Amazing, Wonderful, Attentive, Exceeded Expectations

Altered Events was the most fabulous company to hire. I SERIOUSLY have no regrets!! They exceeded every expectation I had, their lighting was magical, the owner came to the walkthrough at our venue and was so attentive!! We hired a mirror me booth set up and they gave us a guest photo book to take home after and it’s one of my cherished gifts. Andrew was by far the BEST DJ we could have hoped for!! He was so accommodating and even took the time to text and take some phone calls with me and execute all of my fiancé’s and my weird requests!! He had such a great and upbeat personality and vibe, everything was played on time and to a T what we envisioned!! We feel like we are so lucky!! We also got chandeliers for our tent through their company and they really tied the look together! On the dance floor all the lighting was exactly what we wanted, and we got props from them for guests to dance with and everyone loved them!! I think I danced with a prop taco and light in my hand for half the night 😂 I am overjoyed, music and lights were something that was so important to us and it was PERFECT! Thank you Andrew, and thank you Altared Events and the team and Mirror Me crew for making our wedding spectacular!

Lighting completely transformed our wedding design.

My planner had such a clear and thoughtful vision for how the night would unfold, and lighting played a huge role in bringing that to life. Since our ceremony and dinner were in one space, and cocktail hour and dancing in another, our guests moved between two areas throughout the night. Every time they walked back into a space, it felt brand new—thanks to lighting.

Ceremony: soft and airy.
Cocktail hour: moody and intimate.
Dinner: a lush green glow.
Reception: an energetic blue wash.

The photos speak volumes, but even more powerful was how our guests felt in each space. They kept commenting on the atmosphere, and I truly believe lighting made that magic happen. Altared was a dream to work with—professional, creative, and made everything so seamless. Cannot recommend them enough!

We partnered with Altared on our reception lighting (string + gobo lights) and everything looked absolutely stunning. We received a ton of compliments! The team was super easy to work with and delivered on our vision perfectly. Highly recommend!!

Used Altared for lighting and disco balls at my daughter's wedding reception.

The vibe/atmosphere that Altared created for the wedding venue was perfect!! It added so much to the dance floor and reception area! They were easy to work with and gave wonderful advice on what would be the best bang for the buck.

The lighting was an absolute show stopper!

We hired Altared Weddings for our lighting and they absolutely nailed it! One of the main reasons our dance floor was going strong the whole night was due to the party and fun atmosphere that Altared help create! It was so fun and the set up was awesome! We had a good planning experience and I would hire them again! Thank you team for helping make our special day the best!!

Beautiful farmhouse string lighting

Altared Weddings did a fantastic job with adding supplemental lighting and ambiance to our wedding. They were able to build on to the existing wooden event structure to add custom lighting - when we worked with them on the contract we told them the aesthetic we were looking for and our rough budget, and they made it happen.

They were one of the first vendors to arrive on the wedding day, and didn't require any assistance or input on executing the plan, which made everything less stressful.

Fantastic Lighting for Wedding

We hired Altared for our Wedding this past November and knew that we would need a professional. It was an evening wedding, starting at 6pm at the LBJ Wildflower Center, meaning the entire event would be held after the sunset. We didn't have the biggest budget to work with but Altared took incredible care of us.
They knew what we'd be needing for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and even were able to send me example pictures of the ideas they'd already used at previous events at our own venue.
They nailed our goal of having a candlelit, romantic, elegant atmosphere and I can't recommend them highly enough.

DEFINITELY recommend for Wedding DJ/Lighting

We used Altared for our DJ and lighting services for our wedding in December of 2023 and we had a wonderful experience! They did an INCREDIBLE job with the string lighting throughout the tent of our venue. It looked romantic and perfect. We had DJ Andrew for our ceremony and reception and he was so accommodating and awesome!! Our ceremony was perfect and the reception was fun! He kept us up to date on anything coming up throughout the night and played as many of my favorite song as he could! I only wish the party/music could've gone on longer because we had SO MUCH FUN!! I definitely recommend this company!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
