Transformed our venue!

John Farr Lighting provided excellent lighting for our wedding at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Their lighting really transformed the space! Our venue recommended we hire John Farr due to their familiarity with the venue, and that definitely paid off. Planning with John Farr was easy - we emailed them our color scheme, had a few emails and a quick call to discuss, and then with how well they knew the venue, they executed it perfectly. Our venue looked beautiful from the pre-ceremony to the reception speeches to the end of the dance floor. The venue is a former torpedo factory that now holds artists’ studios, and the lighting allowed all that history to shine while also creating a beautiful, intimate, cool wedding vibe.

Perfect Lighting for our Wedding

We were married at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA. John was recommended to us by our venue due to his experience and familiarity with the unique space. John was a pleasure to work with, and his lighting design helped us customize the venue to make it really feel special. He and his team were highly professional, insightful, prompt, and efficient. We would definitely recommend John Farr based on our very positive experience.

great lighting

Beautiful lighting design. Our July 31, 2021 wedding was originally planned for May 30, 2020, and we postponed the wedding twice. Over the entire time we coordinated with John- over two years- he was super responsive, patient, and kind. John transformed our venue, the Torpedo Factory Art Center, into a beautiful and magical space for our wedding!

I love working with John Farr Lighting Design and his wonderful, professional staff. I have done amazing events with this company over the last several years..always with the ultimate results..but the best was the blizzard of February 2010....the entire Washington DC area was shut down, events were canceled EXCEPT my clients'! John's crew showed up and delivered an unbelievable light show! Talk about "the show must go on"....I am so grateful to John Farr Lighting Design.

You know all those pretty pictures of centerpieces that you've been drooling over for the past dozen months in all those bridal magazines? You want your arrangements to look as good in your photos, right? Then you need professional lighting at your event. This is where John Farr Lighting comes in. They will work with you to building a lighting scheme that works in your event space and within your budget. They will arrive on time and complete the job quickly, working in a compatible and respectful manner alongside all the other vendors who are also setting up in the room. They stick around to make sure that they don't miss any last minute changes that might effect the lighting set up. And they promptly break down at the end of the event. You can't ask for anything else! They offer great service and a great price. I'd recommend that you contact them about your event today!
