want from a lighting company and more. The lighting at my wedding was perfection, all thanks to ULS.
They delivered indoor and outdoor lighting for my wedding and were fantastic!! Seamless ordering, seamless delivery, and seamless pick up. 1000% recommend this company!
We absolutely loved working with ULS for our wedding! From the very start Mark was super helpful, he clearly understood and had worked many times at our space before so the process was swift and easy. He gave us all different decor options with transparent pricing points and ensured that all things ran smoothly leading up to the wedding. We absolutely love how they used their lights and sheer curtains to make our venue look extra beautiful. There were no blips or problems while working with ULS-- we would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Mark and his team were excellent. We used him for string lights for my wedding at Houston Hall and he exceeded all expectations. Very professional and delivered on every level. Highly recommend!
We worked with Mark for our postponed wedding and it was a great experience! He was great with quickly putting quotes together and helping us build a great ambience for our event to transition from ceremony to reception. I highly recommend working with them!
Highly recommend! The lighting complements Dumbo Loft perfectly. Worth every penny!! Communication was easy and they were so accommodating when needing to reschedule due to the pandemic.
USL was the preferred lighting vendor for our venue and they were a pleasure to work with. We selected a package based on our venue and their team handled the rest. They were on time for both installation and break down. Their lights were just what the room needed to feel special.
Mark and the team were great for our event. The lighting design was first rate and really added to our event. The team at Universal Light and Sound were real pro's and were communicative and accommodating throughout our whole wedding event. Would definitely recommend their services. Thanks! Jeff and Mel
They did a fantastic job with the lighting! Everything was set up on time and looked exactly as described. We used them for lighting at the Greenpoint loft. It seems they know the space extremely well, so would 100% go with them again
Mark was awesome ! Very helpful! On time and the lights were great!!
They were amazing- they really made the room at the Bryant Park Grill sparkle!
Used them for a disco ball for our wedding dance floor and it game out great! Really impressed with the way it transformed the room, and the set-up and breakdown went seamless. Thank you!
I used Universal Light and Sound for the lighting at my wedding and I could not have been happier! Mark was so responsive, flexible with COVID changes, and easy to work with. My guests were blown away by my decor, and so much of the look was due to Universal! I could not recommend them more!!!
This company was very easy to work with. They were able to get back to us very quickly to answer our questions. And the day of the event went very smoothly.
We used Universal Light and Sound for our wedding in October at the Prospect Park Picnic House and the beautiful string lights that they hung from the ceiling for us truly added to the magic of the evening. Mark was a pleasure to work with, super communicative and a great team! We didn’t have to worry about a thing!
ULS was recommended to us by The Green Building for adding some extra lighting. Mark was easy to communicate with, even during the COVID postponement process, and was so thorough I knew it was one less thing I had to worry about on the big day. He designed the lighting exactly as I had explained. Highly recommend!
Super easy to work with and the lighting looked absolutely beautiful!
Mark was great. He was easy to work with, and his prices were very reasonable. We went back and forth a few times on what we wanted lighting-wise, and he was very patient. He toured the venue a month before our wedding in-person and helped tailor a lighting plan to our needs. Would definitely recommend him!
Universal Light & Sound were professional, easy to work with and provided beautiful curtains and lights for our ceremony. They arrived on time and cleaned everything from our space. When I inquired Mark J. responded with information, different styles of curtains and quotes very quickly. All interactions were very helpful and fast! The curtains and lights made the venue look even more beautiful and I am so happy with the services provided by Universal Light & Sound for my wedding at 26 Bridge.
We were so happy with the lighting at our venue! It was romantic and elegant. It was so affordable and easy to set up services with ULS. I can't recommend them enough!
It was a pleasure woking with Mark and his team. They provided suspended cafe lights outside for our cocktail hour and reception. It was exactly what we wanted. We would definitely recommend them as they were professional from start to finish!
Mark was so responsive and flexible during the whole process. He answered all my questions and made sure to suggest what would look best for our venue/purpose. Pleasure to work with.
Mark was great to work with! I had an idea of what lighting I was looking for and he was able to quickly get back to me with exactly what I needed. The day of delivery and set up were seamless, and the lights looked beautiful. Highly recommend working with them!
Mark from ULS-NYC was a pleasure to work with. Quick email replies, excellent service; our guests described the lighting as "dining under the stars." Highly recommended.
Mark was so courteous and professional, came to a walkthrough of our venue with us and gave us so many new ideas. He wasn't afraid to hold back from trying different things but guaranteeing he could get the job done no matter what. When we walked into our venue it was PERFECT. Highly recommend using him for your entire day!
It was great working with Mark! Everything ran very smoothly and he installed the most perfect lights at our wedding venue in Brooklyn which elevated the whole space and gave it an intimate glow. Highly recommended!
The universal light team was the best! They were prompt on all communication leading up to the wedding. Provided us with tons of options for our wedding day at 26 Bridge. Everyone kept commenting about how beautiful the lights were!
Mark was very easy to work with and responsive with emails. He provided a detailed quote and provided suggestions on what fit our wedding best. They were setup on time and the lighting was beautiful.
We had a great experience working with Mark and the team at Universal Light and Sound. They were communicative and professional, and the lights looked amazing. We appreciated that they knew the space so well (DUMOB Loft) and could provide guidance on what lighting would work best for the vibe we wanted to achieve. Nearly every guest commented on the fairy lights above us and that's not something people notice (lighting) at a wedding.
Working with Mark was super easy! I used them to hang string lights at the Brooklyn Winery. In fact, they are the ONLY lighting vendor they allow to hang lights in their space, so luckily Mark also turned out to be an amazing vendor. Their pricing is extremely fair, and is all inclusive. No extra set up or labor fees hidden anywhere. I never actually interacted with anyone in person, and everything went smoothly. Set up was on time and with no issues. Our guests kept commenting on how magical the space looked with the lights! If I ever have another event, I would definitely use them again!
The dinner portion of our reception was in a large, clear tent. We hired Universal Light & Sound to install string lighting throughout the tent to create a softly light ambiance. Mark was a pleasure to work with and created a beautiful tent of light for our reception.
We used ULS for our 11/4 wedding at Dumbo Loft and the process from hiring to our wedding day was seamless. Mark was attentive to emails and the prices were extremely reasonable. As ULS was a recommended vendor of our venue group, they already had a sample floor plan for the space which was helpful in envisioning the day. We went with uplighting, string lights, and ceremony drapes and were very pleased with how everything came together. On the day of the wedding the company arrived earlier than the quoted time frame and as per my DOC set up quickly and professionally. The venue is beautiful on its own but the warmth of the string and uplighting really took it to another level, and we were very glad we opted to have them. At the end of the night they came back to retrieve their equipment after guests had left. Overall we had no issues and we appreciated how easy Mark and his company made the lighting situation for us!
We had a great experience with ULS! They gave us a great price for uplighting, everything was done perfectly and looked great! We didn't plan to hire a lighting vendor until the last minute because our venue already had great lighting. We were worried they wouldn't be able to accommodate us but they were great and easy to work with.
My wife and I used Universal Light and Sound for string lighting for our wedding at the Foundry. They were very easy to work with, and their lighting was great. When we made a small adjustment to our wedding schedule for it to end a half hour later they had no problems with that and easily adjusted their pickup time for us. They have a wide range of string lighting options, too.
We hired Universal Light & Sound for additional string lighting & pendant lamps in our beautiful venue, The Green Building. They were super easy to work with, reasonably priced (for Brooklyn pricing), and punctual. Absolutely beautiful lighting. Would hire again!!
Wonderful to work with Mark. He was so accommodating of all my change requests as our needs changed throughout the planning process! It was affordable and it was set up exactly how I wanted in the end. We had string lights, uplights, and drapes through them and it MADE the space! Mark's communication was quick and reliable. It was a great experience!
ULS did a great job setting up sound equipment and lighting for my wedding at the W Loft in Brooklyn. They were easy to communicate with and they set up speakers and a sounds system, plus uplights and string lights, all on the day of the wedding. They're able to do day-of drop off and pick up, which is handy for loft venues! The equipment worked well and they even gave us a discounted rate for paying in cash. Highly recommended!
They tailor our event exactly the way we want it. The moment of revelation to our cocktail, dinner and dance space was absolutely outstanding. A true company that delivers on their services
Mark was very easy and pleasant to work with. The price was also very affordable. He bounced some good ideas and the wedding ended up looking beautiful thanks to him!
The lighting packages on their website were very easy to choose from thanks to many photos and clear pricing points. Mark and his team were quick to respond to my questions, got us a quote quickly, and also made corrections to our contract when we asked. On the day of the wedding, they quickly set up and checked in with us to make sure everything was to our liking. Highly recommend!
I can't tell you how lucky we were that our planner used ULS lighting!! They were so flexible in setting up lighting at a venue that was trying to force us to use a different lighting company (that was also 4x the price). They showed up as a part of the band, set up, and broke down. Thank you for helping us have amazing lighting that enhance our venue and band!! Wouldn't have been the same without you!
I got married at the Foundry in LIC Aug. 27th, 2016. We were debating if we needed lighting and after talking to our florist she suggested it especially since part of the reception was under a tent. Within minutes of emailing Mark at Universal Lighting we were sold. He's super helpful, gave great suggestions on what he recommended would look best, and told us what he didn't think we needed. Mark worked within our budget and did a fabulous job! The pin spot lights we did in the tent really accented our centerpieces and the string lighting in the main room gave the room a warm feeling. I 100% recommend Universal Light and Sound Equipment Rentals!!!
Universal Light and Sound NYC did a beautiful job lighting our wedding at Brooklyn Winery. They were affordable, on time, and made the place shine. We paid for string lights in the bar/dance floor area and they had another wedding the day after ours in the same space, so they offered us a bunch of string lights in the dining room for free! That's the kind of surprise you want to have on your wedding day. Very professional and they made the place look gorgeous. Definitely recommend.
Mark was great!! He did lighting for my 10.10.2015 wedding at The Foundry in NYC. He has worked at the venue many times prior and was able to accomplish my requests. He created a lighting fixture as people entered the venue, a lighting backdrop for the alter, and chandeliers for the outdoor dining space. The extra touches he added made the day stunning. Everything worked without any issues. Thanks Mark!!
ULS-NYC provided string lights for our reception and chandeliers for our dinner space. Mark was super easy to work with, promptly answering our questions and providing clear responses. I highly recommend ULS-NYC.
Mark at ULS was very helpful in many ways. He helped us to figure out what sound system would be best for our wedding and gave us options within those parameters. We had several back & forths trying to make decisions, and he was patient and always courteous. He offered an unsolicited discount connected with the space we were using.
The equipment itself was really nice. And the set-up went off without a hitch. Highly recommended!
