    Amazing lighting! Great crew!

    Shindig Lighting provided the lighting for my wedding which was at my parent's house. They did an unbelievable job. Their crew was so friendly and professional and the lighting looked absolutely amazing! They required almost no guidance but new exactly what to do to light the inside of the tent and the property. I was so impressed and would definitely highly recommend them! Dan is delightful and having him around as we were getting set up helped keep everything (and us!) calm! I honestly didn't understand how important lighting was in planning in planning a wedding but it made SUCH an impact!

    We hired Shindig lighting to do our interior and exterior lights for our July wedding at The Wadsworth Mansion. Dan and his team knew the venue inside and out and knew exactly what we needed to bring it to life. As planning got underway, we also tapped Dan for a stage and sound for our live music, and for gorgeous dance floor decals. His work was awesome, and he had a pre-existing relationship with our wedding planners at Amy Champagne Events that made the production end come together beautifully. I'd highly recommend this vendor - responsive, resourceful and reasonably priced.

    We are so glad we added Shindig Lighting as one our vendors for the uplighting!! It gave the room such an elegant and warm glow like only Dan at Shindig can do. It was beyond perfect!! We even had him do uplighting for our ceremony and it created such a romantic glow that was priceless! Dan was so easy to work with and extremely professional!

    Thank you so much Dan for helping make our wedding day look beyond gorgeous!

    Warm regards,
    Jennifer and James

    My husband and I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and your team at Shin Dig Lighting for a P.H.E.N.O.M.E.N.A.L lighting experience. We were blown away by the beautiful ambiance, from the playful undertable lighting to the tres chic ceiling lighting. You really captured our style: modern urbanscape. thank you. We were so glad to invest in lighting over traditional table flowers. My husband is a hard guy to impress and you really blew him away.

    The kids corner- holy smokes! It was one of the most talked about feature at the reception, especially by our friends with kids. The white drapery and matching couches and decor were fun without veering into kiddy decor territory.

    Thanks also for your uber professionalism, coordinating with the photographer and DJ for the slideshow and throughout the night. Easy online payment and a clear contract made the process seamless. Once again, thank you for your creativity and professionalism. You helped to make our wedding day especially memorable.

    Shindig did a phenomenal job! They didn't have much to work with in a high school gym with a very high ceiling and they were able to transform the room into a beautiful affair for the school's 50th Anniversary celebration!

    ShinDig Lighting was such a buttoned up vendor that was a pleasure to work with. Dan, the owner, is a smart and down-to-earth guy who loves what he does and provides great customer service. Given how many vendors you work with for any wedding, I appreciated that ShinDig made the process very simple and straightforward, down to the in person pre-meeting where you can see the equipment and pick colors, to the email system that allow you to make payments online (no checks to write and send in mail!). I should also add, while I was on the fence about adding lighting at our reception, the ambiance was vastly improved and it looked beautiful that night. Through ShinDig, we decided to use up-lighting, pin spotting (my personal favorite and HUGE game changer) and the photo booth. I can't tell you how much guests enjoyed the photo booth! Don't hesitate to call and book ShinDig for your wedding - They were an A+ vendor!!

    Dan and his Shindig team did an amazing job lighting my venue. He was professional, worked well with my other vendors and was flexible about scheduling and helpful around décor ideas. Loved the photobooth! My guests had an amazing time!!

    I loved working with Dan Gombos from Shindig Lighting. We waited until the last minute to plan lighting for our July wedding - since it would be daylight for the majority of the reception. But well before the stars came out, Dan helped us put a beautiful glow to our day. He uplit our sweetheart table and tent, spotlit the gorgous waterfall at our reception venue and created a vinyl decal for our dance floor. Best of all, even though it was last minute, Dan threw himself into our event, working directly with our venue and being extremely responsive, every step of the way. As a bride planning my wedding from 4 hours away, I really appreciated Dan's proactiveness and professionalism. He is the ONLY lighting vendor I would consider in the area. Bottom Line: Shindig Lighting is FANTASTIC. Don't use anyone else!

    I have contracted Shindig Lighting for use at 4 charity events over the last 3 years and would recommend Dan and his crew unequivocally. They have offered professional service at a great price and conduct themselves in a polite and easy manner. I have had the chance to attend a number of events that have used extensive a/v services from other companies and Shindig compares favorably for product, service, and support.

    They are absolutely my preferred vendor.

    Working with Dan and the team from Shindig lighting was an absolute pleasure. Right from the beginning Dan was responsive to my questions and flexible when considering my budget. He always catered to my requests and made sure that I was getting the most out of the budget we agreed on. The guys came to the wedding on time and set up without a hitch. We chose to do string piazza lighting for our venue and it looked amazing! Very sweet and personable, the shindig team was wonderful to work with. Thank you so much for helping make our day beautiful! I highly recommend!

    Thank you Dan for such an amazing lighting and decor job at Celia's Bat Mitzvah. Randy and I agree that it was beyond our expectations. I've already raved about you to anyone who will listen and especially those planning a bar or bat mitzvah. Thanks again for being so easy to work with and for doing such a beautiful and professional job. I'll post a picture to your fb page from the DJ and more when I get the pics from the photographer.

    Shindig Lighting's reply:

    Thanks for the awesome review! The Gymnastics and Cheerleading Academy of CT was a GREAT venue to showcase many of our unique services we offer. We're happy to hear you and Randy were satisfied!

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. Lighting was one of the few things I was worried about during the wedding process when a friend recommended Shindig to my husband and I. After viewing photos and speaking with Dan Gumbo we decided to have uplighting at our reception. What a difference! The colors were perfect, the atomosphere 10X better and Dan and his crew were flawless. Great vendor!

    When we had our wedding in August, I found Shindig Lighting on the internet. After meeting up with Dan (he was such a pleasant person to work with) we decided to rent the lights from him. Amazingly, the lights help bring out the wedding venue to life. Thanks Dan and thanks to Shindig Lighting we had a beautiful wedding reception.

I will definately recommend shindig for future project I'm working on.

    Dan ( owner) from Shindig lighting was wonderful to work with..he provided Lighting for the dinner -dance portion of our daughter's wedding ( Mystic Marriott ballroom) and was a pleasure to work with..we had a personal meeting at the venue to see how the lighting would look and to pick coloring and style and had numerous conversations via phone and email. Dan was knowledgable , friendly , curteous and professional..the lighting made the ballroom look magical and lovely..I would highly reccommend Shindig lighting for any occasion where one would want the added ambience that professional lighting can provide..

    Shindig Lighting's reply:

    Thanks, Miriam! It was amazing to see that ballroom transform from a "corporate meeting place" to a warm and inviting wedding reception. It was great working with you and the other phenomenal vendors as well!

    Dan and the crew at Shindig were a pleasure to work with for my wedding. I wanted purple uplighting, and Shindig offered several shades to choose from, laid everything out in a consultation, ensuring that I'd get the exact look I wanted on my wedding day. I appreciated that Shindig respected my budget throughout the planning process and never tried to pressure me into anything I couldn't afford. The lighting attendant was prompt and professional the day of, and I would highly recommend Shindig to anyone looking for lighting.

    Dan did a fantastic job with our wedding in a ballroom studio in Derby, CT. From the beginning he was able to understand our vision even when we didn't know the technical terms. He made great suggestions to guide us in the right directions, put up with changes of plan right up to the last day and was easy to contact throughout. The building is an amazing art deco piece from the 30's but it is a little dingy after all these years. We cleaned it up and hoped for the best. When we walked in to the reception our jaws dropped! Dan's lighting brought out all the artistry in the room! And the way he lit a slightly strange, large picture on one wall made it seem like a natural part of the place. I would use him again for any event!

    Shindig Lighting's reply:

    Thanks for the extremely kind words!! I agree that while the architecture and design of the ballroom is beautiful, the up-lighting really helped enhance it! I'm glad everything worked out and you and Bruce were satisfied!

    Dan and the team at Shindig were truely outstanding. They absolutely transformed the venue top to bottom and were attentive every step of the way. I am now a true believer that lighting can do more for your event than flowers or any other piece of decor. I would certainly hire them again for my next event and recommend them to my friends.

    Our venue (The Branford House) presented many challenges from layout to lighting. We trusted Dan based on his input and experience to produce the perfect setting. He did not disappoint. We needed a host of vendors who could be creative and timely when it came to the wedding day. We applaud the outcome, and thank him for working independently given our busy schedules. Thanks Dan!

    Shindig Lighting's reply:

    The Branford House does present very difficult challenges for us but I'm very glad everything worked out in the end and you were pleased with our services!

    The lighting at my wedding was absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for better. Dan was extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He knew exactly which lighting would go best with our wedding scheme, and the ceiling wash he created was beautiful. I highly recommend to use Shindig Lighting for your wedding.
